Description
DRY-BLOCK® Mortar Admixture, part of the DRY-BLOCK® System, is formulated based on a patented technology. It is a liquid, integral water-repellent, bond-enhancing admixture for masonry mortar. Tests demonstrate that DRY-BLOCK® Mortar Admixture increases the flexural bond of both Portland cement/Lime and Masonry cement mortars to CMUs.
The wicking property, the amount of water absorbed, of masonry mortar is dramatically reduced when DRY-BLOCK® Mortar Admixture is added at its recommended dosage rate. DRY-BLOCK® Mortar Admixture is a requirement for all DRY-BLOCK® System projects and no substitutions shall be allowed.
As an integral admixture, DRY-BLOCK® Mortar Admixture provides bond enhancement and water penetration resistance throughout the depth of the mortar joint. DRY-BLOCK® Mortar Admixture’s water-repellent properties will prevent the moisture from wicking through the mortar joint into the building’s interior. Likewise, it will not be wicked back to the exterior carrying soluble salts that can cause efflorescence at the joints on the wall exterior.
Application areas
- DRY-BLOCK® Mortar Admixture contains workability agents to improve ease of placement with more efficient use of the mix water.
