This Thin Bed Mortar has been developed using recycled and reused waste materials designed to reduce environmental impact, save water, improve energy efficiency, reduce maintenance and maximize building life. The use of alternative materials such as the environmental pollutants viz., fly ash, which works as a major filler and also modifies the product properties alongside some polymers in certain proprietary formulation.
The products are so designed that besides the eco friendly aspect , they give value addition in the performance. There is saving on internal site logistics, labour, time, water and energy and is available in (15/20 kgs) bags, requiring no additions of any water at the job site. It is also free from post & pre curing which is the unique & distinct advantage to the industry, which is already struggling to secure water resource the world over.
Application
Apply Citadel's Thin -Bed Mortar with a notched trowel over both the vertical and horizontal surfaces of the BLOCKS then place into position. Do not move the bricks/block unit after mortar has set, as this will break the bond. Features and Benefits
