Block jointing mortar is a grey powder composed of chemical bonding agents, minerals, synthetic resins, and special adhesives. It is an easily workable product with high adhesive power and low viscosity. It is a paste used to bind AAC blocks together and fill the gaps in between the structure. The mortar is properly curated to provide strength and adhesion to walls made from AAC blocks and other construction materials. Most people use this material for strengthening the internal and external walls fabricated using AAC blocks or fly ash bricks.
Let’s discover the advantages of block jointing mortar—
-
Speedy Construction
Block jointing mortar is a ready-to-mix material that is economical, fast and easy to use. In addition, the water required for its application facilitates a speedy construction process. In contrast with cement sand mortar, the raw materials must be in proportionate quantity and mixed carefully to obtain the paste which consumes a lot of time.
-
Thermal Insulation
Block jointing mortar formulated to match the thermal insulation property of AAC blocks. Hence, the construction masonry acts as a barrier ensuring enhancement in the thermal insulation and fire resistance property, unlike other conventional mortar.
-
No Curing
Block jointing mortar is a ready-to-use, non-shrinkable, and self–curing product. In addition to secure high strength, the mortar is mixed with clean potable water to achieve a creamy mixture and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes before use.
-
Compressive & Adhesive Strength
Block jointing mortar provides excellent bonding and is crack-free. The average compressive strength of block jointing mortar is >5N/mm that makes it highly compressive. It has exceptional adhesion properties, so no slip/crack is observed on vertical application.
-
Cleanliness & No wastage
Block jointing mortar is known for its smooth application. The entire process of mixing, transporting and application is hassle-free and helps in keeping the construction site neat & clean. On the other hand, the cement mortar produces 20-30% of wastage during its use.
Conclusion
So, these are the few advantages of block jointing mortar that helps you to build sturdy buildings which are water-resistant and much more. The engineers, constructors, and builders, must use a jointing mortar for superior consistency and quality. Block jointing mortar is cost-effective and has many advantages. Because of its benefits, the transportation, curing, and labor cost drastically decrease and make it an ideal choice for construction projects.
