Application:
1) Thin bed mortar for laying blocks:
Before placing mortar, ensure the block work to be dry and surfaces cleaned properly. Place the mixed mortar on the block work in thin layers of 2 to 3 mm (or as required by engineers at site) using trowel and place the next layer of blocks on the mortar. Keep joints between the blocks as required by the site engineers and fill the joints with the mixed mortar, using a trowel. Check the plumb of the wall while laying the blocks to keep the walls perfectly vertical to the plumb.
2) Smoothing over the block work:
Before placing mixed mortar, apply a bonding layer of 1 to 2 mm thick AAC Block Adhesive mortar using a trowel pressing down on the block work. Then apply AAC Block Adhesive at a thickness of 8 to 10mm and smoothen using a sponge or rubber / wooden float.
3) As Adhesive to install tiles:
AAC Block Adhesive can be used as a thin-set adhesive to install tiles/stones on AAC Block/Fly ash brick walls. Use a suitable notch
trowel to achieve desired thickness of adhesive for installation of tiles /stones on the wall
Product Information:
AAC Block Adhesive is a factory prepared blend of carefully selected raw materials, Portland cement and graded aggregates and polymers. Designed for use with water to produce high strength thixotropic mortar, for laying Aerated Light weight concrete, Fly ash bricks, cement hollow blocks, Cellular concrete blocks or smoothing over the block work surface in layers of up to 12mm thickness, that meet and exceed the requirements of National and International Standards.
