Product Name
Ecorex Thin BED Mortar is a high strength adhesive for quick and firm laying of AAC block with thin joints. It is a factory mixed mortar made up of cement, graded sand and blended with polymers to impart high strength and water retention properties even when in thickness of 2-3mm layer.
Ecorex Thin BED Mortar is a high strength adhesive for quick and firm laying of AAC block with thin joints. It is a factory mixed mortar made up of cement, graded sand and blended with polymers to impart high strength and water retention properties even when in thickness of 2-3mm layer.
Special polymers impart high adhesive strength increasing overall masonry strength & load- bearing capacity.
Water is retained in mortar, thus preventing shrinkage cracks
Thin joints prevent heat transfer through walls.
It is easy to apply and avoids wastage of material.
Due to low density & high volume, it can cover 180-200sq. ft. with 3 mm thickness for 4" thick AAC Block.
Due to water retention polymers, curing is not essential after application
Quantity of Ecorex Thin BED Mortar required is 3 time lesser than conventional mortar.
No job site blending of cement & sand is required, only water is to be added.
Being light in weight and larger in size, AAC Blocks are easy to apply and facilitate the efficiency of the mason, particularly in high-rise work.
