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.
