Why is it Referred to as the "Special Forces" among Mortars?
Special mortars are widely used in construction projects, such as tile adhesives for tile installation, bonding mortars and plastering mortars for external wall insulation, self-leveling cement for floor leveling, etc. Flat base mortars and polymer waterproof mortars for external wall waterproofing, as well as decorative mortars for wall finishing, all fall into the category of special mortars.
With its superior performance and versatile applications, special mortar provides unlimited possibilities for architectural design and construction projects.
What Exactly is Special Mortar?
Special mortar is essentially a type of mortar in its own right. It is a mortar formulated to meet special performance requirements such as waterproofing, radiation protection, corrosion resistance, sound absorption, thermal insulation, bonding and decoration.
Let us now introduce the following categories of special mortars.
◆Thermal Insulation Mortar: A widely used building insulation material for residential/commercial/ public buildings, enhancing thermal insulation, ensuring indoor comfort, with fire/water resistance and noise reduction.
◆Polymer-Modified Waterproof Mortar: An emerging building material, preventing water leakage, applicable to home decoration (bathrooms/kitchens), with improved performance via polymer additives.
◆Putty: A high-viscosity base material for wall smoothing/repair, formulated with binders, fillers and pigments, featuring crack resistance, strong adhesion and pore-filling, preparing for subsequent decoration.
◆Self-Leveling Mortar: Eco-friendly (non-toxic, formaldehyde-free) with industrial by-product gypsum as main component, fast-curing (foot traffic in 4-5h), wear/water-resistant, ideal for home floor leveling, energy-saving as cement alternative.
◆Gypsum Plaster: High-performance interior wall finishing material, outperforming cement mortar with fire/thermal/sound insulation, impact resistance and anti-hollowing, ensuring smooth walls.
◆Tile Adhesive: A new decoration material replacing cement-sand mixture, with high adhesion for large tiles/stone, low-cost, water-retentive and anti-hollowing, suitable for large-area tile installation.
◆Anti-Crack Mortar: Mixed with anti-crack agents, cement and sand, deformable without cracking, easy to apply, eco-friendly, with impermeability and durability, applicable to interior/exterior walls.
