Working with Dry Mix Concrete

When you use green building products, you need to consider getting dry mix products that will go well with them and ensure their durability and reliability in the long run. Dry mix concrete is a good choice for AAC (autoclaved aerated concrete) blocks. Also known as ‘dry mix mortar,’, it is formulated with innovative technologies that allow you to produce extremely thin joints that are at least 2mm thick, making it a suitable alternative to traditional mortar. Leading AAC block manufacturers in India carry a great selection of dry mix products, so you should be able to find the right one for your project.

Thin joint mortar is utilized in most installations where AAC blocks are used, generally to hold them together. Even if you apply it at only 2mm to 3mm thick, it guarantees high water retention properties and optimum strength. This type of dry mix concrete product is a dependable high-strength adhesive that lets you lay AAC blocks firmly and quickly. The ideal formulation includes cement, polymers, and graded sand. The mortar retains water effectively, so you do not have to worry about cracks forming due to shrinkage.

High-quality dry mix concrete guarantees high bond strength to provide enhanced load bearing capacity and overall masonry strength. You will find the product to be more economical and capable of helping you save time, as the quantity required for lying the blocks is three times less than traditional mortar. The higher volume and low density of mortar products allow for more coverage. So, a 40kg bag should be able to cover 170 to 180 square-foot area of four-inch thick AAC blocks.

Working with dry mix concrete is simpler and time-saving, as it is already pre-mixed. So, there is no need to blend on-site. Just add water, and it will be ready to use. Moreover, curing is not required due to the polymers that can retain water. Easy application helps reduce waste.
