Polymer Modified Mortar

Polymer modified mortar is made by mixing polymer admixture with water, Portland cement and sand. This addition of polymer with water increases its performance and economical to use. Above that it also increases workability, toughness, flexural or tensile strength. It enhance adhesion, resistance to chemicals. Polymer modified mortar also requires less water compared to traditional mortar which results in a more dense mortar with fewer pores. How Polymers Improve Mortar Properties? Strength and Durability It improves its tensile strength impact and abrasion resistance, water resistance, and chemical resistance as compared to other mortar without using polymers. It hinder the micro-crack propagation which improves the overall toughness of the mortar. Workability Mortar made with polymer has more fluid and easy to handle and apply. It has a less water thus it has less voids and make it muchstrong. It can take long time during hydration process that in...
