Cell O Con Dry Mix Mortar For AAC
CELL O CON Dry-mix Mortar is one of the most versatile materials used in the modern construction industry. It serves to lay bricks and other masonry blocks, it is also used for coat building as renders, skim coat & fix tiles. In present times, most Indian and Foreign construction Industries are demanding new improved building materials. The modern CELL O CON Dry-mix Mortar is produced in a special factory with dedicated facilities on batching & blending of all the necessary ingredients in a highly – controlled process. In this way, different types of CELL O CON Dry Mix Mortar products are equipped with well-defined properties and performance to meet specific requirements. Today, the CELL O CON Dry-mix Mortar is conquering the market by replacing the traditional job site mixing mortar because of its innumerable advantages.
CELL O CON Dry Mix Mortar is produced in specially designed dry mix mortar plants in which binders and aggregate are mixed appropriately. These are then transported to construction sites with the help of bags or silos and need to be only mixed with water before use. This factory-based process also allows different additives and admixtures to be added to these mortars to improve significantly their technical performance. Based on this technology individual Dry Mix Mortar for a specific application can be produced. Admixtures are added into the Dry Mix Mortar to get maximum technical properties such as workability, consistency, water retention of the mix, and also hardened mortar property that is compressive strength and bond strength.

METHOD OF APPLICATION In Ready Mix Mortar
Surface Preparation :
To ensure proper adhesion the surface of blocks should be free from dust, oil and other loose particles.
Mixing :
CELL O CON Lightweight dry mix mortar supplied in bags must be mixed with potable water only, in a clean plastic bucket or a clean non-corrosive uncontaminated metal tub. To ensure a blockwork and uniform mix, an electric agitator or paddle mixer must be used. The amount of water to be added is approximately 30% by weight. Further, lightweight Cell O Con Dry mix mortar must be added to water, followed by adding the contents of the bag carefully. Stir frequently, once mixed, allow to settle for 5 minutes, and mix again before applying. No further water should be added to the dry cement mix, hard or set mortar should not be remixed or reused
Storage: CELL O CON lightweight dry mix mortar must be stored in a dry place, off the ground and well covered. Hard or lumpy material must be rejected.
Cleaning: Tools and equipment should be cleaned promptly with clean water.
Shelf Life: CELL O CON Dry mix mortar’s shelf life is 6 Months in tightly sealed bags
Packaging : 30 kg bags / 40 kg bags
