CONCLUSION
The purpose of this Technical Notes is to familiarize the architect, engineer and contractor with a new product in the construction industry. This issue is not meant to become a design standard for anyone contemplating the use of Sarabond, but only as reference material to help guide the design professional. To date, Sarabond's greatest use has been in the field of prefabricated brick masonry panel construction. Because of Sarabond's

high bonding properties, flexural reinforcing may sometimes be eliminated, wall thicknesses reduced and backup eliminated, thus simplifying previous construction and erection associated with conventional masonry. With the durability of brick masonry and the flexibility and economy of panel construction, Sarabond brand high-bond mortar additive has opened new vistas for the use of brick in the construction industry.
