BONDED
For Seismic Zones
A construction bond is a must on any project. But for masonry the most important bond is the one in the wall. This is especially true in critical earthquake zones. A mortar that "grabs" brick and block is your best insurance against wall damage during a quake.
Since 1985, mortars made with Type S Lime are the only ones code-approved and permitted in seismic zones 2, 3 and 4. That's because research and experience have proven cement-lime mortars resist strong seismic loadings as no other mortar will.
The reason: Type S Lime gives a mortar microflow properties, improving tensile bond and optimum lateral strength. CHEMSTAR TYPE S LIME...it's bound to make a mortar better.
