PUERTO RICO
you should be using
our Type S Lime
Damage to modern masonry structures in critical seismic zones has been minimal despite an average of more than 25 quakes every year over 3.0. Mortars containing type S lime are part of the reason why. In the red zones mortars with type S lime are the only ones approved by all major building codes and proven in the field through years of actual use.
The high bond strength of Type S lime resists lateral movement, helps the mortar "grab'" brick and block, making it your best bond insurance against wall damage. Not just in quakes and high winds, but anywhere structures are built to last. For more information about Type S Lime, contact Chemstar at 601 N. Parkcenter Drive, Suite 102, Santa Ana, CA 92705; in CA, (800) 824-0344; outside CA, (800) 523-8977.
