If you're in a yellow, red or orange zone... you should be using Chemstar Type S Lime.
Damage to modern masonry structures in critical wind and/or seismic zones (depicted on the map in yellow for wind, red for seismic and orange for both wind and seismic) has been minimal despite wind speeds ranging from 80-110 mph, and routine quakes over 3.0 on the Richter scale. Mortars containing Type S Lime are part of the reason why. In the yellow, red and especially in the high risk orange zones, mortars with Type S Lime have been proven through years of actual use.
The high bond strength of Type S Lime resists lateral movement from high winds and quakes, helps the mortar "grab" brick and block, making it the best bond insurance against wall damage. Not just in hurricane and high wind areas, but also in quake areas and anywhere structures are built to last. For more information about Type S Lime, contact Chemstar Lime, 495 E. Rincon, Suite 202, Corona, CA 91719; U.S. and Canada Wats (800) 523-8977
