Masonry Cement Helps
Make Durable Walls
Durable masonry walls count on mortar joints to withstand the toughest conditions such as freezing and thawing. Masonry cement mortars endure freeze-thaw cycles because masonry cement is factory mixed and properly proportioned with just the right amount of entrained air. Add less drying shrinkage and greater sulfate resistance, ...and durability is in the bag!
In a series of ASTM C 666 tests, masonry cement mortars showed less freeze-thaw deterioration (weight loss) than portland cement-lime mortars. Send for a free report.
