1,000 QUAKES
Over 1,000 quakes above 3.0 on the Richter Scale were recorded in the Western U.S. since January 17, 1994. Mortars made with Type S lime are part of the reason why damage to modern masonry structures was minimal. In the West, mortars containing Type S lime are code-approved for seismic zones 2, 3 and 4. The reason...high bond strength to resist lateral movement.
Chemstar Type S Lime helps "grab" brick and block, making it your best bond insurance against wall damage. Not just in regions subject to quakes or high wind loads, but anywhere structures are built to last. Chemstar Type S Lime is available in the West, Southwest, Texas and Western Canada. For sales or technical information about Chemstar Type S Lime, call (800) 274-8977.
