3 Product Description
A liquid polymer designed to be used in place of water to increase
performance of cement mortar beds, non-modified, thin-set mortars
and cement-based grouts. It improves working characteristics and
performance of cement-based mixes to boost water resistance, shock
resistance and freeze-thaw capabilities for tile, stone or masonry
installations. Increases performance of non-modified thin-set mortars
for setting dense tile and setting over hard-to-bond surfaces. Thin-Set
Mortar Admix can be used with non-modified, thin-set mortars such
as,CustomBlend®ThinSetMortarandUncouplingMatMortar.Itcan
also be used with Saltillo Grout Mix.
