Present in almost every step of the process, mortars are essential to have more quality and durability in construction jobs.
To offer more efficiency, mortars have been modernized since those made only with sand, cement, lime and water no longer meet the needs of civil construction.
With the search for high performance and adherence, mortar has evolved into cement. This is ideal for new construction systems as it prioritizes thermal and acoustic performance to meet the requirements of ABNT NBR 15575.
