DRY MIX MORTAR (DMM) (DRY MIX PLANT WILL CONSTITUTE OF FOLLOWING ITEMS: READY MIX PLASTER, THIN BED MORTAR, TILE ADHESIVES (FLOOR AND WALL TILES) AND TILE GROUTS)

Dry Mortar Mix is gaining eminence in modern times owing to its versatile superiority in regard to characteristics over the conventional in-situ mortars viz. better performance easy to uses easy to set and the quality of leaving no crakes and voiles. Besides it has preferably better and wider field of application as patching & repairing materials for plasting purposes and other construction works viz. internal/external plastering masonry work etc.  It is a very good substitute for conventional in-situ mortars.
Various  types  of  Ready mix  dry  mortar  comprise internal plaster  mortar,  external plaster mortar masonry  mortar,  quick setting  mortar high strength mortar repair mortar  self  leaving flooring mortar pre-mix RCC mortar etc.
One specific advantage regarding manufacture of these ready mix dry mortar is that they can be manufactured in a single unit by variation in composition proportions as per different formulations.
Ready mix dry mortar is particularly useful on congested siles or in road construction where little space for the  mixing plant and for extensive aggregate stockpile is available but  the greatest single advantage of ready mix dry mortar is that it may be made under better conditions of control than are  normally possible on any large construction sites.
MORTARS
These consist of finely ground refractory grain and plasticizers that can be  thinly spread on brick during construction.
For air – setting mortars sodium silicates or phosphates provide strength at  room temperature. Heat setting mortars contain no additives and develop strength only when a ceramic bond is formed at high temperatures.
AIR – SETTING MORTAR
A refractory composition containing chemical agents that sure hardening at temperatures below that of ceramic bonding but above room temperature sometimes called “air hardening”.
HOT-SETTING BONDING MORTAR
A refractory mortar material which requires relatively high temperature fro the development of a bond.
MASONRY CEMENTS
Masonry cements are cements fro use in mortars for masonry construction.  They are formulated to yield easily workable mortars and contain special additives that reduce the  loss  of water from the mortar to the prours masonry units.
