Easy-Spred® is used in mortar.....

As a code recognized lime replacement and as an admixture.  Easy-Spred® enhances the workability of mortar while improving board-life.  For example: In hot weather or when used with a high IRA brick, Easy-Spred® will greatly improve the performance of the mortar.  Easy-Spred® will also help produce a mortar that offers high compressive and bond strength, reduced efflorescence, reduced drying shrinkage, reduced segregation and cost savings. 

And because of its colloidal properties, colored mortars produced with Easy-Spred® will be more vibrant and consistent:  Easy-Spred® will reduce mottling and streaking of pigments.  Easy-Spred also has great body, flow and pumping characteristics that are beneficial to grouts, tuck-pointing mortars and stone veneer mortars.

As Easy-Spred® is conveniently packaged in seven pound bags, transportation and storage is very convenient.  Easy-Spred® is also non-toxic and safe to the skin, helping to produce a more user friendly mortar.
