Holcim

• Holcim's Type S Mortar:

  • High Strength: Type S mortar is known for its superior strength and durability, making it suitable for projects requiring higher bond strength and compressive strength. 

  • Versatile Applications: It's used in various masonry applications, including bricklaying, blockwork, and stonework, both above and below grade. 

  • Load-Bearing Walls: Type S mortar is recommended for load-bearing walls and below-grade applications where higher compressive strengths are needed. 

  • ASTM C91 Compliance: Holcim's masonry cement products, including Type S, meet or exceed ASTM C91 masonry specifications. 

  • Mortamix Masonry Cement: Holcim's Mortamix Masonry Cement is a gray cement that can be used for masonry construction. 

Portland cement is a building material that can be used in a wide variety of concrete construction, including commercial and architectural applications. Concrete made with portland cement using proper mix design and construction practices can be durable and resistant to the impact of harsh environmental influences, such as freezing and thawing, exposure to de-icing chemicals, chloride ingress, and sulfate attack. Portland cement is produced to meet ASTM C150 and AASHTO M 85 for one or more of the designation types (I-V) and may additionally meet optional requirements as presented in the product specific Material Certification Report. Uses include:

▪ Bridges ▪ Cast-in-place ▪ Concrete Masonry Units (CMU) ▪ Drains ▪ Grout ▪ Masonry ▪ Pipe ▪ Precast ▪ Pre-stress or post-tension ▪ Ready-mix ▪ Roads ▪ Soil Stabilization ▪ Tilt-up ▪ Water tanks

• Type M mortar is a high-strength mortar, suitable for heavy-duty applications like below-grade masonry and areas with high wind or seismic activity. 

• It has a 2,500 psi strength rating
