Roadstone Flomix Hydrocure dry silo mortars offer a number of advantages over standard mortar mixes.

Natural unglazed clay brick can have a very high initial rate of water absorption. This can be problematic for traditional mortar mixes as the water is rapidly absorbed from the fresh mortar in to the brick causing the mortar to stiffen and become difficult to work. This can cause issues with the positioning of the brick, the quality of the bedding and the pointing of the mortar joint. Many manufacturers recommend that bricks are soaked prior to laying to overcome this issue. However this is not always practical and can cause issues later in the build.

Roadstone Flomix Hydrocure overcomes this problem with the use of high performance admixtures to greatly increase the water retention of the mortar while also improving cohesiveness. The result is that the mortar retains much of its initial workability when used with clay brick and other masonry units that have a high initial rate of water absorption. This will increase the efficiency and ease of use for the bricklayer, during both laying and pointing, as well as the quality of the finished mortar joint.
