joint grouts

MAC Mortar-Premium A premium quality, polymer modified, Type S masonry mortar designed for joint grouting applications of masonry veneers and pavers. The polymer modification provides added flexural bond strength, low shrinkage, stain resistance, efflorescence protection and water repellant properties. It is recommend for the most demanding application conditions. All MAC Mortars use coarser masonry sand. It meets ASTM C-270* Type S properties specifications and ANSI 106 – compressive strength and absorption requirements.

MAC Mortar-Plus A high quality water repellant, Type S masonry mortar designed for joint grouting masonry veneers and pavers. It is highly water repellant and provides excellent efflorescence reducing properties, stain resistance, compressive strength, and low shrinkage. The water resistance also protects color integrity. It is recommended for most veneers and pavers with pedestrian traffic and light vehicle traffic. It meets ASTM C-270* Type S property specifications and ANSI 106 – compressive strengths, and water absorptions requirements. All MAC Mortars are made with coarser masonry sand.

MAC Mortar A high quality masonry mortar meeting ASTM C-270* - Type S property specifications. It does not have the high level of water repellence of MAC Mortar-Plus but still includes efflorescence reducing properties. MAC Mortar has good work ability, strengths, and low shrinkage. It is recommended for most veneers and paver applications with pedestrian traffic. All MAC Mortars are made with coarser masonry sand.

VP Joint Grout-Premium / VP Joint Grout A premium quality, polymer modified cement mortar designed for joint grout applications requiring a finer sand. The higher level of polymer modification of Premium make it recommended for the most demanding applications—pavers with vehicle traffic. It is highly water repellant, has excellent stain resistance, efflorescence reducing properties, compressive strengths and low shrinkage. VP Joint Grout-Premium and VP Joint Grout meet the compressive strength and water absorptions requirements of ANSI 106.4. VP Joint Grout has a lower level of polymer modification.
