MAC Scratch & Brown-Premium A premium quality, polymer modified, high strength cement mortar designed as a scratch and brown coat. MAC Scratch & Brown-Premium provides a much stronger, water repellant, base for VBM Mortars than field mixed cement plasters. It has low shrinkage and crack resistant properties than standard cement - lime plaster mortars.

MAC Scratch & Brown-Plus / MAC Scratch & Brown A high strength, cement plaster mix with additional water repellant properties. It does not contain the additional polymer of MAC Scratch & Brown-Premium. MAC Scratch & Brown-Plus provides a much stronger, water repellant base for VBM bonding mortars than field mixes utilizing plastic cement. It provides a good balance between performance and economy. MAC Scratch & Brown has less water repellant/efflorescence properties. Both products meet ASTM C-270* Type S property specifications.

Poly Deck Mud A premium quality, polymer modified, dry pack mortar used as a levelling thick bed mortar for paver installation. The polymer modification provides added flexural strengths and impact resistance. It is the product recommended for the most demanding, extra heavy duty applications. Poly Deck Mud has very high compressive strengths, water repellant and efflorescence control. The water repellency provides resistance to the paver installation from water migration from the substrate.

Deck Mud-Plus / Deck Mud A high quality, water repellant, thick bed mortar designed as a levelling bed beneath paver installations. Deck Mud-Plus is applied as a dry pack mortar.
