AAC BLOCK JOINTING MORTAR: BLOCK FIX
DISCRIPTION
POWERFIX BLOCK is a versatile thin jointing adhesive for thin bed application. This mortar cum adhesive is specially designed to provide stronger, durable bonding between the blocks with optimum adhesive strength.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Uniform and consistent quality
- High tensile adhesion for good bonding strength
- No shrinkage cracks at joints
- Ready for subsequent application
- Replacement for conventional cement and sand mortar
- Thin bed joints and less material consumption
ECONOMICAL:
- Save substantial cost compared to conventional mortar.
- Saves time- eliminates lengthy and cumbersome process of site mixing.
AREA OF APPLICATION
- It is recommended masonry wall preparation by joining all type of AAC blocks, fly ash bricks.
METHOD OF APPLICATION

- Wet the blocks, bricks, concrete blocks before application of POWERFIX BLOCKFIX to avoid abrupt absorption of water from material.
- POWERFIX BLOCKFIX requires 25% of water by weight of material.
- Mix POWERFIX BLOCKFIX to the measured quantity of water using mechanical stirring for 2-3 minutes to ensure a consistency free of lumps.
APPLICATION
- It is recommended to apply POWERFIX BLOCKFIX with notch trowels for attaining uniform thickness of 3 mm consistently.
- Avoid using POWERFIX BLOCKFIX in watery consistency (slurry form) to avoid generation of air pockets between the AAC blocks and development of cracks.
