Type S Mortar Mix","description":"\u003cp\u003eSPEC MIX Type S is a factory-batched masonry mortar supplied as a dry preblended powder that is mixed with clean water at the job site. The cementitious binder and dried masonry sand are proportioned and blended under plant control, so the mason is not measuring cement and sand by the shovel and the mix stays consistent from bag to bag across a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eType S is the middle-strength designation in the standard mortar family, sitting above Type N for compressive and flexural bond strength while retaining the workability and water retention a bricklayer needs for a full day of laying. It is the usual choice where masonry carries meaningful load, sees lateral pressure from soil or wind, or sits at or below grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bagged format suits hand loading into a paddle or drum mixer for repair work, small walls and patch-ins, where a silo or bulk bag would be impractical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry preblended mortar mix; only clean water is added and mixed at the job site\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory proportioning of binder and sand keeps strength, workability and color consistent between batches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType S designation provides higher compressive and flexural bond strength than Type N mortar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeets the ASTM C270 property specification for Type S mortar and the requirements of ASTM C1714 for preblended mortar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormulated for bond, water retention and board life so the mortar stays workable on the board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduced under controlled manufacturing with quality control measures applied to each batch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBag packaging sized for hand loading into conventional mortar mixers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for masonry above or below grade when manufactured to the appropriate specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaying clay brick in load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSetting concrete block (CMU) in structural masonry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelow-grade masonry such as foundation and basement walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetaining walls, site walls and other masonry exposed to lateral loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChimney, parapet and pier work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone and masonry veneer bedding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuckpointing and repointing repairs where a Type S mortar is appropriate to the existing assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall-batch patching and mortar joint replacement on masonry repair jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SPEC MIX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Preblended masonry mortar mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMortar Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Type S\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry powder, mixed with water on site\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cementitious binder with dried masonry sand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBag Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 lb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards:\u003c\/strong\u003e ASTM C270 Type S property specification; ASTM C1714\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 LB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpec Mix\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Spec Mix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55048743813459,"sku":"SPECMS","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/7743\/4195\/files\/arch-placeholder-coming-soon_0426cb9d-7fa7-4e36-b47b-f3336b4d8b9b.webp?v=1790259897","url":"https:\/\/arch-9365.myshopify.com\/zh\/products\/spec-mix-80-lb-type-s-mortar-mix-specms","provider":"ARCH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
