Site Inspection Nightmares? This Mortar Prevents Costly Failures？

Frustrated by cracks in your insulation layer?Tired of rework and client complaints just months after project completion?

Crack-resistant mortar is your game-changer—say goodbye to cracks and hello to durability and peace of mind!

✅ What Is Crack-Resistant Mortar?

Crack-resistant mortar is a flexible, anti-cracking material that forms a rough, adhesive surface after application. It prevents yellowing, peeling, or cracking and is safe, eco-friendly, and easy to apply. It is widely used on both interior and exterior walls.

✅ How to Apply It Correctly?

1. Surface Preparation

Clean the surface of dust, grease, or debris. For concrete, remove projections and adhesive remains. Lightly spray water to moisten the surface.

2. Apply Interface Agent or Scratch Coat

Apply 3-4mm of crack-resistant mortar along the joints of concrete and AAC blocks, embed 400mm-wide alkali-resistant mesh cloth, and smooth out.

3. Set Thickness Control Points

Use insulation mortar “pads” (20×20mm) to control layer thickness. Spacing should be ≤1.5m.

4. Layered Application of Insulation Mortar

  • Mixing ratio: Mortar: Water = 1:1 (by weight)

  • First layer ≤1.5cm, leave rough.

  • After initial set (with mesh), apply third layer ≤2cm.

  • Wait ~24 hours between layers; avoid repeated smearing at the same spot.

5. Mesh Installation

Press alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh into the mortar during surface finishing. Avoid wrinkles. Lap joints 30–50mm; corners 100mm mesh strips.

6. Inspection & Correction

Ensure flat, clean surfaces, sharp corners, correct thickness, and no delamination, hollowing, or cracks.

7. Cleaning & Curing

Clean fallen mortar, keep the environment dry and ventilated. No need to water-cure. After 7 days, you can proceed with the next construction step.

8. Usage Precautions

  • Mix as needed to avoid waste.

  • Ambient temp. >5℃.

  • Do not add any additives.

  • Clean tools immediately after use.

  • Store in dry, ventilated place, avoid moisture and sunlight.

A Must-Know for Technicians: How to Choose the Right Mortar for Each Application?

With the continuous development of the construction industry and the changes in market demand, anti-crack mortar and plastering mortar have been widely used in the construction industry. Friends who don’t know these two kinds of mortars can easily confuse them. In fact, anti-crack mortar and plastering mortar are both suitable for leveling materials for internal and external walls. They can be used for the base surface treatment of the wall to play the role of leveling, protection and anti-erosion. So, what is the difference between anti-crack mortar and plastering mortar? Next, let's learn about it with the editor! Anti-Crack Mortar Anti-cracking mortar is a mortar made of anti-cracking agent made of polymer emulsion and admixture, cement and sand mixed with water in a certain proportion, which can meet a certain deformation and remain without cracking. Features layer is corrosion-resistant and alkali-resistant, and can prevent the surface from being damaged due to climate reasons...

Several key "time" points for tile adhesive pasting!

What is the shelf life of tile adhesive? In a cool and dry environment, the shelf life of unopened tile adhesive is 1 year. If the tile adhesive clumps, it means that its active ingredients have begun to react and should be discarded. Mixing time of tile adhesive Tile adhesive should be stirred with a low-speed mixer (500r/min). Add the powder into water and stir for 3-5 minutes to form a uniform adhesive slurry without powder lumps. How long should I wait after mixing tile adhesive with water before using it? Generally, we use a mixer to stir for 3-5 minutes, let it stand for about 5 minutes, and then stir it again before use. There are two functions of standing here: one is to remove the air brought in during the stirring process, and the other is to allow the tile adhesive to fully mature, which is conducive to maximizing the bonding strength of the tile adhesive. How long does it take to use the tile adhesive after mixing it? The operable time of tile adhesive under standard condit...
