MASONRY & MORTAR CEMENT
Lafarge Masonry Cement is specially formulated to ensure a uniform product and colour to produce quality masonry mortar for use in brick, block, and stone masonry construction. Lafarge Canada Inc. manufactures Types N and S masonry and mortar cements. Lafarge masonry cement eliminates the need to field proportion materials. A more uniform mortar can be obtained when only one blending operation is involved.
Masonry Cement
Masonry cements are composed of portland cement, plasticizers, and air entraining additives. These components are proportioned at the cement plant under controlled conditions to assure uniformity of performance.
