Technical Information

Compressive Strength

7 days

1,900 psi (13.1 MPa)

28 days

> 2,000 psi (13.8 MPa)

These are laboratory tests, simulating the strength in the wall—not in the mortar tub. Field tests from the mortar tub will be lower due to the fact that more water is added (See ASTM C-270-99 section 3 and Note 3 after section 5).

Tensile Strength

117 psi ( 0.8 MPa)

(ASTM C-1072)

Application steps

MIXING

  • BMI Mortar 950 Type S contains all ingredients in dry form, only water needs to be added.
  • Mix one bag of BMI Mortar 950 Type S with approximately 1 gallon of clean water to a plastic-like consistency.
  • Do not mix longer than 5 minutes.

APPLICATION

  • Apply to brick or block, lay brick or block on top before mortar surface has formula skin.
  • Push brick or block into mortar to form uniform joints of approximately 3/8” (9.5 mm).
  • Make sure that head joints are filled with mortar.
  • Tool joints when mortar has set to thumb print hard.
  • Tool all joints at vise set to assure uniform color of the mortar joints.
