FORTRESS MORTAR™ is an exceptionally high strength mortar engineered to provide tremendous load bearing and bonding strengths when used in conjunction with standard PC based CMUs or CMUs manufactured with CERATECHs RediMAX™ cement. FORTRESS MORTAR™ is a single component powder that is water activated. It provides up to 2 hours of working / handling time and will reach compressive strengths of more than 3000 psi in 24 hours and 6,600 psi in 28 days. FORTRESS MORTAR™ can be used in place of Portland cement mortar and can be mixed in a standard grout / mortar mixer.
