Data Sheet
Thin Bed Mortar
Hebel Thin Bed Mortar is a high-performance, factory-blended dry mortar specially designed for bonding Hebel RAAC blocks and panels.
Applied in thin layers, it delivers precise alignment, strong adhesion, and consistent joint quality for fast and durable construction.
Applied in thin layers, it delivers precise alignment, strong adhesion, and consistent joint quality for fast and durable construction.
Advantages
- High Bond Strength: Ensures excellent adhesion between Hebel RAAC elements.
- Thin Joint Application: Creates uniform joints, reducing material consumption and thermal bridging.
- Fast Setting: Accelerates construction speed and early strength gain.
- Easy to Apply: Smooth workability allows quick and clean installation.
- Thermal Efficiency: Thin joints improve overall wall insulation performance.
- Durable & Crack-Resistant: Maintains long-term joint integrity.
- Compatible System Product: Specifically formulated for Hebel RAAC construction systems.
Applications
- Bonding Hebel RAAC load-bearing wall panels.
- Installation of non-load-bearing wall panels.
- Jointing floor, slab, and roof panels.
- Precast RAAC element assembly on site.
- New construction and renovation projects.
- Precision masonry requiring smooth, uniform joints.
