Is there a big difference between dry powder mortar and ready-mixed mortar? Don't they all come from the factory, and all the ingredients are mixed in proportion?

Now the names of mortar are very confusing, including ready-mixed mortar, dry-mixed mortar, dry-mixed mortar, mixed mortar and so on.

Mortar comes from international common use, and ready-mixed mortar is the name put forward by the Standards Committee itself.

However, to build a factory to produce dry powder mortar, it is necessary to re-invest in production equipment, workshops and personnel allocation. In view of these circumstances, the Construction Committee encouraged the mixing station to produce mortar, which saved the tedious work of rebuilding the factory. The mortar produced by the mixing station is ready-mixed mortar (which is also the origin of the name).

Extended data:

Dry powder mortar is mainly used in decoration engineering, such as insulation, tiling, self-leveling, waterproofing and so on. It is a material that can be used directly after being mixed with water. Ready-mixed mortar is ordinary cement lime mortar.

As a substitute for traditional mortar, dry powder mortar has many advantages.

Mortars with different purposes, such as masonry mortar, plastering mortar, ground mortar and special mortar for building blocks, have different requirements on the special properties of materials such as shrinkage resistance, crack resistance, heat preservation and moisture resistance, and the construction performance required for construction is also different.

These characteristics can only be realized by scientific formula and strict preparation. It is difficult to prepare all the needed raw materials at the construction site, and the construction equipment at the site cannot guarantee to meet the quality requirements. Large-scale automatic production of dry powder mortar, the product quality is reliable and stable, and a variety of trace chemical additives ensure that the product meets special quality requirements.
