Material Safety Data Sheet

Technical Data: The mortar should have good mechanical strength and at the same time be easy to work in order to completely and properly fill narrow spaces. Furthermore, it must be water-proof and shrink minimally during setting.

Excessive shrinkage creates stresses which are harmful to glass blocks and can cause cracks in the mortar itself to the detriment of water-proofing features.
