What is Bostik General Purpose Mortar?
Bostik General Purpose Mortar is a high-quality, grey-coloured powder composed of cement and graded sand.

Ideal for smaller-scale projects, Bostik General Purpose Mortar excels in applications such as laying bricks and blocks, patching and pointing existing masonry, and handling general masonry repairs. Its convenience also makes it well-suited for a variety of minor installation and ongoing maintenance tasks on both interior and exterior surfaces.
Applications

Application Guidelines
Surface Preparation:
- Ensure all surfaces are clean, sound, and free from dust, grease, or any loose material.
- Thoroughly dampen porous surfaces before application to prevent rapid moisture loss from the mortar, but avoid standing water.
Mixing:
- Gradually add 100ml to 150ml of clean, cold water to each 1kg of Bostik General Purpose Mortar powder directly in the tub (or a suitable mixing vessel).
- Mix thoroughly by hand or with a suitable mechanical mixer until a smooth, consistent, and workable paste is achieved.
- Do not add excessive water, as this will weaken the mortar. Only mix as much mortar as can be used within the 1-hour working time.
Application:
- Apply the mixed mortar using appropriate tools (e.g., trowel, pointing hawk) according to standard masonry practices for the specific task (bricklaying, pointing, patching).
- Ensure the mortar is applied within its working time and within the recommended application temperature range of +5°C to +25°C.
Cleaning:
- Clean tools and equipment with warm soapy water immediately after use, before the mortar sets.
