Is Polymer Enriched Mortar Modified

Ceramic Tile Mortar is a regular-setting, polymer-enriched (“modified”) mortar for installing tile and stone on floors and walls in thin-set applications.

What is polymer enriched mortar?

Polymer-modified mortar and concrete are prepared by mixing either a polymer or monomer in a dispersed, powdery or liquid form with fresh cement mortar and concrete mixtures, and subsequently cured, and if necessary, the monomer contained in the mortar or concrete is polymerized in-situ.

Is Thinset with polymer modified?

Unlike unmodified mortar, which consists only of a blend of Portland cement, sand, and water retention agents, modified thinset includes additional retention products, such as latex polymers, which can increase its performance and strength.
