cement mortar

Brick bonding compound

Cement mortar is a paste of cement, sand, and water used to bind bricks, stones, or concrete blocks together in construction.

It fills gaps between masonry units and hardens as it cures, creating a strong bond.

Distinguished from concrete by the absence of gravel or large aggregate: The mason spread cement mortar between each course of bricks.
