mortar mix

Powdered bonding agent

Mortar mix is a dry blend of cement, sand, and additives that becomes mortar when water is added.

It's used to bind bricks, stones, or concrete blocks in masonry work: We picked up a bag of mortar mix at the hardware store.

The premixed product eliminates the need to measure and combine ingredients on site.
