When installed, Blockade will help create a brick wall that is built to stand the test of time and remain free from the deteriorating effects of mold and moisture that can become trapped behind brick exteriors, while preventing mortar droppings from clogging the weep holes in the brick wall assembly.

The company approached International Code Council Evaluation Services (ICC ES) to determine if an Evaluation Services Report could be obtained as an alternative to mortar. ICC ES did not have established Acceptance Criteria, which are the testing requirements a product must meet before an Evaluation Services Report will be issued. ITW TACC hired James Amrhein, the retired executive director of the Masonry Institute of America as a consultant to assist in the development of the Acceptance Criteria. As a result, ICC approved Acceptance Criteria 362 (ICC AC 362) "Acceptance Criteria for Adhesive for Masonry Construction" in February 2007. ITW TACC started the testing and, in November 2007, was issued ICC Evaluation Services Report 1968 (ICC ESR-1968) recognizing Mason Bond as an alternative to mortar meeting the requirements of the International Building Code and the International Residential Code.
"The development of the Acceptance Criteria was a key step for us to bring our product, Mason Bond Masonry Adhesive, to the market," says Walsh. "The Acceptance Criteria gave us and will give other adhesive companies the ability to develop products for masonry construction and, by receiving an Evaluation Services Report on the product, it gives building inspectors, architects, builders, developers, and contractors confidence to use these products. They been tested and are recognized as an alternative to mortar base on the evaluation of their structural, physical and durability properties"
