STONE VENEER MORTAR (PMSVM)
SPEC MIX® Polymer Modified Stone Veneer Mortar (PMSVM) is a technologically advanced veneer mortar for bonding adhered manufactured stone veneer, natural thin cut stone and thin brick. PMSVM is engineered and rigorously tested to meet the requirements of ASTM C 270 and ASTM C 1714 including ANSI 118.4 (F-5.1.5) and ACI 530 shear bond standards. For excellent workability, sag resistance and high bond strength to eliminate "pop-offs," SPEC MIX PMSVM is the mason contractor's solution to installing adhered veneer for maximum durability and productivity.
