Liquid mortar adhesive is one of the most used additives in the civil industry. In order to increase the adhesion between the parts of the mixture and ensure good adhesion of the substrates to the mass, the adhesive plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of the element and improving the performance of the mortar even after the curing process.
Therefore, it is an important resource to ensure the quality of your mortar productions - whether they are based on concrete or plaster. However, it is common to have doubts about which liquid adhesive is best for each situation and, with the lack of information about the options available on the market, many people end up not using this aid or using products that are not always the most suitable for their needs.
In this article, we will better understand the advantages of using liquid mortar adhesive and learn about BlokFix, the line of mortar adhesives developed by Blok to take its productions to a new level. Check out the following:

Adhesive for Mortar, Roughcast, Concrete and Plaster
Mortar has been used by man for millennia to erect buildings. Throughout its history, the material has undergone several changes and improvements, adapted to the specificities of each region of the world and evolving according to the technological advances of each era.
Nowadays, there are the most diverse types of mortar available to construction professionals - the most advantageous mixtures have been studied and developed for the requirements of the most diverse types of application. With the advancement of construction technology, mortar's greatest allies in its work were also developed: additives.
Basically, additives are products that can be added to the mixture and positively alter the properties contained in the mortar, improving its performance and facilitating the work of the professionals who handle it. In this sense, several different additive options are already available on the market, such as waterproofing agents, shrinkage inhibitors, accelerators and glue retardants, viscosity modifiers, air removers and water reducers or plasticizers, for example.
Liquid mortar adhesive is therefore one of the types of additives that exist to improve mixing efficiency. When added to the putty, it promotes its better fixation on various surfaces, such as concrete, brickwork, EPS and drywall, making it more durable and easier to work with.
It increases the adhesion of the mortar and the substrates used, and can be used in various types of mixtures - including even chapisco putties, for example, in which it helps to avoid splashing during application.

Why use liquid adhesive mortar?
Liquid mortar adhesive guarantees several benefits with its application, being an important additive to improve the quality of various elements worked with cement or gypsum-based mortar. In addition to improving the adhesion of the mortar to concrete and masonry surfaces, the mortar adhesive facilitates the application and improves the plasticity of the mixture, helping the professional to work the dough with more convenience and proficiency.
This additive also increases the resistance of mortars to wear and impact, strengthening the strength of the part and helping to extend the useful life of the work. The adhesive reduces the shrinkage of the mortar during its drying process and reduces the appearance of cracks, which helps to make the result less permeable - in addition to preventing the erosion of the mass due to the ingress of moisture.
However, it is important to pay attention to the quality of the materials used to mix your mortar to guarantee the quality of the final result, ensuring good strength and durability for the work performed.
When it comes to additives, the rule is the same: trust only products manufactured by credible brands, since low-quality substances may not be able to provide the expected benefits and even compromise the integrity of your construction, causing problems with the appearance of pathologies in the future.
Therefore, in the following item, we will present Blok's line of liquid mortar adhesives, a brand with experience in manufacturing construction products with certified quality.
Get to know BlokFix and BlokFix CC
BlokFix and BlokFix CC are part of the line of products that Blok developed for use as adhesive for concrete, adjusting mortars, cement plasters and plaster. Formulated from high-performance synthetic resins, when mixed with cement and sand, they are able to provide excellent adhesion to the most diverse substrates. In this way, they guarantee the quality of the final result of the application, reducing the appearance of cracks and increasing the strength of the materials.
BlokFix is the most recommended adhesive for conventional chapisco, rolled chapisco, projected chapisco, EPS chapisco, adhesive for bonding in regularizing mortar, grouting and whitewashing fixer, and can also be used on plaster putty. BlokFix CC, in turn, has the same applications as traditional BlokFix - with the difference that it is a highly concentrated product.
In addition to these products, Blok also has BlokFix Gesso to complete this line of high-performance adhesives, a fixing adhesive developed especially for application to plaster elements. Thus, it is a product suitable for use and attachment to smooth plaster, moldings, moldings and plaster artifacts in general, promoting elements with a high standard of finish and structural quality.
What are the advantages of Blok's liquid adhesives?
Blok's liquid mortar adhesive line was developed using the best technologies applied to construction, based on high-performance resins to ensure the efficiency of its application. Among the main advantages of our products, we can mention:
Economical and cost-effective product
BlokFix has a low cost per square meter and guarantees high performance for the mortar, being an additive that enhances the finish of the final result.
Low-emission liquid adhesive
Blok's liquid mortar adhesive has a low VOC (volatile organic compounds), which means that it is a product that generates few emissions of gases into the atmosphere - resulting in lower environmental impact and more safety for use and handling.
Increase in the final performance of the mortar
BlokFix helps the mortar substrates adhere, which results in elements with greater mechanical and structural strength.
Improves the integrity of the result
The adhesive provides excellent adhesion, increasing the plasticity of the mortar and preventing its shrinkage during the curing and drying process. Thus, it reduces the incidence of cracks and increases the waterproofness of the final elements, ensuring a high-quality finish.
Good integration with EPS
The BlokFix liquid adhesive also works well with styrofoam, ensuring high adhesion on mortars with the addition of EPS.
Reduction in expenses with waste of material on the construction site
By increasing the plasticity of the mortar, the liquid adhesive reduces the loss of material with splashes during application. With the reduction in waste, it is possible to make better use of resources and generate financial savings.
