1.Water Reducers Water reducers are chemical compounds that reduce the amount of water needed to mix dry-mixed mortar, making it more workable. The use of water reducers improves the strength and durability of the mortar, and it also reduces shrinkage, which can cause cracking.

2.Air-Entraining Admixtures Air-entraining admixtures are used in construction dry-mixed mortar to improve its workability and durability. These admixtures produce microscopic air bubbles that create a more uniform distribution of the mortar in the mix, improving its bonding ability. Air-entraining admixtures also help to prevent cracking by improving the mortar’s freeze-thaw resistance.

3.Retarding Admixtures Retarding admixtures are used in construction dry-mixed mortar to slow down the setting time of the mortar. This allows for more time to work with the mortar and ensures a consistent finish. Retarding admixtures are commonly used in hot weather to prevent the mortar from drying out too quickly.

4.Accelerating Admixtures Accelerating admixtures are used in construction dry-mixed mortar to speed up the setting time of the mortar. This is useful in cold weather, where the mortar may take too long to set and cure. Accelerating admixtures are also useful in situations where a quick turnaround is required, such as in commercial construction.

5.Bonding Admixtures Bonding admixtures are used in construction dry-mixed mortar to improve the bond between the mortar and the substrate. These admixtures create a chemical bond between the mortar and the substrate, improving the overall strength and durability of the construction work.
