Tom Peterson, Western Regional Manager for SPEC MIX says, “The SPEC MIX Polymer Modified Stone Veneer Mortar was carefully developed to answer the questions and solve the problems normally associated with installing thin adhered veneer. The contractor benefits because when they hang the stone, whether it’s lightweight manufactured or heavier natural thin stone, it resists sagging and makes the crew more efficient. The owners, architects and engineers especially love it because they know they have a product with high bond strength that will last for many years to come. Callbacks for stone pop-off s are essentially eliminated.” Engineered Adhered Veneer Solution SPEC MIX PMSVM, when coupled with proper design and workmanship, is specifically engineered to increase adhesion of veneer units to concrete and masonry substrates including properly prepared wood, metal stud and rigid insulation substrates. Traditional masonry mortar performance only allows for a standard mechanical bond between the stone veneer unit and substrate—not the optimal solution for a high bond, durable veneer wall system. In comparison, SPEC MIX PMSVM significantly increases the wall systems mechanical bond with an added chemical bond created by specially selected polymers that chemically react at the unit and substrate interface to create a molecular bond between the components resulting in superior adhesion.

SPEC MIX PMSVM significantly outperforms standard Type S and N mortar and is the preferred mortar for adhered stone veneer installation. SPEC MIX PMSVM requires only water to be added; there are no bonding agents to mix on the jobsite. SPEC MIX PMSVM has taken the guesswork out of mortar production and selection for adhered stone veneer installation. By blending all of the components together during the manufacturing process SPEC MIX PMSVM ensures installers, designers and project owners alike that the building is constructed with material engineered for consistent workability, high performance, and superior bond strength.
The SPEC MIX PMSVM proprietary formula is highly cohesive which makes for unparalleled workability when troweled. Its formulation also enhances the mortar’s board life which improves adhesive qualities that make it easy to apply stones to the wall substrate. By working with SPEC MIX PMSVM, installation contractors enjoy the benefits of a controlled product; increasing efficiency, resulting in extensive labor savings. SPEC MIX PMSVM contains flexibility characteristics to mitigate common building shifts, movements and deflection while protecting against shrinkage cracking. After job completion, SPEC MIX PMSVM offers optimal impact resistance to help keep stone veneer projects structurally sound.
