Product Description
MAVS 2000 is a premium, polymer-modified, factory blended mortar specifically designed for bonding thin natural and manufactured adhered veneers, lightweight precast, most tile, and thin brick. The mortar is a mixture of portland cement, dried polymers, fine sand, and other proprietary additives that give MAVS 2000 excellent workability and sag resistance with greater efflorescence resistance and bond strength than standard Type S mortars. MAVS 2000’s advanced technology improves adhesion and is an excellent option for more challenging masonry applications, such as stacked stone and large/heavy veneers.
