Abstract:

Polish inventor developed the mortar, which is based on completely new kind of material unknown to the market and without any counterpart. Its perfect adhesion, plasticity and cohesion enable to use the mortar on the wide range of groundings. The author of technology is interested in collaboration with construction companies through joint venture, manufacturing agreement, commercial agreement with technical assistance or co-financing of production.

Description:

The universal mortar is a semi-finished product made from sand, water and some modifying agents, which - after adding cement to the mortar - are responsible for its new qualities referring to adhesion, plasticity, cohesion, and after its hardening:
-increased tensile strength
-increased mortar elongation
-increased adhesion to steel
-increased shock resistance
-improved chemical resistance and fastness to exposure (e.g. frost)
It is required to add cement to the mortar (the grade of the mortar depends on the amount of the cement) and then it can be put on walls and floors (outside and inside) as well as on protective facing. Due to the excellent adhesion of the mortar (the thickness of which starts from 1 mm), it is very easy to lay it fresh.
Using different grounding (3 sorts) the mortar can be put on the following bases:
mineral (concrete, brickwork, plaster, ceramic, etc.); building timber, laminated wood, glued wood (even painted); foamed polystyrene, mineral wood (hard); gypsum plaster; gypsum subsoil; metal; glass; cardboard; straw; textile.

Innovative Aspects:
- mortar can be modified with agents obtained out of waste materials
- technology enables to join various materials (see Abstract) together using the mortar of different thickness
- floating of the mortar is the same as in case of cement-lime mortar

Main Advantages:
- wide range of materials which can be coated by the mortar
- very easy laying of the mortar (can be performed even by an unskilled person)
- technology enables to fix small and very shallow holes in plaster, floors, facades, what can be exploited while building, repairing or redecorating

Comments
The inventor of the technology is interested in collaboration with construction companies, particularly manufacturers of building materials and related service firms. They could implement described technology in their production process with technical assistance provided by inventor. Other way of possible cooperation is co-financing by partner starting-up of mortar production.
