Long Term Performance Inorganic Bonding System
History has proven, inorganic masonry veneers and pavers have life expectancies of not 15-25 years but 50-100 years and longer. e VBM-VP Installa- tion System is composed predominately of polymer modi ed inorganic mortars. ese enhanced mor- tars provide the long-term life expectancy of the masonry units being installed. We do o er organic componets to the system but they are reserved for special applications requireing elastomeric proper- ties.
Water Protection E orescence Control – Freeze/ aw durability
From top to bottom VBM-VP Installation Systems improve the water resistance of the entire masonry assembly. All VBM Bonding Mortars and Mac Joint Grouts have some e orescence reducing proper- ties. Most are highly water repellant and provide excellent e orescence reduction. e high water repellency of the bonding mortars and grouts sig- ni cantly improves the durability of the entire ma- sonry assembly.
Color Matters
e joint grout/pointing mortar color and texture have a signi cant e ect on the overall appearance of all masonry veneer and paver installations. We o er a broad selection of standard colors and unlimited special orders. e VBM-VP System includes joint grouts / pointing mortars with course masonry sand and ne silica sand. All of our products include e orescence reducing additives and most are highly water repellant. ey combine high strength, durability, and low shrinkage for a wide variety of joint sizes and conditions.

VBM Bonder exceeds ANSI 118.4* shear bond strength and freeze thaw requirements. It is suitable for installation of a wide variety of large masonry veneers and pav- ers in heavy duty environments. e tack, bond strength and impact resistance make it the prefered bonding mortar in high tra c or extra heavy duty requirements.
VBM-Poly inBrick
A polymer modi ed thin set bonding mortar with good non-sag, moderate water repellant proper- ties and high bond strengths. e polymer modi cation, bond strengths and water repellant proper- ties are lower than VBM bonder, however, it still far exceeds the shear bond strength requirements of ANSI 118.4*. It is recommended as an economical bonding mortar for thin brick and similar masonry and tile veneers.
VBM- in Set
Our most economical polymer modi ed thin set bonding mortar. e bond strengths exceed ANSI 118.4*. It has excellant non-sag properties.

R-Lastic R-Lastic is an exceptionally versatile elastomeric coating. It is used as an organic, exible bonding adhesive, waterproof coating, crack isolation membrane, and as an air barrier coating. All Poly VBM mortars bond well to R-Lastic. It is recommended for special bonding conditions such as to wood, metal, or conditions requireing a high degree of exibility – precast wall caps, wainscot etc. R-Flex Ad A highly exible, latex additive for VBM bonding mortars and Cemcoat Seal. R-Flex-Ad produces exceptionally exible mortars when used in lieu of water as the mixing liquid. A dampproof, elas- tomeric cement coatings is produced when mixed with Cemcoat Seal or VBM Bonder. R-Flex Ad is not recommended for joint grouts as it will change color. R-Acrylic Ad J-4 R-Repel Aid An integral water repellant cement additive. It is suggested for addition to concrete slabs on grade, retaining walls and ll grout for concrete block. Addition to concrete bases in paver applications will signi cantly protect the entire assembly and reduce water migration from the substrate and e orescence. Cemcoat Seal A polymer modi ed, cement based, dampproof coating for concrete and concrete block. is ce- ment coating chemically bonds to cement substrates and may be bonded to by polymer modi ed VBM mortars. It may be mixed with only water or R-FlexAd for extra exural properties and water resistance. Silox-PS2 A water based, silane-siloxane penetrating sealer for masonry veneers and pavers. It penetrates and forms a chemical bond with the inorganic masonry to provide long term protection. It has little to no e ect on the color or appearance of the masonry unit. Silox-PS2 is sold as a concentrate and is diluted on the jobsite. Silica Shield-Primers Are water bssed, inorganic silicate primers-hardners for concrete, concrete masonry, stucco color coats, cement scratch & brown coats and some natural stone. Silica Shield-Sealer A Silica Shield-Sealer A is modi ed silicate sealer that hardens and seals sand based stone and ma- sonry products. 7 |

Installation Guide
TM TM
General
e recommendations listed below are a general guide. For speci c product application and limitations see the appropiate product data sheet and speci cations related to these details. Follow all local building codes.
Choosing the right product
Choosing the right product for installing any masonry system is the rst important step for a successfull long term applica- tion. Pavers installed on a residential patio or driveway will be subject to completely di erent condtions than pavers installed on a comercial project or city street. Evaluate the conditions of the project, the masonry unit, and substrate to choose the best products for your project. e VBM-VP Installation System provides one of the broadest selections of products to meet the needs of many di erent projects
Quality Control
Always test the suitability of the products and the installa- tion techniques prior to installation. Test bonding mortars by installing the masonry unit, then remove the unit within 1 minute a er installation. e mortar should have equal contact to the substrate and to the masonry unit, 100% cov- erage. Install joint grouts using the technique and condi- tions expected on the job. Di erent tooling techniques, weather, and job conditions can dramatically alter the color and apperance. Test before, during, and a er.
Installation
Substrates – e substrate must be structurally sound and conform to good engineering practices. Substrate de ection under all live, dead and impact loads, including concen- trated loads must not exceed L/360 for thin bed installation or L/480 for thick bed stone installations, where L= span length. Installations shall be in accordance with Interna- tional Building Code, ANSI, CBC and local building codes. Movement joints shall be brought through mortar and ve- neer to the surface. All surfaces must be sound, clean, and free from any dirt, oil, paint, bond breakers, e orescence or any contaminants which may hinder bond.

Installation SUITABLE SUBSTRATES – Concrete (prepared) – Approved Cement Backer Board (prepared) – Metal (R-Lastic only) Poured in place concrete and Tilt up concrete (Prepared) — Smooth concrete must be roughened. is is best achieved by removal of the surface layer by bead blasting, grinding or equiva- lent. High pressure washing is not adequate for complete re- moval of bond breakers or release agents. Concrete block (Untreated) – May be directly adhered to or lath and plaster may be attached. Wood or steel studs – Shall receive an approved sheathing, lath and plaster. Lath and Cement Plaster – Lath and cement plaster shall con- form to IBC, CBC, ASTM guidelines and veneer manufactures requirements. Allow to cure 24 hours prior to application. We recommend one of the Mac Scratch N Brown mortars to provide a high strength, water resistant plaster substrate. Cement backer board (Prepared) – A scratch coat of VBM thin bed mortar must be used on the cement backer board. Applica- tion shall be approved by the stone or brick manufacturer. All joints must be taped with berglass (or equal) tape and VBM thin bed mortar, R-Lastic or equal. Consult cement backer board man- ufacturer for speci c installation recommendations and limita- tions. Special Bonding Conditions Primers: Silica Shield primers may be used to densify some sub- strates such as: sand stone, stucco color coats, stucco base coats, or masonry. Due to the varying nature of the substrates they should be used strictly a er extensive testing. ey may also be used for dampproo ng properties Water Barriers – Water barriers shall be as required by local building codes, and speci cations. While R-Lastic may be used as an air and water barrier in the bonding system similar to some manufactures systems, we recommend all air and water barriers be used behind the bonding system. e VBM – VP Installation System recommends the bonding system be composed of our inorganic bonding mortars except in special bonding circum- stances. Mixing – See Individual product data sheets for speci c mixing instructions. Do not over mix or over water. High air and water content will reduce strengths. Bonding – See Individual product data sheets for speci c bond- ing instructions. All bonding mortars must be rmly pressed onto the substrate and the masonry unit. 100% coverage. Joint Grouts – See Individual product guides for speci c grouting instructions. Use the same water, technique and conditions to achieve color and nish consistancy. Color can change dramati- cally under di ering conditions. 9 | |
