Due to the physical differences and the methods of manufacture between concrete masonry units and mortar DRY-BLOCK Block and Mortar Admixtures cannot be used interchangeably. DRY-BLOCK Block Admixture contains special plasticizers to improve the machinability of CMU while DRY-BLOCK Mortar Admixture contains additives to improve the workability of the mortar and increase the bond between the mortar and the CMU.
