Abstract
Products developed based on advanced dry mortar technology have widely been used for various applications in the construction industry in European countries. Most of the dry mix products can provide outstanding properties to meet nowadays stringent performance requirements. If used properly, they can be very cost effective building materials to minimize some potential construction problems and to ensure the long-term integrity of the structures.
However, the usage and popularity of dry mix products is still lagging behind in Hong Kong. It is urged that the property owners or designers should study their benefits and consider specifying the dry mix for their new developments and renovation works so as to improve the quality of the structures by simple materials approach.
