BASIC USE:

Federal White Masonry Cement Type N and S can be used to match, contrast, and compliment the colors of various masonry units, enhance the aesthetic color of a wall or coordinate other colors in a design.

Federal White Masonry Cement
may be used for any masonry application where a white or a very light colored masonry joint is desired. Pure white masonry mortar is obtained with the use of a clean white sand. The use of local mason sands will produce a mortar color related to the color of the sand.

Federal White Masonry Cement
, when proportioned with white sand, may be used with brick, cast stone, tile, pavers, concrete and glass block or for stucco applications.

Federal White Masonry Cement may be used to satisfy low alkali requirements.
