To revive the vibrancy of property during the pandemic, the government has launched several programs. Starting from tax exemptions to reducing the Bank Indonesia BI7DRR interest rate by 3.75 percent. This policy proved successful not only in revitalizing the property buying and selling sector, but also building materials. One of the building materials that is projected to grow during the pandemic is instant cement or cement mortar.

Quoted from Propertiterkini.com, the people of Indonesia began to recognize and use cement mortar in 1996. In contrast to several developed countries, which have become accustomed to and have experienced more benefits from using cement mortar. The demand for cement mortar in Indonesia is increasing every year. Since last year, market demand for mortar cement is predicted to increase by 10 percent.

The increasing demand for cement mortar cannot be separated from the several advantages of this material compared to ordinary cement. Team Support PT. Jayabrix Indonesia, one of the well-known cement mortar manufacturers, said that one of the advantages of cement mortar lies in its practicality.

"Because the use of cement mortar is enough just to mix it with water according to the dosage. Until it becomes a dough that is ready to be applied," said Naryo, Thursday (25/11/2021).

The secret of the practicality of using cement mortar lies in its precise composition. In one pack of cement mortar consists of cement, sand and adhesive. All of these elements are combined with the right dosage as a result of in-depth research.

"Because the composition is correct, there is no need to bother thinking about the measure between cement and sand. The results are also more optimal than measuring manually as when using ordinary cement," he said.

With this practicality, the process can be faster and scalable. Of course, this can save expenses in terms of the builder's budget. In addition, there is no wasted material. Its spreading power is also considered to be wider than that of conventional cement

Especially when applied to light bricks. The use of cement mortar to glue lightweight bricks with a thickness of only 3 mm is sufficient. However, the adhesive results are not in doubt.

"What needs to be considered is to use cement mortar according to its designation. This is because there are several types of cement mortar. For example, cement mortar for bonding lightweight bricks is different from that used for plastering walls. In terms of composition, it is indeed different,

Seeing the practicality and superiority of cement mortar, it's not surprising that people's demand for this material is increasing. Not only for residential, but also widely used for the construction of office buildings.
