The Mortar Break® system has been tested and exceeds industry standards. Description: Mortar Break® is a mortar deflection device used in conjunction with standard masonry cavity walls with a 1" to 1-3/4" wide cavity. Polymer Type: Nylon 6 containing 2% by weight carbon black for ultraviolet protection. Note: Any mortar deflection device is only as good as the flashing with which it is installed. The Brick Institute of America states in its technical note #21: "It is suggested that only superior materials be selected for flashing, as its replacement in the event of failure will be exceedingly expensive." Basic Use For use at all flashing locations, such as cavity, composite, single wythe and veneer applications (see detail). The polymer core geomatrix design allows moisture to seep down through any mortar droppings and weep out of the wall through the weep holes. Mortar Break® used with properly installed flashing and weep holes along with good mortar applying techniques, will ensure the performance of a well-designed masonry wall. Composition Mortar Break® is a polymer core geomatrix composed of nylon strands woven into a .80" thick mesh. It is resistant to acid and alkali present in fresh mortar mix and is non-absorbent.
