Lightweight Materials for Building Finishing

This paper focuses on the presentation of results
which were obtained as a part of the project FR-TI 3/742: “System of
Lightweight Materials for Finishing of Buildings with Waste Raw
Materials”. Attention was paid to the light weighting of polymermodified
mortars applicable as adhesives, screeds and repair mortars.
In terms of repair mortars, they were ones intended for the sanitation
of aerated concrete.
