Easy-Spred was first used in 1960 and, to this day, has a successful history of use in masonry, exterior plastering and grout. It has been used on projects ranging from stadiums, prisons, and schools to single family homes and apartments. Easy-Spred has been proven in every type of climate covering the Northeast, Southeast, Sunbelt and West.
As a code recognized lime replacement and as a performance admixture. Easy-Spred enhances the workability of mortar while improving board-life. For example: In hot weather or when used with a high IRA brick, Easy-Spred® will greatly improve the performance of the mortar. Easy-Spred will also help produce a mortar that offers high compressive and bond strength, reduced efflorescence, reduced drying shrinkage, reduced segregation and cost savings.

Easy-Spred helps reduce cracks associated with drying shrinkage, reduces wash outs and corners without falling off. Easy-Spred makes the plaster more cohesive and creates more consistency in set time. And because of its colloidal properties, Easy-Spred will help achieve greater color consistency while reducing unwanted mottling and streaking. The fat and cream that Easy-Spred produces in plaster will reduce trowel burn in finish coats and improve production.
Learn MoreTo dramatically improve the pumpability and workability while maintaining a consistent set time. Easy-Spred® is perhaps the best pump aid in the industry and because of its creaminess and water retention, it facilitates the finishing of all aggregate types. And because of Easy-Spred®’s colloidal properties, it enhances pigments while reducing unwanted mottling and streaking. Easy-Spred® will help cement hydrate more evenly and consistently improving the durability and hardened properties of the pool finish.
Learn MoreIn both sand and pea gravel grouts, Easy-Spred is used as an admixture at an addition rate of approximately 2% by weight of the cement to achieve improved field characteristics. Easy-Spred has colloidal properties when hydrated and takes on approximately seven times its volume in water. This colloidal gel knits the aggregate and cement into a homogenous mixture, which will not segregate. The gel also serves as a lubricant, that allows the material to be placed manually or pumped without segregation.
