What is masonry mortar?

Masonry cement is basically normal Portland cement with added ingredients to provide the plasticity required for masonry work. Masonry cements are pre-packaged primarily as either Type N Masonry Cement or Type S Masonry Cement. Other types are available for specific circumstances. Type N Masonry mortar is recommended for general use in building non-load bearing walls as well as for exterior veneer walls not requiring high strength. Type S Masonry mortar is recommended for use in all masonry below grade as well as in building exterior load bearing walls requiring high strength. DO NOT use masonry cement for concrete jobs

What is the difference between type s and type n mortar?

S contains 2 parts portland cement, 1 part hydrated lime and 9 parts sand, and yields maximum flexural strength to fight wind, soil pressure or earthquakes. Type N is a medium compressive-strength mortar made of 1 part portland cement, 1 part lime and 6 parts sand. Type N is recommended for most exterior, above-grade walls exposed to severe weather, including chimneys. Type S mortar is recommended for AT grade or below grade exterior applications. Type N is recommended for above grade apps.
