It takes longer for mortar to bind rather than cement. Think of cooking a roast at 150 degrees (mortar) rather than cement 220 degrees,

On 150 degrees the roast will cook slowly and beautifully as opposed to cement at 220 chance of burning the outside before the inside cooks.

Cement used for ceramic floor tiles?

Ceramic floor tiles need an acrylic fortified thinset. The acrylic can be added as a liquid or can be already in the mix. There are premixed thinsets available on the market. These are not preferable since they are often not as strong. _________________________________________________________________________________ The cement used for fixing ceramic tiles is white cement or ordinary portland cement. The white cement gives better bonding than the ordinary cement. The use of white cement will not be economical when compared to ordinary cement.


Why is sandy soil better than clay soil for under cement slabs?

Sandy soil is better than clay soil for under cement slabs because it is more stable and allows for better drainage. Sandy soil has good compaction properties, which makes it less likely to shift and settle over time, providing a more stable base for the cement slab. Clay soil, on the other hand, is prone to shrinking and expanding with changes in moisture levels, which can lead to cracks and damage in the cement slab.
