Pulverulent mortar composition having improved adhesion
Pulverulent mortar composition comprising a mineral binder, an inert material in the form of aggregate capable of being agglomerated in aqueous phase by means of said binder, and 0.2 to 1% of a fluid additive comprising 25 to 100% of a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon compound (i) which is liquid at room temperature and which includes one or more —COO— ester groups, the total weight of which, relative to the molar mass of said compound, is between 20 and 50%. Use for preparing an adhesive mortar for fixing ceramic tiles.
