As cost of application goes up, the ability to get the job done faster and better become more and more important. This is where people turn to machine applied mortars. Here, mortars are applied through a pumping system to lay down a layer onto the surface to be covered. Such systems are now being used for skim coats, renders and EIF mortars.
In spray (machine applied) applications, the mortar must be thixotropic (shear thinning) enough to be pumped out of the nozzle but must also thicken almost instantaneously upon leaving the nozzle to minimise bounce back and form an inter-particle network structure that will not sag. The applied layer must also be easy to work with (workability) and have good smoothening properties and support water retention that is vital for complete hydration of the cement to build strength.
