Abstract
Mortar composition made of ingredients including an Arabic Gum, a sand, and water, which when cured may provide a composition having properties including microcracks from 20 to 500 nm wide and 0.1 to 500 μm long, and granules that are bundles of 20 to 1000 microfilaments in the form of cylinders. The mortar composition may combine a useful combination of one or more features selected from initial setting time, mortar flow, compressive strength when cured, flexural strength when cured and volume of permeable voids.

A method of forming a cured mortar, comprising:
- applying a mortar composition onto a substrate,
- curing the mortar composition to form the cured mortar, wherein the cured mortar has a compressive strength after 56 days of curing of at least 52.5 MPa;
- wherein the mortar composition comprises an ordinary Portland cement, an Arabic Gum in the amount of 0.75% by weight of the ordinary Portland cement, a sand in the amount of from 125% to 175% by weight of the ordinary Portland cement, and water in the amount of from 30% to 50% by weight of the ordinary Portland cement;
- wherein the mortar composition comprises calcium (Ca) and silicon (Si), present in a Ca:Si molar ratio of 6.
