Description
The name mastic has generically been used for strong paste-like adhesives. Some mixtures are as follows:
1) Oil-mastic is a workable plaster that is used as a waterproof mortar and cement. As early as the 16th century, a cement called mastic was composed of lime and sand combined with litharge and linseed oil. This quick-drying oil-based mastic was used to set tesserae on mosaics (Mayer 1969).
2) Asphalt-mastic is a durable, weatherproof cement made from sand, or limestone mixed with asphalt and tar. Natural rubber, SBR, or PVC is added as a tackifier. This black, weather resistant cement is used in highway construction, roofing and roll type floor coverings.
3) Synthetic resin-mastic is a plastic puttylike mixture that is used as a sealant and adhesive. Currently most mastic cements are used for installing windows as well as for laying floor and wall tiles.
