Robert,
Google self-healing concrete. The cal helps the concrete heal cracks in the future.

Are you needing mortar mix for setting stones in a wall? That's a different product: different cement and different materials than concrete. See Cemex N, S, or M product specs:

You also mention tile work, which points to yet a different mix: pegazulejo.


Here in Yucatan, the terra-cotta style tiles are set in mixes that resemble mortar mixes.


Each of these types of cement have very different properties than the concrete used for flat-work,
