Hi Tom,

The above link is the data sheet for El Rey’s  Fiber 47.

This isn’t exactly what I had in mind, but thank you for the information.

To answer your question, I've used a product called Fiber 47 to make a papercrete mortar.  The Fiber 47 contains lime and portland but is an El Rey trade secret so I can't tell you what else is in it and in what proportions.   Instead of sand, perlite was used.  It was a fairly rich mix (2parts paper, 2 perlite, and 1 fiber 47)

The mortar was very strong, lightweight and bonds well to the blocks.  The only downside is that the Fiber 47 is somewhat costlier than portland and may be hard to find in some areas.

Hope this helps.
