Introduction
One of the priorities of modern building materials science is the development of effective building materials. To regulate the technical and operating characteristics of dry mortar formulation is administered in their structure various modifying agents [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].
Most of the modifiers used in the formulation of domestic dry construction mixtures, are coming from abroad, which significantly increases the cost of dry mixes and makes production dependent on imported supplies. In this regard need to the development of domestic of production the modifiers. As the modifying agent of domestic production is proposed to use synthetic zeolites as structure-forming and water-retaining additive for dry construction mixtures.

Materials and Methods
We received amorphous silica-alumina their precipitation from the solution of aluminum sulfate of technical Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 with the addition of sodium silicate followed by washing the precipitate with water. Then, the resulting precipitate was dried.
Adhesive strength was determined by testing the samples fon stretching by tearing instrument ИР 50-57 with traverse moving speed 35 mk/c. Plastic strength or yield stress of the mixture was determined by plastometer KP-3. Plastic strength determined by the formula:

Research Results
Additive based on amorphous silica-alumina is a powder of white color with a high specific surface component S sp =68.6 m 2 /g. Microstructure and chemical composition of the amorphous aluminosilicate examined via analytical scanning electron microscopy ( Figure 1 and Table 1).
It was found that the microstructure of the synthetic additives is characterized by particles of round shape, dimensions 5,208-5,704 μm, but the particles are present also oblong form, size 7.13-8.56 μm.
Analyzing the data in Table 1 revealed that predominate chemical elements O, Si, Na, S, and Al in chemical composition amorphous aluminosilicates-containing 60.69%, 31.26%, 24.23%, 18.69% and 8.29% respectively. The preponderance of this element has a positive The effect of amorphous aluminosilicate was investigated to modify the rheological properties of cement-sand mortar. For research we used Wolski portlandcement M400, and sand deposits of Ukhta in the ratio 1:2. In Figure 2 given results of these studies are presented.
Analysis Figure 2 showed that the introduction in the cementsand mortar the additive based on amorphous aluminosilicate leads to higher values of plastic strength aged 20 min after curing compared to the control sample is 1.9-4.7 times (depending on the content the additives). Thus, the sample aged for 20 minutes from the beginning of solidification has strength was 0.0061 MPa, while the sample with using of amorphous aluminosilicate (20% by weight of cement) -0.023 MPa.
It is obvious that, when introduced into the formulation of cementsand mortar additives based on amorphous aluminosilicate period of hardening cement-sand mortar reduced, that is, the admixture has a water-holding capacity.
On the basis of mathematical research and experimental design [20] constitute the model of cement stone strength. The factors affecting the change in strength of cement paste were investigated size of the specific surface additives (x 1 ), the percentage of synthetic additives (x 2 ) and the percentage of plasticizer Kratasol PFM (x 3 ). After the analysis of the experimental data and the exclusion of insignificant coefficients of the regression equation, the model of cement stone strength expressed by the formula: Physical and mechanical properties of tile adhesive (includes the M400 Portland cement, sand fractions (mm) 0.63-0.315: 0.315-0.16 in a ratio of (%) 80: 20, amorphous aluminosilicates, plasticizer Kratasol PFM and redispersible powder Neolith P 4400) are given in the Table 2.

Conclusion
Determined, that the use of a binder with additive amorphous aluminosilicate leads to higher values the plastic strength in early and late periods hardening. The given model of cement stone strength in the presence of synthetic additives and plasticizer Kratasol PFM proved the efficiency of the use of amorphous aluminosilicate as a modifying additive. This modifying additives a structure formation and improves the physical and mechanical properties of tile adhesive.
