Description:

A synthetic rubber emulsion for adding to cement mortars where good adhesion and water resistance are required.

Uses :

Superbond Latex is a high quality emulsion that substantially increases the quantity of cement mortars, such as :

• Thin layer patching mortars
• Renders
• Floor screeds
• concrete repair mortars
• Abrasion-resistant linings
• Tile fixing mortars
• Masonry mortars

Advantage :

Superbond Latex provides the following beneficial properties to mortar:

• Extremely good adhesion
• Reduced shrinkage
• Greater elasticity
• Excellent water resistance
• Increased abrasion resistance
• Improved chemical resistance
• Non-toxic
•  N.B. Superbond Latex does not re-emulsify, even in highalkaline conditions

Technical Data Type:

Acrylic Polymer Butadiene Rubber

Color:

White

Specific Gravity:

1.02kg/l

Storage Condition:

Free from frost

Shelf Life :

1year when unopened

Packaging:

• 5 L gallon
• 20 L pails

Instructions for Use Surface preparation:

Concrete surfaces should be clean, sound and free from oilgrease, cement laitance and all loosely adhering particles. Absorbent surfaces should be saturated thoroughly but no ponding

Materials:

Aggregates should be well graded and thoroughly washed,Sand particle size should correspond to the thickness of mortar to be applied and required surface finish.

Up to2mmthick           0 – 0.5 mm
2 -5 mm                        0 -1.0 mm
5 -15mm                       0 – 3.0 mm
over15 mm                  0 – 6.0 mm

Dilution Rates:

Superbond Latex is generally added to the clean mixing water within the range 1:1 – 1:4 For all applications apart from sprayed on renders a bonding coat of Superbond Latex – water 1:1 mixed with fresh cement should be brushed into the SUPERBOND prepared surface. Subsequently morta application must be carried out whilst the bonding coat
is still wet.

Use and Application:

1. Bonding coat for rendering/Bonding between old and new concrete.
Coverage Consumption of Superbond Latex in kg/m 2 per cm. thickness
Superbond Latex              0.21 ltr.
Water                                  0.21 ltr.
Cement                               0.89 kg.
Sand (< 0.5 mm.)              0.75 kg.

Note:  Solutionsi ablend of Superbond Latex and water.

Solution:                   Superbond Latex : water = 1:1 (by volume)
Dry mix:                    Cement: Fine sand = 1:1 fo cement only (by volume)
Application:             Add the dry sand and cement mixture to the Latex
Water solution and mix until as even creamy consistency is
achieved. Apply the Latex Slurry to the prewetted substrate
in 1-2 mm thickness and place new concrete or mortar
rendeimmediately

2. Repair Mortar
Solution:                      Superbond Latex : Water = 1:1 (by volume)
(for coat under10 mm.)
Superbond Latex : Water = 1:2 (by volume)
(for coat above 10 mm.)
Dry mix :                       Cement : Sand vary from 1:1 to 1:3 (by volume)
Granular size :             Fine or coarse and depend on layer thickness
Consumption :            0.7 – 2.3 kg/m per cm thickness
3. Floor Screeds, Intermediate coat for water resistant
Solution :                     Superbond Latex : Water = 1:1 to 1:3 (by Volume)
depend on wearing resistance requirement
Dry mix :                       Cement : Sand = 1:2 to 1:3 (by volume)
Granular size :             Coarse and (0-max.6 mm.) according coat
thickness
Consumption               0.4 – 1.9 kg/m per cm thickness
Note :                            For other application ie. Other ratio of solution and Dry   mix consumption of Superbond Latex can be drawn    from the table given.

Important Recommendation :

1. never use Superbond Latex and water as a bonding coat without adding cement (and fine sand).
2. Proper curing method is needed
3. Always prewet the absorbent substrate but no ponding
4. Multi-lay work always wet on wet

Cleaning :

Clean all tools and equipment with clean water immediately after use
