Latex-Based Bonding Agent and Mortar Admixture – LATEX 100

APPLICATION AREAS

DryFiX LATEX 100 is suitable for use in cement-based mortars and concrete applications where improved adhesion, flexibility and water resistance are required.

Typical applications include:

• Concrete repair mortars and patching applications.
• Cement-based renders and plasters.
• Floor screeds and cementitious floor toppings.
• Tile fixing mortars and ceramic tile applications.
• Bonding slurries and bonding coats.
• Construction joints and cold joints.
• Cementitious waterproofing systems.
• Cement-based mortars requiring improved adhesion and flexibility.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Improved Adhesion: Enhances the bond strength of cementitious mortars to concrete and other suitable substrates.
• Increased Water Resistance: Reduces the permeability of cement-based mortars and improves their resistance to water penetration.
• Enhanced Flexibility: Improves the flexibility of cementitious mixes and helps reduce shrinkage cracking.
• Improved Abrasion Resistance: Increases the abrasion resistance of mortar and screed applications.
• Reduced Surface Dusting: Helps minimise surface dusting in cement-based screeds.
• Improved Workability: Plasticises cementitious mortars, providing a smoother consistency and easier application.
• Enhanced Durability: Improves the overall performance and durability of modified cementitious mortars.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

The substrate must be sound, clean and free from dust, oil, grease, loose particles and other contaminants that may adversely affect adhesion. Dry substrates should be thoroughly dampened with clean water before application. Remove any standing water before applying the product.

Preparation of Bonding Mortar

For the preparation of bonding mortar, mix 1 part cement with 2 parts sand. Add DryFiX LATEX 100 and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous, workable consistency is achieved.

Use as a Concrete and Mortar Admixture

Add DryFiX LATEX 100 at a dosage of 5–20% by weight of cement, depending on the application requirements and desired performance.
