Description

ROCKBOND PURE ACRYLIC LATEX (RB PAL) is a specially formulated, pure acrylic polymer resin dispersed in water and combined with water reducing agents and admixtures. The latex, when added to the mix water, produces a hard polymer film, and improves the properties of hardened cementitious materials in general, and concrete repair and flooring materials in particular. The latex is supplied in 1 litre, 2 litre, 5 litre or 25 litre containers and has a shelf life of 1 year.

Special Properties

• Can be used as a sealer, primer and bond aid for concrete and other construction materials.
• Formulated for use with site batched materials.
• Improves the adhesion of cementitious repair materials to brick, stone, render and concrete.
• Increases the flexural and tensile strengths of mortars and concrete.
• Wear resistant, reduces the permeability and chemical attack of cementitious materials and enhances durability.
• Waterproof and permanent: will not break down or re-emulsify.
• Water based - mixing equipment and tools easily washed and cleaned with water.
• Economical, non flammable, non toxic, odour free, user friendly and safe to use.

Uses

• To improve the performance of site batched cementitious materials.
• For use in floor screeds and repair materials for floors and concrete.
• For use in mortars for the laying and pointing of bricks and blocks.
• For high strength or increased flexural and tensile strength applications.
• For use in cementitious screeds and concrete placed in chemically aggressive environments.
• Weatherproofing and waterproofing applications, and to prevent frost attack.
• To penetrate, consolidate, strengthen and seal brick, stone and concrete substrates.
• For use as a primer and bond aid to bond cementitious materials to other construction materials such as render, mortar, masonry, brick, stone, wood, plastic, glass and steel.
