About SikaLatex SBR - SBR Based Bonding, Repair and Waterproofing Polymer
91 000 74051 SikaLatex SBR is a superior modified styrene butadiene emulsion to be mixed with cement slurry, cement mortar, concrete or cementitious grout for improved adhesion and water resistance properties. It is fully soluble in water and is added directly to the gauging water of slurry, mortar, concrete or grout.
Superior Bonding and Waterproofing PerformanceSikaLatex SBR stands out for its ability to markedly enhance bond strength between concrete layers and substrates. This polymer reduces water permeability in mortar mixes, offering reliable waterproofing for structures such as bathrooms, terraces, and water tanks. Its flexibility and chemical resistance make it an excellent choice for both internal and external repairs and new builds in demanding environments.
Flexible Applications and Easy HandlingSuitable as an admixture for repair mortars, bonding slurries, plastering, patching, and screed modifications, SikaLatex SBR is compatible with all standard cements and can be used in a variety of packaging sizes to suit both small- and large-scale projects. With a shelf life of at least 12 months and easy storage in cool, dry conditions, it ensures flexibility and convenience for contractors and builders alike.
FAQ's of SikaLatex SBR - SBR Based Bonding, Repair and Waterproofing Polymer:
Q: How do I use SikaLatex SBR in waterproofing applications?
A: To use SikaLatex SBR for waterproofing, add it to cement at a recommended dosage of 10-20% by weight, following guidance from the technical datasheet. Mix thoroughly to create a slurry or repair mortar for application on clean, damp, but not waterlogged, surfaces.
Q: What are the benefits of adding SikaLatex SBR to cement mortars and plasters?
A: Adding SikaLatex SBR improves bond strength, reduces permeability, and enhances resistance to chemicals and weathering. It also increases flexibility, minimizing the risk of cracks and ensuring durable, longer-lasting repairs or finishes.
Q: When should I apply SikaLatex SBR for best results?
A: SikaLatex SBR should be used during the mixing stage of mortars, screeds, or slurries, prior to application. For optimal results, ensure surfaces are clean and the product is thoroughly blended per the product datasheet.
Q: Where should SikaLatex SBR be stored to maintain its quality?
A: Store SikaLatex SBR in unopened original containers, in a cool, dry place protected from frost and direct sunlight. Proper storage extends its shelf life to a minimum of 12 months.
Q: Is SikaLatex SBR toxic or hazardous during typical use?
A: No, SikaLatex SBR is non-hazardous and non-toxic under normal conditions. It features very low VOC content and does not contain chlorides, making it safe for industrial and construction application.
Q: What packaging sizes are available for SikaLatex SBR?
A: SikaLatex SBR is available in a range of container sizes including 500ml, 1L, 5L, 10L, 20L, 50L, and 200L, allowing users to select the right volume for projects of any size.
Q: Is SikaLatex SBR compatible with all types of cement?
A: Yes, SikaLatex SBR is compatible with Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC), and composite cements, making it suitable for a wide range of construction and repair applications.
