POLEPOX-CA 1000
POLEPOX-CA 1000 is a single component, acrylic polymer based emulsion, designed as an admixture for cementitious mortars and screeds and as a bonding and curing agent for concrete and patch repairs.
FEATURES
- Improves bond, flexural and tensile strength of cementitious mixes.
- Reduces the permeability of mortar.
- High strength repair and patching mortar.
- Single component, easy to apply.
- Suitable for internal and external application for bonding new concrete to old concrete.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Surface Preparation: Surface to which POLEPOX-CA 1000 mixes are to be applied should be clean, sound and free of loosely adhering material. Remove all laitance, oil, grease, mould oil or curing compound from concrete surface using wire brush, bush hammer or by blasting. Ensure that reinforcing steel is clean and free from scale and rust. When repairing damaged concrete, ensure that the concrete has been cut back to thoroughly sound substrate. Wet down absorbent surfaces, such as concrete, brick, stone, ensuring that they are fully saturated but free of surface water.
- Bonding Slurry Preparation: Prepare a bonding slurry of 1 to 2 parts cement to 1 part of POLEPOX-CA 1000 mixed to a lump-free creamy consistency. Using a stiff brush, work the bonding slurry well into the damp surface, ensuring that there are no pinholes. Do not apply bonding slurry at a thickness in excess of 2mm. If a second coat is necessary, it must be applied at right angles to the first coat to ensure complete coverage. The mixed bonding slurry should be applied at 1-2 kg/m2. For bonding of patch repairs using Polycrete repair mortars apply undiluted at 5 to 6 m2/L.
- Mixing Procedure: Mixing should be carried out in an efficient concrete mixer. Charge the mixer with required quantity of sand and cement and premix for approximately one minute. Pour the required quantity of POLEPOX-CA 1000 and mix for two minutes only to avoid excessive air entrainment. Add the water slowly until the required consistency is achieved. Avoid adding excessive water.
APPLICATION NOTES / RESTRICTIONS
- Standard dose is 5-8L per 50 kg of cement used.
- For more demanding situations, and greater exposure to aggressive environment 15L per 50 kg of cement is recommended.
- Store in a cool, dry place and keep away from all sources of heat and sunlight. In tropical climates, store in air conditioned rooms. Excessive exposure to sunlight, humidity and UV will result in the deterioration of the quality of the product and reduce its shelf life.
