POLEPOX-CA 2000 SBR
POLEPOX-CA 2000 is a Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) co-polymer based product which is used in mortar and concrete as an admixture and bonding agent to increase its water resistance and durability. It is an SBR based bonding agent and admixture.
FEATURES
- Can be applied in thin screed without cracking.
- Reduces the water/cement ratio.
- Easy to use.
- Compatible with all types of cements.
- Reduces shrinkage.
- Excellent adhesion to most building materials.
- Good resistance to salt permeation.
- Prolonged corrosion protection.
- Similar thermal expansion and modulus properties like concrete.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
- Bonding: For bonding of new to old concrete, tile bedding and fixing of slip bricks.
- Waterproofing Internally: Basements, swimming pools, potable water tanks, sludge tanks & ducts, tunnels and underpasses.
- Waterproofing Externally: Structures above ground.
- Waterproofing Suspended Floors: Patios, walkways, balconies, wet areas, plant rooms.
- Repair: Repair of concrete.
- Admixture: As an admixture for cementitious systems and tile adhesives/grouts. Improves durability and water resistance.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Surface Preparation: Surface to which POLEPOX-CA 2000 mixes are to be applied shall be clean, sound and free of all loose particles. Remove all laitance, oil & grease, mould oil, and curing compound from surface. Ensure that the exposed 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 material.
APPLICATION NOTES / RESTRICTIONS
- Minimum dosage of 10 L per 50 kg of cement is recommended. For more demanding situations, 15 L per 50 kg of cement is recommended.
- Mixing should be carried out in an efficient concrete mixer; where available a pan type mixer is recommended. Pour the required quantity of sand and cement and premix for approximately one minute. Pour the required quantity of POLEPOX-CA 2000 and mix for two minutes. Add the water slowly until the required consistency is achieved. Avoid adding excessive water which will result in segregation and bleeding.
- As soon as the POLEPOX-CA 2000 modified mortar and screed achieves its final set, adequate curing shall be carried out. Water sprinkling, ponding or the use of a non-degradable type of curing compound may be used.
- Storage: 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.
