SikaLatex®

Sika® Latex is a synthetic rubber emulsion which when added to cement mortar/concrete/grout provides good adhesion and water resistance. It comes in the form of a milky liquid. It is fully soluble in water and is to be added directly to the gauging water of mortar/concrete/cementitious grout.

Sika® Latex improves the following properties:

  • Adhesion to most substrates (concrete, stone, brick, ferrous metals, glass, ceramic tiles)
  • Improves elasticity, flexibility and tensile strength
  • Easy to use, non-toxic & plasticising mortar
  • Inhibits cracking, improves surface hardening, limits wear and dust production
  • Makes the mortar waterproof and reduces susceptability to acids and greases
  • Mortar with Sika® Latex shows extremely good bonding to bases like concrete,stone, brick, etc.
  • Reduces viscosity of cement injection grout and improves bond of cured injected materials with substrates

Usage

Sika® Latex is a high quality emulsion that substantially increases the qualities of cement mortar/concrete/cementitious grout. The scope of application are as follows:

Rendering and Coatings:

  • Bonds rendering and coating layers
  • Makes waterproof coating for tanks & pools for either fresh or sea water
  • Ensures high wear resistance against erosion

Jointing:

  • Long life and watertight masonry joints

Concrete Repair & Adhesive Mortar:

  • Repair of spalling even on prestressed or reinforced concrete

Roof Finishing Adhesion and Hardener for Plaster Work:

  • Bonding for plaster works by bond-coat

Bonding of Concrete Casts:

  • Bonding between successive concrete casts by incorporating Sika® Latex into bonding mortar

Tiling:

  • Used in bonding mortar for tiles & panellings

Waterproof Rendering & Cement Injection Mix:

  • Wet rendering of walls for weather proofing
  • Injection into cracks or porous concrete works
