SIKA SBR

Superior performance SBR based multipurpose polymer for waterproofing, repair and bonding

  • description

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.

USES

SikaLatex SBR is used as bonding agent, waterproof coating and site-mix mortar admixture for the following applications: 

  • Bonding of rendering and coating layers 
  • Bonding between successive concrete casts
  • Cement grouting and screeds
  • Polymer modified repair mortars
  • Masonry mortars
  • Renders  Tile fixing and panelling 
  • Waterproof plastering
  • Waterproofing of roof slabs, sunken slabs, basements, retaining walls, water tanks, sunshades etc
  • Treatment for leaching and saltpetre action

CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES 

  • Multipurpose 5-in-1 application 
  • Makes the mortar waterproof
  • Improves resistance to salt permeation Improves toughness and flexibility and reduces cracking
  • Good adhesion to substrates like concrete, stone, brick etc. 
  • Reduces viscosity of cement injection grout and improves bond of cured injected materials with substrates 
  • Dilute with water up to 6 times depending on the type of application 
  • Reduces surface dusting of concrete 
  • Improves chemical resistance of concrete 
  • Improves frost resistance 
  • Good resistance to water and water vapour Reduces water cement ratio for equivalent workability 
  • Mixes may be applied in much thinner sections
