High elasticity.
High abrasion resistance.
Improves water and chemical resistance.

Application Procedure

Preparation of Substrate

The application surface must be durable, dry, clean and clean off materials which prevent bonding, such as dust, oil, rust and remove loose pieces. Water leak on the surface must be drained or sealed by a suitable stopper. Application surface must be damp 12 hours before the application, but there must not be any free water left on the surface.

Application Method

In plaster mortar; 1 m³ washed river sand and 350 kg cement is mixed together. 120 kg water and 5 kg LATEX is mixed into another cup. Liquid mixture is poured into the powder mixture and stirred well until homogenous mixture is obtained. Mixture should be applied by trowel.

Making of grout; 1 m³ washed river sand and 350 kg cement is mixed together. 110 kg water and 4 kg LATEX is mixed into another cup. Liquid mixture is poured into the powder mixture and stirred well until homogenous mixture is obtained. Mixture is applied on primed surface.

In coating mortar; 1 m³ aggregate, 250 kg cement and 3 kg LATEX is mixed and added water until getting thick mixture. Mixture and floor laying is applied together.

In shake mortar; 1 m³ washed river sand, 350 kg cement and 10 kg LATEX is mixed and added water until getting thick mixture. Mixture is applied with strewing equipment. 24 hours later surface is ready for pedestrian traffic. Full curing is done after 28 days.

As bonding agent; Stir LATEX well and apply using brush, roller or spray on prepared surface. Subsequent material to be bonded should be placed while LATEX is wet.
