Improvement of mortars
RELATED MATERIALS
ADIPLAST Polymer latex for multiple improvements of mortars
I. NATURE OF THE PROBLEM - REQUIREMENTS
In many applications such as bonding layers between old and fresh concrete or mortar, preparation of cement screed floorings, plasters, mortars for repairs, adhesives for fixing and grouting of tiles etc., conventional mortars and concrete do not usually cover the multiple properties that are necessary in order to provide a technically efficient solution to each individual problem.
As a result, quite often the properties of mortars and concrete must be improved, in order to correspond to the demands of each application.
II. SOLUTION
By adding ADIPLAST polymer latex, which is a polymeric emulsion, to mortars and concrete, their properties are improved significantly. More specifically it provides:
Increased bonding to the substrate.
Increased flexural and compressive strength.
Improved elasticity.
Reduced shrinkage during setting, avoiding cracks which would result.
Improved plasticity, water retention, and workability of fresh mortar.
Impressive increase of abrasion hardness.
Waterproofing of concrete and cement mortars.
Increased resistance to chemical effects and petroleum products.
III. APPLICATION
The main applications for which ADIPLAST polymer latex is used are described in detail below:
Bonding layers between old and fresh concrete or mortar.
Patching mortars and thin layers.
Cement mortars for dust-free floors with abrasive resistance.
Waterproof cement mortars resistant to water under hydrostatic pressure.
High-resistance, watertight plasters.
Cement mortars with resistance to chemical effects and petroleum products.
Adhesives for insulation boards, tiles, and various types of overlays.
Improvement of lime paints (lime emulsions) in order to resist weather effects and not to wear off.
Cement mortars for grouting exposed brickwork joints.
Cement mortar for forming grooves at intersections between floors and walls.
