Silico Bond High Quality Polymer Mortar

silicobond is a modified polymer emulsion specifically designed for cement based applications

advantages:

• excellent bonding: the bonding strength between old concrete & fresh mortar will be distinctively improved. excellent adhesion to concrete, masonry, brick, wood, metals etc.


• higher strengths:flexural & impact strength is increased compared to the unmodified mix lower.


• permeability:water absorptions is reduced, therefore providing excellent water proofing capabilities.


• better resistance: increases resistance to industrial chemicals. uv light and heat as well as improved abrasion resistance.


• lower shrinkage:modified mortar is plasticised considerably. mortars with low water, cement ratio can be achieved without affecting workability and therefore.


• enhanced curing: the modified mortar has better water retention capability and holds the mix water in mortar for enhanced curing.


• improves surface hardening: limits wear & dust production of concrete.


• safe to use:being water-based it is eco-friendly in nature & is easy to handle.

uses:

• bonding coat:as a bonding coat between old concrete & new mortar/concrete.


• passivating coat:anti corrosive /passivative treatment to reinforcement and concrete surface.


• concrete repair & adhesive mortar by polymer modified mortar: for repairing spalled concrete floors, beams, columns, slabs, foundations.


• wear resistant mortars for floors: abrasion resistant, crack resistant polymer mortars on industrial


• repairing floors & stairs: as a patch-up polymer mortar for filling up voids, loose pockets, spalled edges etc.


• crack sealing: can be used as a crack filling compound by mixing with cement and cement injection mixing for grouting purposes.


• renderings & coatings: cement based renderings especially in tanks, water treatment plants, etc. for improving the water impermeability also for renderings on foundation.

application guidelines:

• surface preparation: the concrete surfaces and the reinforcing steel should be clean,free from dust,dirt,loose particles, grease oil etc. when repairing, the base concrete must be sound and firm.


• preparation of bonding coat: the prepared bases, such as concrete, bricks, stones etc. should coat consisting of one part silicobond to two part portland cement, mixed homogenously.


• preparation of polymer modified mortar: to prepare silicobond modified cement mortar, premix thoroughly solid components viz, portland cement, sand in required proposition pour silicobond at a ratio of 20% of cement weight with required quantity of water to mixture, and mix thoroughly for about 3 to 4 minutes. finally add the water little by little, until the required consistency achieved.
