Nitobond SBR latex is primarily used as a bonding aid and polymer modifier in construction applications, particularly for cementitious materials. It improves the mechanical properties of these materials, enhances bonding, and provides better durability and resilience. Specific uses include:
- Bonding aid: For improving the bond between old and new concrete, mortar, and other cementitious materials.
- Polymer modifier: To enhance the flexural strength, impact resistance, and abrasion resistance of cementitious mixes.
- Waterproofing: As a component in waterproof renders and plasters.
- Concrete repair: For repairing spalled concrete, worn areas, and large cracks.
- Floor toppings and screeds: To modify and improve the properties of these materials, according to Fosroc.
- Mortar and slurry mixes: As an additive to improve bonding and durability in various applications.
- Tile adhesives: To enhance the bond strength, flexibility, and water resistance of tile adhesives.
Advantages Simple to use - Single component, gauged as required. High - Provides excellent bond to concrete, adhesion plaster, masonry, stone work, etc. Improves -Gives weather resistant mortar with improved durability impermeability to chlorides and other harmful agents. Reduces - Provides waterproof screeds, plasters and Permeability slurries. Increases - Improved tensile and fl exural properties strength allow thin applications. Versatile - Compatible with all common hydraulic cements. Cost eff ective - Nitobond SBR (Latex) is economical to use
