Sika Latex R per 5 Gallon Pail

SikaLatex R is an acrylic-polymer latex that is not re-emulsifiable. It is a general purpose admixture which will produce polymer-modified concrete and mortar, and is also a bonding grout when mixed with sand and portland cement.

• Concrete/Mortar/Grout/etc. containing SikaLatex R exhibits improved adhesion to pre-pared substrates
• Increased adhesive strength of mortar/concrete when used as a bonding grout
• Increased resistance to freeze/thaw durability
• Does not produce a vapor barrier

Application

• Admixture (replacing water) used in cement based products to improve adhesion, achieve a denser surface, and improve overall performance
• As a bonding grout (prime coat) when mixed with sand and portland cement

Mixing

As a mixture/mixing solution: With mixer running, add materials in the following order: SikaLatex R solution and then the cement based product. Replace the amount of water recommended by the product. Do not dilute with water.

As a bonding grout: With the mixer running, add in the following order. SikaLatex R solution, aggregate, cement. The ratio is 1 part cement, 2 parts sand, and a sufficient amount of undiluted SikaLatex R to produce a creamy paint consistency. Maximum 4 gal./sack of cement (15L/sack of cement).

As a primer for acrylic coatings: No dilution is required. Use as is.
