Sika Latex is a synthetic rubber emulsion which when added to cement mortar/concrete/grout provides good adhesion and water resistance. It comes in the form of a milky liquid. It is fully soluble in water and is to be added
directly to the gauging water of mortar/concrete/ cementitious grout.
Technical Data Sheet
Sika Latex
Uses
Sika® Latex is a high quality emulsion that substantially increases the
qualities of cement mortar/concrete/ cementitious grout. The scope of application are as follows:
Rendering and Coatings
- Bonds rendering and coating layers
- Makes waterproof coating for tanks & pools for either fresh or sea water
- Ensures high wear resistance against erosion
Jointing
- Long life and watertight masonry joints
Concrete Repair & Adhesive Mortar
- Repair of spalling even on prestressed or reinforced concrete
Roof Finishing Adhesion and Hardener for Plaster Work
- Bonding for plaster works by bond-coat
Bonding of Concrete Casts
- Bonding between successive concrete casts by incorporating Sika Latex into bonding mortar
Tiling
- Used in bonding mortar for tiles & panellings
Waterproof Rendering & Cement Injection Mix
- Wet rendering of walls for weather proofing
- Injection into cracks or porous concrete works
Advantages
Sika Latex improves the following properties:
Adhesion to most substrates (concrete, stone, brick, ferrous metals, glass, ceramic tiles)
Improves elasticity, flexibility and tensile strength
- Easy to use, non-toxic & plasticising mortar
- Inhibits cracking, improves surface hardening, limits wear and dust production
- Makes the mortar waterproof and reduces susceptibility to acids and greases
- Mortar with Sika® Latex shows extremely good bonding to bases like concrete, stone, brick etc.
- Reduces viscosity of cement injection grout and improves bond of cured injected materials with substrates
