Uses
- For waterproofing of roof slabs, sunken slabs, basements, water tanks, sunshades etc. in combination with cement
- As a bonding agent for uses in repair and plastering
- For making polymer mortar for repairs mortars etc.
- Treatment for leaching and saltpetre action
- Multipurpose mortar admixture for injection grouts
Advantages
Improves elasticity, flexibility, tensile strength of cement and reduces cracking
Makes the mortar waterproof and reduces susceptibility to acids and gases, salt petre action etc.
Mortar with Sika® Latex Power 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
Sika Latex Power can be diluted with water (1 : 4 - 6) depending on the type of application
Screed required with Sikacim®/ Sika® Plastocrete Super to protect waterproofing layer
Standard coating system can be further reinforced by placing Sika Fab 1 fabric layer in between 1st and the 2nd coat.
