Acrylic Modified Emulsion & Waterproof Additive For Mortar & Concrete Dubond’s Hydro Crete is an acrylic emulsion which when added to cement mortar / concrete / grout provides good adhesion, water resistance and improvement of other properties. It is available in form of a milky liquid.

• Green Building Rating
• Low Emission
• Low Ecological Impact
• Health Care
• Water Based

Areas of Application

• Hydro Crete is a high quality emulsion that substantially increases the quality of cement mortars /concrete /grout for :
• Rendering and coating
• Jointing
• Repair and adhesive mortar
• Roof finishing
• Bonding of concrete casts
• Tiling
• Waterproof rendering
• Cement injection mix

Features & Benefits

• Extremely good adhesion
• Reduced shrinkage
• Greater elasticity
• Excellent oil and water resistance
• Increased abrasion resistance
• Improved chemical resistance
• Improved UV resistance

Method of Application
Concrete surfaces should be sound and clean, free from oil, grease, cement laitance & loosely adhering particles. Absorbent surfaces should be saturated thoroughly with water but without showing any puddle on their surfaces
Application Instructions
Mixing : Mixing of diluted Hydro Crete to cement mortar / concrete should preferably be done manually. When a concrete mixer is used, pour the mortar as soon as its consistency is cohesive. Do not run the mixer too long.
Application Instructions

• Acrylic Modified Emulsion & Waterproof Additive
• For Mortar & Concrete
• Rendering and coating
• Jointing
• Repair and adhesive mortar
• Roof finishing
• Bonding of concrete casts
• Tiling
• Waterproof rendering
• Cement injection mix
• Technical Information

Aggregates
Aggregates used in the mortar / concrete should be well graded and thoroughly washed. Sand particles sizes should correspond to the thickness of mortar to be applied.
Application Method / Tools

• Bond Coating : Prepare the base as indicated above. Apply cement based primer by using Hydro Crete : Water = 1: 4 by volume in order to obtain a thin layer. When the primer coat is still fresh and sticky apply mortar made out of Hydrocrete & water combination.
• Masonry Jointing : Prepare the base as indicated above. Make a firm mortar with fine sand & cement using Hydro Crete : Water = 1: 8. Impregnate the area with primer coat as above. While the primer is wet, apply the mortar and immediately finish or reshape the surface as required.
• Waterproof Plaster : Dilute Hydro Crete with water in the proportion of 1: 6 by volume. Prepare the mortar with this gauging mortar. Cured Plaster with Hydro Crete would harden faster and would be watertight.
• Bonding Successive Concrete Casts : Wash the surface with high-pressure jet. Prepare a pasty mortar with Hydro Crete: Water = 1: 8 by volume. Apply this mortar onto the surface in a layer of 23 – 30 mm thickness. Pour fresh concrete after about an hour. Vibrate carefully to achieve satisfactory interpenetration of mortar and concrete.
• Polymer Modified Cement Grout for Injection : Open the crack lines into V and U groove and fix galvanized iron nozzles spaced at regular intervals of 0.5 to 1.5 mm c/c along groove length with Hydro Crete or HYDROBUILD SBR. Prepare a cement grout slurry admixed with Hydro Crete at dilution rate of 1: 4 to 1: 8 by volume with water. Inject the fluid as per normal.
• Cleaning of Tools : Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.
• Curing Treatment : Ensure that freshly applied mortars, renders, floor toppings, etc, are adequately protected from the drying effect of wind, sun and high temperatures. Adopt a curing regime appropriate to the application such as water mist, wet hessian, plastic sheeting, curing membranes.

Shelf Life & Storage
12 months from date of production if stored in undamaged & unopened, original sealed packaging, in dry conditions & protected from direct sunlight. Protect from frost.
