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

CHARACTERISTICS / 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®Fab1 fabric layer in between 1st and the 2nd coat.
