About Fosroc Nitobond SBR Latex Bonding Agent
Product DescriptionNitobond SBR(Latex) is modified styrene butadiene emulsion specially designed for use as a bonding aid and gauging liquid for cementitious systems. It is resistant to hydrolysis and can therefore be used for external applications too.
Main Uses
- Modifying and improving bonding of floor toppings, renderings and mortars.
- Repair of worn, damaged and spalled concrete.
- Repair of large cracks.
- Polymer modified floor screeds.
- Waterproof plasters for masonry and slurries.
Advantages
- Simple to use - Single component, gauged as required.
- High - Provides excellent bond to concrete, adhesion plaster, masonry, stone work, etc.
- Improves -Gives weather resistant mortar with improved durability impermeability to chlorides and other harmful agents.
- Reduces - Provides waterproof screeds, plasters and Permeability slurries.
- Increases - Improved tensile and flexural properties strength allow thin applications.
- Versatile - Compatible with all common hydraulic cements.
- Cost effective - Nitobond SBR (Latex) is economical to use.
Superior Bonding and DurabilityNitobond SBR Latex significantly improves the bond between old and new concrete. It acts as a reliable interface for repair mortars and patching works, increasing the structural integrity and longevity of cementitious repairs by reducing water penetration and shrinkage.
Versatile Usage and ApplicationThis bonding agent is suitable for waterproofing, crack repairs, and as an additive in a variety of cement mixes. Its compatibility with all types of Portland cements makes it highly versatile for different repair and construction environments, whether indoor, outdoor, or industrial.
