Water dispersion of a synthetic elastomer for improving workability and water impermeability when mixed with

cementitious mortars like renders screeds repair mortars adhesive slurries.

Fields of Application

- As an admixture to improve flexibility adhesion water impermeability characteristics of cementitious mixes for

screeds renders repair mortars adhesive slurries.

Properties

- Improves adhesion to all surfaces

- Increases resistance to abrasion.

- Improves water impermeability.

- Improves flexibility.

- Increases resistance to freeze–thaw cycles.

- Increases chemical resistance to diluted acids and alkalis salt solutions and oils.

Application

- Substrates must be sound free from oil grease and sufficiently dry.

- Cementitious substrates must be cured.

- KALEKIM LATEX should not be shaked much to prevent air entraining.

- Dilute Kalekim Latex with water in suitable container in the ratio recommended below for specific applications.

- Pour the solution into the concrete mixer and add the cement and the aggregates preferably mixed before so as to

avoid lumps.

- Mix throughly till a obtain a homogeneous mixture.

Usage in renders:

- Mix cement and sand at appropriate size in 1:4 - 1:5 ratio with Kalekim Latex diluted water in the ratio of 1:4.

Using in repairing mortar:

- Mix cement and sand at appropriate size in 1:3 - 1:4 ratio with Kalekim Latex diluted water in the ratio of 1:3.

Usage in adhesive slurries:

- To obtain a bonding slurry to be applied before screeds and plasters on existing cement surfaces add Kalekim

- Latex diluted water in the ratio of 1:2 into 1:3 cement: sand mixture until gets creamy structure.

Usage in screeds:

- Mix cement and sand at appropriate size in 1:3 - 1:4 ratio with Kalekim Latex diluted water in the ratio of 1:4. Apply

the mixture with brush till it gains 2 mm. thickness while the adhesive slurry applied before it is still fresh. Mix for 2 -

3 minutes until the mix is smooth. Dispose mortars of which pot life is expired. Clean tools and hands with water

surfaces with a damp cloth before setting begins. After application in very warm or windy weather conditions the

mortars made with Kalekim Latex as admix must be cured carefully to avoid fast water evaporation which could

cause surface cracks due to plastic shrinkage.
