Liqui-Rock 50 LQ50 Bonding Liquid Latex Primer  (20 L)

Liqui-Rock 50 is a Styrene / Butadiene Copolymer Latex that has been specifically designed as a latex admixture for use in cement compositions. The use of Liqui-Rock 50 as an admixture offers improved adhesion to substrate, toughness and flexibility, resistance to certain chemicals, excellent water resistance, better resistance to frost as well as dust suppression. FEATURES & BENEFITS The addition of Liqui-Rock 50 confers numerous advantages over untreated mortars and concretes, such as: 1. Greatly improved adhesion to substrates, including dense impervious concrete 2. Excellent resistance to water and water vapour 3. Improved toughness and flexibility 4. Better resistance to frost1 5. Improved resistance to certain chemicals 6. Diminishing dust. APPLICATIONS Cement compositions containing Liqui-Rock 50 are particularly useful in a number of applications. Some examples are: 1. Water-resistant rendering for interior or exterior walls or basements 2. Damp-resistant layers 3. Levelling floors prior to laying tiles, wood blocks, etc 4. Patching and repairing concreted areas 5. Waterproof flat roofing and balconies 6. Industrial flooring, screeding and topping 7. Nosing for stairs indoors / outdoors 8. Flooring for dairies, food factories, fertiliser stores where improved chemical resistance is required. 9. Lining of effluent ducts, tunnels and canals 10. Corrosion protection of steel reinforcing rods in concrete and of steel structures 11. Water-resistant adhesives for tiles, aggregates, glass, steel, etc 12. Screeds for bathrooms and showers Mixing Mixing procedure for mortars or concretes containing Liqui-Rock 50 is similar to that used for conventional compositions, gauging water being partly or completely replaced by Liqui-Rock 50. The quantity of Liqui-Rock 50 recommended will depend upon the application and is normally from 9 to 18 litres per 50 kgs of cement. The higher level of latex addition is used for thin screeds where maximum performance is required; levels lower or higher than those quoted may be used in special circumstances. The colour of latex-modified compositions may be a little darker than that of ordinary compositions; if this is undesirable it can be simply remedied by including a proportion of white cement. Typical examples of mortars are given in the appendix. Portland, High Alumina and certain fast setting cements are compatible with Liqui-Rock 50 and have been successfully used.
