SikaLatex® Power

Multipurpose polymer for waterproofing and repair

SikaLatex® Power is a synthetic rubber emulsion which when added to cement slurry/ cement mortar/concrete/grout provides good adhesion and water resistance. It comes in the form of a milky liquid. It is fully soluble in water and is to be added directly to the gauging water of mortar/concrete/ cementitious grout.

  • 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
  • Does not re-emulsify, even in high alkaline conditions

Usage

  • 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 salt petre action
  • Multipurpose mortar admixture for injection grouts

MIXING

SikaLatex® Power is to be added to cement/ cement mortar/concrete/grout depending on the type of application
as per the table above. Mixing of diluted SikaLatex® Power to cement mortar should preferably be done manually by volume as per
the table. Please note that when a Waterproofing Slurry or Bonding Coat is to be prepared Cement is to be added in the Polymer for getting consistent mixture.

CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use. Hardened / cured material can only be removed mechanically.
