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.

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

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