Adhesive Cement consists of fine sand, high performance cement and polymer glue with superior bonding properties. Scientifically formulated, it is the product of choice for the repair of imperfect or damaged concrete surfaces as well as for cracks in floors, walls, sidewalks, etc. It can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Technical characteristics :
Adheres securely to existing concrete, masonry and stucco surfaces. Easy to use in thin finishes. Has an exceptional resistance that exceeds that of ordinary concrete.
Yield :
20 kg bag covers an area of 1.8 cubic meters (20 square feet) at a thickness of 0.63 centimeters (1/4 inch).
Recommendations :
This product should not be used where the temperature is below 5ºC or above 39ºC during application. Do not use dirty water. Make sure you always use clean tools. Since Adhesive Cement has outstanding adhesion properties, all tools should be cleaned with water immediately after use. Do not exceed 1 inch thick per coat.
Packaging :
This product is offered in 1.25 kg and 6 kg seal, and in 20 kg bag.
Storage :
Store in a dry place protected from the weather. Unopened bags have a shelf life of 12 months. Product contaminated by water, moisture, or containing hard clods must be discarded.
Surface Preparation : Make sure the surfaces to be repaired are clean. They must be free of dirt, sand, dust and grease, etc. Any loose cement will have to be removed. Surfaces to be covered must be structurally sound. For repairs scratch the surface to be restored without leaving loose pieces or dust. Remove residues using a low-flow water jet. Moisten the surface before laying avoiding water accumulations.
Mixing : Pour the contents into a mortar trough, wheelbarrow or a clean, smooth surface. Add about 3 to 3.3 liters of water per 20 kg bag. Mix well until you get a uniform mixture.
Application : Moisten the surfaces before applying the mixture. For repair and filling cracks, compact the mixture with a pestle or stick and / or using a joint trowel. Do not leave voids. Equalize the surface with a squeegee. Any standard finishing technique can be used.
Protection : Protect the mortar from frost, rain, sun and wind for the first 72 hours.
Curing : Allow the concrete to set for at least 5 days at 21ºC, or for 7 days if the temperature varies between 10 and 21ºC. Ideal ripening conditions are high humidity and moderate temperature and winds.
Cleaning : Clean equipment and tools with water before the product hardens. Remove splashes and stains. Once the mixture has hardened, only mechanical cleaning will be effective.
Precautions : Wash hands and skin when in contact with the product. The cement and silica it contains can cause irritation to the skin and eyes. See Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for first aid.
