Added to the mixing water within the range 1:1 to 1:4 depending on application.

Bonding Bridge:

Mix SikaLatex® with water to produce a gauging solution in the correct ratio. Add gauging solution to cement-aggregate mix until desired consistency is achieved. The prepared substrate should be thoroughly soaked with clean water until uniformly saturated leaving no standing water. Work mix vigorously with a stiff brush onto pre-dampened substrate. Always apply screeds / render / mortars “wet on wet” onto bonding bridge.

Cement : Sand : Liquid (1 part SikaLatex® + part water) = 1 : 1 : 1 (by volume) or

Cement : Sand : Liquid (1 part SikaLatex® + part water) = 1.5 : 2 : 1 (by weight)

Apply the slurry onto the pre-wetted substrate in 1-2mm thickness and apply the subsequent mortar renders immediately (wet onto wet application).

Mortar Admixture:

Up to 25 kg of Sikadur Aggregates should be added where the thickness per layer exceeds 12mm

Aggregate Grading:

Flooring, Adhesives and Grouting Mortars

Important Note

• The above mixes are for guidance and based on the use od sharp, well graded aggregates and dry sand. Trials with the materials to be used are recommended.
• For optimum results, always ensure that the correct SikaLatex® : Water ratio is used as shown in the tables above
• Depending on the application and performance required, SikaLatex® may be added to the clean mixing water within the range of 1:1 to 1:4
