Description
ABE Duralatex is a single-component, latex-based polymer designed to improve the performance of site-batched cementitious mortars and slurries. It enhances adhesion, cohesion, and flexibility, making it ideal for waterproof repairs, screeds, renders, and thin-section cement patches. ABE Duralatex is resistant to hydrolysis and suitable for both internal and external applications in conjunction with cement.
Attributes:
- Coverage: approx. 500ml/m² as adhesive slurry; varies by mortar thickness.
- Colour: Wet – milky white; Dry – translucent clear.
- Shelf life: 12 months in sealed packaging below 25°C
- pH value: approx. 11
- Dilution: clean water (1:1 to 1:3 depending on mortar thickness)
Uses:
- Adhesion improvement for cement patches, mortars, and screeds.
- Enhancing tensile and flexural strength of sand/cement mixes.
- Waterproofing repairs, renders, and toppings.
- Priming porous surfaces before mortar application.
Advantages:
- Single-component and easy to gauge.
- Improves workability and cohesion.
- Allows thinner applications with high strength.
- Excellent bond to concrete, masonry, plaster, and stone.
- Chloride-free and suitable for damp substrates.
