TP LATEX

Improved acrylic-polymer-based liquid admixture for cement-based plasters, screeds and mortars

An acrylic-polymer-based liquid admixture added to cement-based plaster, screed, repair and similar mortars, providing adhesion and water impermeability. It improves mortar and concrete quality by increasing high-grade bond strength, reducing shrinkage, and providing high elasticity and abrasion resistance. It is non-toxic and can be diluted with water.

Areas of Use

• In plasters and masonry mortars
• In floor screeds
• In fair-faced concrete
• In concrete and thin-layer repair mortars
• In ceramic tile adhesives
• In abrasion-resistant coatings.

Advantages

• Increases bond strength in hardened concrete.
• Increases water impermeability.
• Reduces shrinkage.
• Increases the flexibility of the mortar.
• Provides abrasion resistance.
• Increases adhesion strength on most substrates.

Consumption	Varies depending on the condition of the surface and the requirement.
Shelf Life	Can be stored for 12 months in its unopened original packaging in dry environments at temperatures between 5°C and 25°C. Opened packages must be used immediately.

Application

It is recommended to use the product in the proportions below, depending on the place and purpose of use. Before application, to increase adhesion to the surface, a latex/water mixture is prepared and added in sufficient quantity to a cement/sand mix prepared at a ratio of 1/3. The mixture is then applied to the surface or floor with a brush; the subsequent application must be carried out before it dries. For adhesion (bonding): TP Latex is mixed with water at a one-to-one (1/1) ratio and cement is added until it reaches a thick slurry consistency. The resulting cement slurry is applied by brush or by pouring onto the surface. The plaster or screed must be applied over it before it has fully dried. Mix the concrete with the sand, add TP LATEX and continue mixing for at least 2-3 minutes. Then add a small dose of water. TP LATEX produces concrete with flowability and plasticity, so the amount of water should be reduced to compensate for the addition of TP LATEX. Application tools: applied by hand.
