SIKALATEX 141

SikaLatex®-141 is a (SBR) styrene-butadiene co-polymer latex specifically designed for use with cement compositions. It is used in mortar and concretes as an admixture to increase resistance to water penetration, improve abrasion resistance and durability. It is used with cement as a reliable water-resistant bonding agent. The use of SikaLatex®-141 synthetic latex in cementbased slurries and mortars compensates for many deficiencies in the mixes without detracting from their inherent strength and properties. SikaLatex®-141 has been developed specifically for use with Portland cements. As ordinary mortar dries out, voids are left which make it permeable and weaker. When SikaLatex®-141 is added, the SikaLatex®-141 particles bind together to form continuous films and strands – these stitch the opposite sides of the voids together and block up the spaces, increasing strength and resistance to water penetration. SikaLatex®-141 combined with cement produces an excellent adhesive; each component compliments the properties of the other in this respect. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.
