Liquid Bonding Admixture
Description
SBR LATEX is a carboxylated styrene butadiene copolymer latex admixture that is designed as an integral
adhesive for cement bond coats, mortars and concrete to improve bond strength and chemical resistance.
Primary Applications
• Toppings, repairs and leveling concrete surfaces • General reconstruction work/latex modified overlays
• Thin sets, terrazzo, stucco and bonding coats • Bridge decks, highways and parking decks
Features/Benefits
• Reduces cracking through increased mortar flexural • Improves bond strengths to hardened concrete
strength
• Increases wear resistance under rubber wheeled • Increases durability during freeze/thaw cycles
traffic • Increases mortar tensile strength

Directions for Use

Surface Preparation: If using this product as a cementitious bond coat, the base concrete must be a minimum
of 3 days old. The concrete must be clean and all oil, dirt, debris, paint, curing compounds, sealers and unsound
concrete must be removed. The surface must be prepared mechanically using a scabbler, bushhammer,
shotblaster or scarifier, so that the minimum surface profile is 1/8" (3 mm) and exposes the large aggregate of
the concrete. Note: Acid etching is not acceptable. Finally, clean the concrete of all residue with a vacuum
cleaner and/or pressure washer. Allow the concrete surface to begin drying, and do not place the cementitious
bond coat on standing water. Base concrete must be saturated-surface dry (SSD) to reduce moisture loss.
Bonding: For bonding toppings with this product, The Euclid Chemical Company strongly recommends using a
cement bond coat rather than using this product as a primer by itself. After the surface has been prepared, prime
all areas with a bond coat before the topping is applied. Follow mixing and placing instructions listed below.
Place the topping on the bond coat before the bond coat dries out.
Mixing: Small quantities may be mixed with a drill and "jiffy" mixer. Use a paddle type mortar mixer for large
jobs. All materials should be in the proper temperature range of 40°F (5°C) to 90°F (32°C). Add the appropriate
amount of SBR LATEX for the batch size and then add the dry material. If using SBR LATEX with a pre-
packaged product, reduce the amount of water added to compensate for the latex addition. Mix a minimum
of 3 minutes. The mixed product should be quickly transported to the repair area and placed immediately.
Placement: Discharge material onto the floor.
Bond Coat Application: Spread the bond coat with a stiff bristle broom until the suggested coverage rate is achieved.
Topping Application: For patching, spread with a trowel, come-a-long, or square tipped shovel to a thickness
that matches the surrounding concrete. Finish by hand troweling. On large floor areas, use screed strips as
guides in combination with vibratory screeding to level. Compact and finish by hand or machine trowel.
Finishing: Finish the repair material to the desired texture. Typical texture is a broom or sponge float finish. Do not
add additional water to the surface during the finishing operation. If additional liquid is required, use EUCOBAR
finishing aid.
Curing: Proper curing procedures are important to ensure the durability and quality of the repair or overlayment. To
prevent surface cracking, a moist cure should be maintained for 24 hours followed by use of a curing compound such
as DIAMOND CLEAR VOX or AQUA-CURE VOX. Do not use a solvent based curing compound on latex modified
mortars.
Clean-Up
Clean tools and equipment with water before the material hardens.
Precautions/Limitations
• Do not use material at temperatures below 45°F (7°C). Protect from freezing.
• No heavy traffic until the product has cured.
• Not designed for use on its own as a bonding agent. SBR LATEX must be used in a slurry with portland cement.
• Use of this product in conjunction with air entrained cement/concrete or with other admixtures may significantly
increase total entrained air content. Testing is strongly advised.
• Do not use a solvent based curing compound on latex modified mortars.
• In all cases, consult the Safety Data Sheet before use.
