    Product Information

    UCAR™ Latex D 161


    For highly flexible cement modified building products

    UCAR™ Latex D 161 is a styrene-acrylic copolymer designed for modifying cement to give good flexibility. This
    latex has excellent water and alkaline resistances making it suitable for flexible and water-resistant two-compo-
    nent mortars. It is also applicable in the production of crack-filling systems, flexible membranes, and ceramic
    tile adhesives.

    Mix the dry premix portion with the aqueous phase with agitation to obtain a homogenous slurry mixture

    Properties
    • Brookfield viscosity (spindle 4 @ 60 rpm): 8000 cps
    • Tensile strength (after 7 days ambient curing): 2.5 N/mm2
    • Elongation at break (after 7 days ambient curing): 360%
    • Tear resistance (ASTM D-624): 9.8 KN/m
    • Water vapour permeability (based on ASTM E96, desiccant method at 90% R.H. at 38°C = 15g/m2/day)
    • Adhesion to steel (pull-off strength), ASTM D-4541:4.5 N/mm2

    This is a 2 component water proofing system consisting of latex and premixed powder which includes cement and sand. It is flexible
    and fills hairline cracks (up to 2 mm). It allows moisture vapour transmission or "breathing ability" which is necessary
    over fresh concrete or screeds. It has excellent adhesion to concrete, brick, screed, stone, wood, etc.
    It is easily applied using roller or stiff bristle broom/brush onto both horizontal and vertical surfaces.

    Formulation guidelines
    • A large amount of Portland cement in the dry mix results in a harder and less flexible membrane.
    • Larger amounts of filler such as calcium carbonate in the Portland cement give better tensile strength and
    elongation than coarse fillers such as sand.
    • Finer grades of calcium carbonate (e.g., 600 mesh) in the Portland cement give higher viscosity than coarser
    calcium carbonate (e.g., 325 mesh).
    • Larger amounts of UCAR Latex D 161 give better elongation, adhesion and waterproofing to the membrane.
    • Diluted acrylic thickener can be used to increase viscosity and give a shear-thinning rheology.
    • Typical ratio by weight of dry premix to aqueous phase ranges from 1:1 to 2:1.
    • Dry premix is added slowly into the aqueous phase with good agitation and this mixture must be applied within
    its potlife.
    • Usual application of this slurry mixture is by brushing or roller in at least 2 coats to give dry film thickness of
    about 1.5 - 2 mm.
