Application Method

Bonding Bridge

• Mix SikaLatex solution with cement

• Apply slurry (~1 mm thick) with brush

• Apply new mortar/concrete while still wet

Mortar Applications

• Prepare SikaLatex solution (mix with water)

• Add cement and sand

• Mix until uniform

• Apply mortar to required thickness

Surface Preparation

• Substrate must be:

  • Clean

  • Free from dust, oil, grease

  • Sound and strong

• Remove weak or damaged concrete

• Remove rust and contaminants

Important Notes

⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT:

• Do NOT use SikaLatex alone without cement

• Always mix with cement → otherwise bonding will fail

• Apply bonding slurry and new mortar wet-on-wet

Performance Advantages

• Strong bonding between old and new concrete

• Improves mortar durability

• Enhances waterproofing performance

• Reduces cracking and shrinkage

• Increases service life of structures

Safety & Handling
