CEMEX & HYPERCRETE

PRODUCTS

CEMEX is a synthetic latex additive for cement and mortar mixtures.
The addition of CEMEX confers numerous advantages over unmodified mixes, such as; it greatly improves adhesion to substrates, greatly improves toughness and flexibility, improves resistance to water and water vapor, improves the performance of mortars in thin layers, it improves chemical resistance and reduces dusting

Applications

The applications are mostly used for
Balconies
Showers
Bathrooms
Damp proofing
Industrial kitchen floors
Internal face brick treatment

Typical applications of CEMEX modified mixtures include: plaster cement and concrete repairs, water resistant renderings for internal and external walls, screeds for bathrooms and showers, water resistant additive for tile adhesives and grouts and as a bonding agent for acrylic toppings.

Storage:	Protect from direct sunlight and frost. Store between +5 and 35o c
Cleaning:	Water when wet / Ethyl acetate when dry
Flammability:	Non Flammable
Surface Preparation	Any surface being screeded, plastered or patched must first be clean and dust free. All forms of surface contamination must be removed to ensure a smooth surface, free of any loose material, or any other barrier to adhesion. Steel and galvanized steel surfaces must be free of loose paint, grease, grime, oil and rust. PRIMING: Absorbent surfaces such as concrete or plaster should be pre-dampened with clean water. At the time of application the surfaces must be damp in order to avoid “sucking” but must be free of any standing water.
Application	Mix Ratio is a secret formula for the installation teams only. The finished mix can be applied by means of a block brush, trowel or spray. If the slurry coat is being used as a primer, the coat should still be wet when the plaster mix or cement mix is applied. If the area being treated is going to be tiled over, CEMEX slurry can be used in conjunction with a Polypropylene geo-fabric (not Polyester). The final coat should be allowed a drying time of 3 - 5 days.
