If you’re in the construction industry, you may know that Portland cement compositions are commonly used but are prone to cracking, chipping, and other types of damage. But don’t worry! There is an effective solution to enhance their durability and strength: Tacktile Bonding Liquid.
What is Tacktile Bonding Liquid?
Tactile Bonding Liquid is an acrylic polymer specially formulated to modify Portland cement compositions. When added to cement mortars, it creates a hard, tough, and long-lasting material that outperforms unmodified mortars.
Tactile Bonding Liquid is especially beneficial for applications with thin sections, excessive vibration, and heavy traffic. This versatile product serves as a Bonding and Priming Agent that can be used for various purposes, such as tiling and grouting.
It is available in a 5L and 25L container and can be directly added to grouts, tile adhesives, mortars, and other Portland cement-based compositions. It can even replace the water in these mixes for remarkable flexural, adhesive, and impact strengths.
Benefits of using Tacktile Bonding Liquid
There are numerous benefits to using Tactile Bonding Liquid in your cement compositions. Here are some of the key advantages:
- Increased Durability and Strength: Tactile Bonding Liquid significantly improves the strength and durability of cement mortars, making them harder, tougher, and more durable than unmodified mortars.
- Exceptional Adhesion: This product provides excellent adhesion to many surfaces, including smooth surfaces, allowing for a secure bond between the cement and the substrate.
- Improved Resistance to Chemicals, UV Light, and Heat: Tactile Bonding Liquid enhances the resistance of cement compositions to chemicals, UV light, and heat, making them more resistant to damage caused by environmental factors.
- Easy Application: Surface preparation is straightforward, requiring only the removal of loose particles and any greasy substances before applying the product with a brush or roller. It can even be added directly to the cement mix, eliminating the need for additional water.
Overall, Tactile Bonding Liquid is an excellent choice for those seeking to improve the strength, durability, and adhesion of cement-based compositions.
How to use Tacktile Bonding Liquid
To use Tacktile Bonding Liquid, the surface should be free of all loose particles and any greasy substances, and it should be clean and dry. The product can be applied directly to the surface with a brush or roller, and no dilution with water or any other substance is required. After application, allow the surface to dry completely before plastering or rendering as normal. No need to roughen or chip smooth surfaces.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Tacktile Bonding Liquid is an excellent product that can help to improve the strength, durability, and adhesion of Portland cement compositions. If you’re working on a project that requires strong, durable, and long-lasting materials, be sure to give Tacktile Bonding Liquid a try.
