NESCOAT® LATEX is a liquid synthetic rubber emulsion that provides cement-based mortars with superior adhesion and water impermeability properties.

USAGE

• To enhance the quality of mortars, mix NESCOAT® LATEX at a ratio of 2-3% by weight of cement with clean mixing water. Depending on the application area, the ratio of NESCOAT® LATEX to water can be increased in special cases. The prepared liquid mixture is added to the dry mix and stirred to prepare the mortar.
• Before applying cement-based mortar, plaster, and screed, NESCOAT® LATEX is mixed with water at a ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 and used as a primer to strengthen the substrate and balance absorbency. The addition of water helps the product penetrate the surface better.
• It is used to increase adhesion and prevent cold joint formation when applying fresh concrete onto existing concrete surfaces. If the surface is rough, the product is applied directly, undiluted, in its pure form. If the surface is smooth, it is either roughened or mixed with NESCOAT® LATEX diluted with water at a 1:1 ratio; a primer mortar is prepared by mixing 1 part cement and 1 part sand with a grain size of 0-3 mm. The primer is applied to the surface with a brush to form a bonding bridge. Fresh concrete should be applied within 20 minutes while the primer is still wet (wet on wet). Applying the mortar within this time frame is critical for achieving maximum adhesion and durability
