POLYBOND™ ADD-Mix

Multi-purpose Additive for Adhesive, Render & Screed

Product Group:

Adhesive & Grout System

POLYBOND™ ADD-Mix is a water-based emulsion polymer admixture or additive specially formulated to be mixed with POLYBOND™ 136 or POLYBOND™ Standard 158 tiles adhesive to replace mixing water primarily to improve bond strength, flexibility, water resistance and durability as well as minimize efflorescence at joints.

Advantages

  • Single component and user friendly
  • Ready to use without the need for dilution with water
  • Cost effective with high productivity
  • Improves bond strength of mix
  • Improves workability of mix
  • Improves elasticity of mix
  • Reduces shrinkage and permeability of mix

Recommended usage

As an additive for direct replacement of mixing water for:

  • POLYBOND 136 & POLYBOND Standard 158
  • POLYBOND or any other tile grouts
  • Factory premix render and screed
  • Cement-sand site mix plaster and screed

Preparing the mix

For Factory Premix Materials

  • Pour the required POLYBOND™ ADD-Mix in litre into a drum and then only pour the powder slowly while continuously mixing with a slow speed mechanical mixer until it forms a consistent paste free from lumps with an optimal workability for the targeted application depending on substrate and humidity at that time.

For Site Mix Plaster and Screed

  • Pour the required POLYBOND™ ADD-Mix in litre progressively into the rotating drum mixer together with the OPC and washed sand and mix until a consistency is achieved for the targeted application.

  • Stir well POLYBOND™ ADD-Mix from container before mixing as some solid matters may have settled to the bottom of container during prolong storage.
  • Do not further dilute with water other than recommended for a specific function.
  • No necessity to further add any form of plasticizer, lime or chemical additive to improve workability.
  • Please empty all plastic containers thoroughly after use and dispose in accordance to the local regulations as required.
