AL/44


DESCRIPTION:
A styrene / butadine co-polymer latex, a white synthetic liquid rubber.

USAGE:
For use in bonding Slurries, screeds, renderings, pavings and other cementitious mixes where it wholly or partially replaces the water content of the mixes.
Can be an economic replacement for epoxy and other resin products and it is easier to use.

APPLICATION:
Mix 2 parts cement with one part AL/44 and use a prime coat. This should be well brushed into the surface which has been prepared i e. clean and dust free. Then a normal sand / cement coat, containing 6 litres AL/44 to every 50kg cement should be applied onto the wet prime coat. Where a fairly thick coating of waterproofing is required, numerous thin layers of approximately 10mm thick should be applied one on top of the other, with an interval of 15-30 minutes between each coat.
Where AL/44 is used to waterproof dam walls, reservoirs etc., it is recommended that a minimum of 5 litres of AL/44 be used for every 50kg of cement. The more AL/44 in the mix the better results will be. In the course of construction by mixing 12,5kg of AL/44 to every 50kg of cement in the normal sand l cement mix, an excellent water-resistant concrete will be obtained.
Wash tools immediately after use.
