SBR Waterproofing Chemical – Description
SBR (Styrene-Butadiene Rubber) waterproofing chemical is a latex-based additive used in construction for improving the properties of cement-based mortars, screeds, plasters, and concrete. It enhances the flexibility, adhesion, water resistance, and overall durability of the mix it is added to. SBR is widely used for waterproofing, repair works, and protective coatings.
🔍 Key Features:
Improves Waterproofing: Reduces water permeability of cementitious mixes.
Enhances Adhesion: Improves bonding between old and new concrete surfaces.
Increases Flexibility: Makes mortars more resistant to cracking and shrinkage.
Chemical & Abrasion Resistance: Enhances durability in aggressive environments.
Versatile Use: Can be used for both internal and external applications.
🛠️ Common Applications:
Waterproofing of rooftops, basements, water tanks, and bathrooms
Bonding agent for concrete repairs
Modification of plaster, screed, and tile adhesive
Repair of cracks and spalled concrete surfaces
🧪 Typical Mixing Ratio (for waterproofing slurry):
1 part SBR Latex
1 part cement
Water as needed for brushable consistency
Note: Ratios vary by brand and use case; always follow the manufacturer's datasheet.
⚠️ Precautions:
Do not apply on wet or dirty surfaces.
Avoid using in extremely hot or freezing conditions.
Ensure proper surface preparation for best results.
