Strong Bond is an acrylic bonding agent and admixture that improves adhesion, strength, and durability in concrete, masonry, and stucco
Strong Bond improves the flexural strength, bond strength, and impact resistance of mortars and concrete, and concrete fortified with it resists freeze-thaw cycling and chloride ion penetration well. It may contribute to LEED credits.
Key Features & Benefits
- Improves flexural strength, bond strength, and impact resistance
- Excellent freeze-thaw resistance and chloride ion resistance when used to fortify mortar/concrete
- Minimizes cracking in concrete, stucco, and plaster when used as an admixture
- Eliminates the need for separate air-entraining agents
- VOC compliant (<5 g/L)
- May contribute to LEED credits
Application Instructions
- Mechanically abrade the substrate to remove unsound concrete, ensuring a dust-free surface with adequate profile for mechanical lock
- Substrate should be saturated-surface-dry (SSD) with no standing water
- For increased durability, dilution rates of 2:1 or 1:1 can be used; typically blend 1 part cement to 3 parts sand, then add Strong Bond as needed
- Not recommended as a standalone waterproofing agent
- Protect Strong Bond film or bond coat from freezing until topping is placed
Technical Data Summary
- VOC Content: <5 g/L
Packaging
Available in 5-gallon pails (also offered in 1-gallon units).
