Weber Latex | Adhesion and Waterproofing Enhancer for Plasters and Mortars
Weber Latex
As specified in the technical data sheet, Weber Latex is a special additive designed to improve the adhesion, flexibility, and water resistance of plasters and mortars. It can be used both in new applications and for strengthening existing surfaces.
Advantages
- Improves adhesion and creates a strong bonding bridge between surfaces
- Enhances flexibility and workability
- Increases water resistance and waterproofing performance
These properties make Weber Latex an effective additive for improving mortar performance in a wide range of construction applications.
Areas of Use
- Increasing the strength and water resistance of plasters and floor screeds
- Producing abrasion-resistant screeds
- Splash coat applications on smooth substrates
- Improving adhesion when placing fresh concrete or screed onto existing concrete surfaces and preventing cold joints
- Providing a strong bonding bridge when applying new layers over existing surfaces
Application Conditions
- Ambient temperature: +5°C to +35°C
- Sand used in the mixture must be clean.
- Cement must be fresh and undamaged.
- The substrate must be clean, sound, and free from loose particles.
- The surface should be pre-moistened before application.
Application Method
Use in Mortars
- Add Weber Latex to clean mixing water at a dosage of 2.5% of the cement weight.
- If necessary, the water ratio may be adjusted according to site conditions and application requirements.
Bonding Bridge / Splash Coat Applications
- Weber Latex may be applied either in its pure form or mixed with mortar.
- The liquid mixture is added to the dry components and mixed until a homogeneous consistency is achieved.
Consumption
For Modified Mortars
- 2.5% of the cement weight
For Bonding Primers
- Water dilution ratio: 1:1 to 1:4
Note: Actual consumption may vary depending on aggregate type, cement type, and ambient temperature.
