Planicrete - Synthetic-rubber latex to improve the adhesion of cement mixes
by Mapei
Planicrete is a highly stable water dispersion of a special synthetic elastomer resistant to alkaline saponification, characterised by its low glass transition temperature. This special SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) based elastomer also has a special property which makes it stable after ageing. The polymer chains forming this elastomer are characterised by a tight weave of chemical binders which connect them together. This important characteristic enables the polymer chains to take up a parallel conformation when they are deformed, thus giving the elastomer a high level of elasticity.
Planicrete is supplied in the form of a highly fluid, white coloured latex which, when added to cement and aggregate mixes, improves their adhesion, plasticity, thixotropy, water retention and overall workability.
COVERAGE: depends on dilution and thickness of mortar.
WHERE TO USE
- As an admixture to improve the mechanical and adhesive characteristics of cement-based screeds, renders and thin smoothing layers.
- As an admixture for highly adhesive cement bonding slurries.
