Southcrete 45 Concrete Bonding Agent (SC45) is a poly-vinyl acetate emulsion that can be used as a self-leveling primer for bonding over various substrates such as concrete, stucco, brick, and stone. It may also be used as a direct additive in lieu of water in Portland cement and sand mixes to control hydration and prevent moisture loss.

LIMITATIONS

Not recommended for use in swimming pools or wet areas. Do not apply where hydrostatic pressure exists.

PREPARATION

Surfaces must be free of moisture, oil, wax, dust, tar, paint curing agents, or surface hardeners. All materials and areas should remain above 50°F / 10°C (fifty degrees Fahrenheit / ten degrees Celsius) or below 100°F / 38°C (100 degrees Fahrenheit / 38 degrees Celsius) 24-hours prior and 72-hours after placement.

APPLICATION

Apply bonding agent to surface with either brush, roller or appropriate spray equipment leaving a thin, even coat over the surface. Apply mortar over bonding agent when the film becomes tacky or within several hours.

CLEAN UP

Clean hands, tools, and containers with warm, soapy water.
