PRODUCT DATA SHEET
SikaLatex® R
Acrylic latex bonding agent/admixture for portland-cement mortar/concrete
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
SikaLatex® R is an acrylic-polymer latex. It is not re-
emulsifiable. It is a general purpose admixture which will
produce polymer-modified concrete and mortar. Sika
Latex R is also a bonding grout when mixed with sand
and portland cement.
USES
Admixture (replacing water) used in cement based
products to improve adhesion, achieve a denser
surface, and improve overall performance
▪
As a bonding grout (prime coat) when mixed with sand
and portland cement
▪
