FAQs

What is KA-Bond SBR?

KA-Bond SBR is a premium co-polymer bonding compound designed to enhance the performance of mortar, screeds, and renders.

What are the benefits of using this bonding compound?

It improves adhesion, flexibility, durability, and waterproofing properties.

How do I mix KA-Bond SBR?

Mix the required amount of SBR with water at a 2:1 ratio (SBR:water).

Can I use it for damp proofing?

Yes, it can be used as a primer before applying tanking slurry for damp proofing.

What surfaces can I apply it to?

It can be applied to surfaces before applying cement-based mortars, screeds and tanking slurries.

How long should I wait before applying the slurry or mortar?

Allow the mixture to become 'tacky' before applying your tanking or mortar for complete protection and added adhesion.

How should I store the bonding compound?

Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Keep the container sealed when not in use.

Is any special equipment needed for application?

A brush or roller is typically sufficient for applying the compound as a primer. Proper PPE, like gloves and eye protection, is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Poor adhesion of tanking slurry after application.

Ensure the bonding compound was applied as a primer and allowed to become 'tacky' before applying the slurry. Re-apply the primer if necessary.

Cracking in the mortar or screed.

Check the mixing ratio of SBR to water. Ensure the correct ratio (2:1) was used. Consider environmental factors such as temperature and humidity during application.

The mixture is too thick or too thin.

Adjust the water to SBR ratio to achieve the desired consistency. A 2:1 ratio is recommended for general applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Increases the bond strength of cement-based materials.
Improves the flexibility of mortar and screeds, reducing cracking.
Enhances waterproofing properties for added protection.
Acts as an effective primer for tanking slurry applications.

Cons

Requires precise mixing ratios for optimal performance.
Additional cost compared to using materials without the compound.
Proper application is crucial for achieving desired results.
May require additional preparation time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Mixing Ratio: Mix KA-Bond SBR with water at a 2:1 ratio (SBR:water) for most applications.
Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose particles before application.
Application: Apply the mixture evenly to the surface.
Drying Time: Allow the mixture to become 'tacky' before applying the subsequent layer or material.
Compatibility: Compatible with cement-based mortars, screeds, and renders. Always test on a small area first.
Care: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures. Keep the container sealed when not in use.
Safety: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and eye protection when handling.
