MAXCRYL®
LIQUID ADDITIVE TO IMPROVE BONDING AND CURING OF MORTARS AND CONCRETE

Description

MAXCRYL is a white, acrylic-base product used as an additive for portland cement mortars and concrete to increase adhesion and mechanical properties. Mortars prepared with MAXCRYL are more manageable, have grater compactness, longer setting and application time, and greater strength, compression and tension.

Applications

MAXCRYL gives concrete and mortars, as well as MAXSEAL, CONCRESEAL PLASTERING and other DRIZORO products, greater adherence to smooth surfaces. MAXCRYL gives the above mentioned products a better cure when temperatures are high. As an additive for mortars in rehabilitation work, MAXCRYL keeps shrinkage to a minimum and increases adherence to smooth surfaces.

How to use for repairs

Preparation of the surface.
The surface must be clean. There must be no loose particles, paint, grease, etc. If necessary, use sandblasting or water blast to clean the surface.

Preparing the mortar.
Mix the cement and sand in the required proportions. In a separate container mix one part MAXCRYL to three parts water.
Once the semi-dry mortar has been mixed, apply it without pressing too hard with the trowel. Apply the mortar in layers.
Allow patch to cure for seven days before painting over.

Maxcryl ratios for different applications

With MAXSEAL-CONCRESEAL PLASTERING.
A ratio of 1:3 One part MAXCRYL to three parts water.

With cement mortars.
A ratio of 1: 3 or a ratio of 1: 2 depending on the job.
You can also experiment with other ratios before undertaking a specific job, to make sure that such ratio meets the specific requirement.
