MAXBOND®
SINGLE COMPONENT RESIN FOR BONDING OF CONCRETE, MORTAR, PLASTER AND CERAMIC FIXING

Description

MAXBOND is a specially formulated resin for bonding different layers of concrete and for giving greater adhesion of mortar to smooth and pores free surfaces. It acts as a bonding agent between the two bodies.

Uses

• On old concrete which needs building up for repair.
• For paving to place a new flagstone on top of the existing one, and to level off with mortar in small thickness.
• For building up of compression layers.
• In roofs, to give greater adhesion to mortar and plaster.
• To stick loose ceramics back on to the mortar.

Advantages

• Eliminates additional costs of pitted concrete and surfaces in general.
• Alkali resistant.
• Can be applied to damp surfaces, without puddles or brittleness.
• Once set, it is unaffected by variations in temperature and becomes flexible.
• Works on traction and shearing.

Instructions for use

The surface must be clean, solid and free of dust or loose material. Paint which is not water soluble must be fully cured and shiny plastic paint must be removed. Surfaces must be cleaned of water soluble paint and wall paper must be removed. Where the material covering a surface is of unknown origin, an area should be tested out and observed one week later. Use a brush, roller or spray gun to apply a continuous coat. If the surface if porous, apply two coats in succession.

MAXBOND is pink in colour and treated areas can therefore be easily seen. Wait for 20 minutes before placing the concrete, mortar or plaster in situ.

At 20ºC, the maximum open time available for the application of the next concrete or mortar layer is 72 hours. This time is shorter at higher temperatures, with time lapses greater than 24 -36 hours not being recommended because the effectiveness of the bonding decreases progressively when application is done beyond this time.

Tools used can be cleaned with water.

Precautions

• Do not apply on surfaces under hydrostatic pressure.
• Do not apply below 5º C nor on very cold surfaces.
• Do not keep product in very cold temperatures to avoid its freezing; however, if it freezes, leave it in a place where it will slowly increase in temperature without heating.
• MAXBOND will not have damage if it can be stirred after being frozen and then left in a warm environment.
• Avoid prolonged freezing as this can damage the product. Do not apply on dead plaster.
• Avoid formation of pools on application porous of MAXBOND. Very dry or porous supports should be wet before application in order to achieve better covering.

Depending on porosity of substrate, approximately between 5 and 8 m2/litre.
