Polymer in conjunction with cement provides properties to combat the shortcomings of cement — particularly its poor adhesion properties, Iow impact strength, low flexural strength.

Combines a tough, hard-wearing surface with waterproofing. Allows trapped vapors to escape thus preventing peeling and blister formation.

Can be applied in uniform thickness to horizontal and vertical surfaces.

Develops excellent bond to most building materials.

Reduces or prevents salt penetration into concrete.

Unaffected by ultraviolet light or by chemicals ranging from mild acids to strong alkalis.

No-VOC — therefore can be safely used for reen building construction.

Used with cement to form polymer modified cementitious composite (PMCC). In addition, if used with varying amount of silica/quartz sand produces PMC brush topping, PMC filler and PMC mortar. All the above materials are extensively used for waterproofing and strengthening of existing external surface to prevent ingress ofwater.

To produce a PMC mix whether slurry, brush topping or mortar, required quantity of Tapecrete P 151 is to be mixed with proper amount of other materials. The recommended ratio is 100 parts of OPC and 50 parts of Tapecrete P 151 by weight. The PMC material is placed on the surface to be treated after wetting the surface to saturation but without any free water. The curing of the PMC material is only nominal and required for maximum of 4 days starting one day after the application.
