Strong Bond

Strong Bond

Strong Bond is an acrylic admixture and bonding agent designed to improve the adhesion and durability of concrete, masonry, stucco, terrazzo and Portland cement-sand mixes to horizontal and vertical concrete and other surfaces. May contribute to LEED credits.

  • Improves the flexural strength, bond strength and impact resistance of mortars and concrete.
  • Concrete and mortar fortified with STRONG BOND exhibit excellent resistance to cycles of freezing and thawing and to penetration of chloride ions.
  • Minimizes cracks in concrete, stucco and plaster when used as an admixture
  • Eliminates the need for separate air entraining agents
  • VOC compliant. VOC content: <5g/l

Packaging

  • 55 gallon drums
  • 5 gallon pails
  • 1 gallon jugs (4 to a case)

Shelf Life

Shelf life of STRONG BOND in the original tightly closed container is 1 year from the date of manufacture. Do not allow StrongBond to freeze.

 Standards

  • ASTM C 1042 – Bond Strength of Latex Systems Used With Concrete – Type 2
  •  ASTM C 1059 Latex Agents for Bonding Fresh to Hardened Concrete – Type II
  • Surface Preparation: Ensure substrates are mechanically abraded to remove unsound concrete, ensuring a dust-free surface with adequate profile for mechanical lock. The substrate should be saturated-surface-dry (SSD) without standing water.
  • Mixing and Application: Vary mix designs to meet specific job requirements, adjusting sand, cement, and Strong Bond ratios to achieve the desired physical properties. For bond coats, a slurry consistency is recommended, ensuring thorough coverage and attention to detail.
  • Admixture Dilution: Dilute Strong Bond up to 3:1 with water for general applications, with more concentrated mixtures offering increased durability.
