Ordinary mortars and concretes are mixed with water and while the resulting product is very strong, it doesn't bond well with adjacent concrete or other materials. In addition, ordinary concrete is not waterproof and cannot be applied in thin layers. Latex modifiers used in place of the mixing water improve the performance of concrete and mortar in these areas. Of the various latex modifiers available, pure acrylics are the best. Astek only sells pure acrylic modifiers. These are the same acrylics used in our famous "TAPECRETE" systems. Simply substitute our P151 (for thin applications less than 1") or P171 (for applications over 1") in place of the recommended dosage of mixing water in any unmodified commercial concrete, mortar or grout and you will dramatically improve the performance of these products. Feel free to contact us regarding specific products and applications.
