BASF ( MASTER BUILDERS)

Product Details:

MasterEmaco SBR 2, manufactured by Master Builders Solutions, is a high-performance, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) latex-based bonding agent and polymer modifier. Here's an overview of MasterEmaco SBR 2:

1. Composition: MasterEmaco SBR 2 is formulated with styrene-butadiene rubber latex, special additives, and modifiers. This unique composition imparts excellent bonding properties, flexibility, and durability to cementitious materials.

2. Bonding Agent: MasterEmaco SBR 2 acts as a superior bonding agent, promoting adhesion between new and existing concrete surfaces, mortar, plaster, and other cementitious materials. It enhances the bond strength and cohesion of repair materials, reducing the risk of delamination and ensuring long-term performance.

3. Polymer Modifier: When used as a polymer modifier, MasterEmaco SBR 2 improves the properties of cementitious mixes, such as mortar, grout, and concrete. It enhances the workability, durability, and resistance to cracking, shrinkage, and chemical attack, resulting in high-quality, durable repairs and construction.

4. Waterproofing Enhancer: MasterEmaco SBR 2 also serves as a waterproofing enhancer when added to cementitious mixes. It reduces the permeability of concrete and mortar, making them more resistant to water penetration and moisture-related damage. This waterproofing capability helps protect concrete structures from deterioration caused by freeze-thaw cycles, chloride ingress, and chemical exposure.

5. Versatility: MasterEmaco SBR 2 is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

   • Concrete repairs and structural rehabilitation
   • Bonding of concrete toppings, renders, and screeds
   • Waterproofing of basements, tunnels, and retaining walls
   • Protective coatings and overlays for concrete surfaces
   • Anchoring and grouting applications

6. Application: MasterEmaco SBR 2 can be applied by brush, roller, or spray onto prepared substrates as a bonding agent. It can also be added directly to cementitious mixes as a polymer modifier or waterproofing enhancer. Proper surface preparation and mixing procedures are essential to ensure optimal performance and adhesion.

7. Compatibility: MasterEmaco SBR 2 is compatible with various cementitious materials, including Portland cement, blended cement, fly ash, and silica fume. It can be used in combination with other admixtures and additives to achieve desired performance characteristics in concrete mixes and repair materials.
