Multi-Purpose Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) Latex for Bonding, Admixture & Surface Priming
Biokil Crown SBR Bonding Agent is a high-performance, water-based styrene-butadiene latex admixture used to enhance the performance of cementitious mixes and improve adhesion between surfaces. It is suitable for use as a bonding agent, primer, mortar additive, and waterproofing enhancer in rendering, screeding, and tanking applications. This versatile product increases flexibility, reduces shrinkage, and improves water and chemical resistance.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Improved Bond Strength: Enhances adhesion between cementitious materials and existing substrates.
-
Water Resistance: Significantly improves resistance to water and moisture ingress in tanking and waterproofing systems.
-
Increased Flexibility: Reduces cracking, shrinkage, and improves resistance to frost and vibration.
-
Multi-Purpose Use: Suitable for use in renders, screeds, repair mortars, tile adhesives, and slurry primers.
-
Internal & External Applications: Suitable for a wide range of cement-based construction and refurbishment uses.

Application Instructions
-
Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, sound, and free of oil, grease, or loose material.
-
Mixing: For bonding slurry, mix SBR with cement in a 1:1 to 1:2 ratio (by volume). For mortar or screed, replace part of the gauging water with diluted SBR.
-
Priming: Apply bonding slurry to the prepared surface and lay fresh mortar or render while tacky.
-
Curing: Protect from rapid drying and frost during the curing period.
Limitations
- Do not apply in temperatures below 5°C or to frozen surfaces.
- Not suitable for use as a standalone waterproofing system.
