Mortar reinforcing resin (latex)

By adding Sahand Shimi’s mortar reinforcement resin (latex) instead of part of the water in the cement-sand mortar, the adhesion, flexibility, and resistance of the mortar and cement-based adhesives to temperature fluctuations are significantly increased. This reinforced mortar has high strength against water and moisture and is much more durable against environmental conditions.

Does mortar reinforcement resin (latex) create a sealing property in mortar?

Sahand Shimi mortar reinforcement resin can be mixed with all cement-based compounds and, depending on different conditions, will reduce their permeability to an acceptable level.

For example, by combining this resin and Sahand Shimi jointing powders, joints between tiles and ceramics can be made largely waterproof.

However, as a standard, using this product as a 100% sealant is not a principle, and the only Sahand Shimi product for this purpose is a two-component sealant that can be used as an independent product.

Applications of Sahand Shimi’s mortar reinforcement resin (latex)

This resin is added to cement-based compounds in various proportions instead of part of the water and adds several properties to it, including:

Increasing the strength and adhesion strength of various types of cement-based powder tile adhesives
Increasing flexibility and reducing the possibility of mortar cracking
Waterproofing jointing in combination with jointing powder
In restoration mortars increases their adhesion strength and flexibility.

Calculating the required amount

The volume of mortar reinforcement resin (latex) used depends greatly on its intended use and performance. Typically, the amount of this product is 15% of the weight of the cement in the mortar mix design (this amount is calculated as 35% of the powder weight for mixing with jointing powder).

How to prepare mortar reinforcement resin (latex)

The required amount of Sahand Shimi mortar reinforcement resin (latex) is poured into a container with a suitable capacity, and then the powder part is added to it slowly while mixing with an electric mixer. Mixing continues until a uniform and homogeneous mortar is achieved.

Application temperature and workability time

The best application temperature for Sahand Shimi mortar reinforcement resin (latex) is between 5 and 40 degrees Celsius.

Setting time

Adding Sahand Shimi mortar reinforcement resin (latex) to the desired mixture reduces its setting time somewhat.

Expiration Date and Storage Conditions

Sahand Shimi’s mortar reinforcement resin (latex) can be used for up to one year if stored in its packaging and away from direct sunlight and freeze-thaw cycles.
