E.M. BOND

SURFACE PREPARATION

Concrete substrates must be suitably prepared using mechanical or abrasive blast cleaning techniques such as scabbling, needle gunning, grit blasting and to provide a clean, sound surface free of laitance, surface contaminants such as oil and grease and loosely adhering particles.

MIXING

E.M. BOND should be mechanically mixed using a forced action mixer or in a clean drum using a drill and paddle. A normal concrete mixer is NOT suitable. Mix E.M. BOND with water to produce a gauging solution in the correct ratio for 90 seconds. Add gauging solution to cement/aggregate mix until desired consistency is achieved.

• Reduced shrinkage and cracking.
• Reduced permeability.
• Improved workability.
• Improved mechanical properties.
• Improved resistance to freeze/thaw.
• High adhesion
• Just add water.
• Water based.
• Solvent free.
• Non toxic.
• Chloride free.
• Non flammable.
• Compatible with all cement types.
• Economical

APPLICATION
The prepared substrate should be thoroughly soaked with clean water until uniformly saturated leaving no standing water. Always apply mix &ldquo wet on wet&rdquoonto bonding bridge/coat. Re-apply if surface dries.
Typically in order to modify mortars the recommended consumption level of E.M. BOND is 15-20% of cement weight.
FIELD OF APPLICATION
E.M. BOND is added to water then mixed with cement and sand/aggregate to produce:
Bond coat/slurry.
Renders.
Screeds with enhanced mechanical properties.
Repair of damaged or spalled concrete.

HEALTH &SAFETY

• E.M. BOND is non-toxic but is alkaline in its nature. When applying gloves &goggles should be worn. Wash off splashes to skin with water. If in eyes wash out with plenty of clean water and seek medical attention. E.M. BOND is non-flammable. MSDS is available from Abadgaran
