StuccoBond
Non-rewettable latex bonding agent and admixture
Stucco-Bond is a non-rewettable copolymer latex bonding agent and admixture, specifically formulated for bonding fresh concrete, stucco, mortar, or plaster in patching, plastering, and topping applications. It is designed to improve the adhesion and durability of concrete, masonry, stucco, terrazzo, plaster, and Portland cement-sand mixes to both horizontal and vertical surfaces.
- Excellent Bond Strength: Ensures strong adhesion of stucco and mortar to existing surfaces.
- High Viscosity: Provides optimal performance for smoother applications.
- Enhances Material Properties: Increases flexural strength, bond strength, and impact resistance, minimizing cracks in the applied materials.
- Non-Rewettable: Ensures durability once set, particularly suitable for environments without continuous moisture exposure.
- VOC Compliant: Meets environmental standards with a VOC content of less than 50 grams per liter.
- Visual Application Aid: Comes with a blue tint for easy visual inspection during application, also available in white.
Application
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, structurally sound, and free of any contaminants such as laitance, grease, or oil. A mechanically abraded profile is recommended for optimal bonding.
- Mixing and Application: Agitate well before use. Apply undiluted Stucco-Bond at a rate of 250 sq-ft per gallon using a brush, roller, or sprayer. For spray applications, ensure the product is worked into the substrate to form a continuous film.
- Admixture Use: Dilute 1 to 1 with potable water for use as an admixture with sand/cement mixes, adjusting the proportion to achieve desired consistency.
Packaging
- Available in 55 gallon drums, 5 gallon pails, and 1 gallon jugs (4 per case).
Shelf Life
- Store in a cool, dry place in the original tightly closed container. Stucco-Bond has a shelf life of 1 year from the date of manufacture. Protect from freezing.
Standards
- ASTM C1059 – Latex Agents for Bonding Fresh to Hardened Concrete, Type I.
