How do you remove BondCrete?

As surface sealers bond to the surface of the concrete, the presence of old sealer can impede that adhesion process. The easiest way to remove a concrete sealer is to begin by acid etching the surface of the concrete with muriatic acid.

Will BondCrete stop rising damp?

Bondall Dampcourse additive offers a permanent solution to rising damp. Add Bondall Dampcourse should be used at the rate of (1 litre: 40 kg cement).

Does concrete stick to waterproofing?

When waterproofing concrete isn’t enough The concrete is then poured on top of the membrane, forming a bond to keep water and moisture out. For example, if gaps form due to ground settlement, the waterproof membrane should remain affixed to the concrete.

What are the ingredients of BondCrete?

Beddings up to 6mm – 1 part cement: 2 part fine sand Beddings over 6mm – 1 part cement: 3 part fine sand Mixed to a workable consistency with BondCrete admix (BondCrete 1:water 4) in place of normal water.

Does adding PVA to cement make it waterproof?

PVA in Cement and Mortar PVA can be added to a cement mortar mix to give the mix a) slightly better waterproofing qualities and b) advanced adhesion to the surface it is applied to. Painting a coat of PVA on the surface before the cement mortar is applied can even further increase this adhesion.

Can I use BondCrete to seal grout?

Bondall BondCrete for Tile Grouting Any Bedding Mix not used within 45 minutes of mixing should be discarded. Any Bedding Mix or grout containing BondCrete must be cleaned off the face of the tile before it dries. Floor tiles must be applied on full beddings only.

Is PVA waterproof?

The main use of PVA glue is as a wood glue. Although most PVA glues used industrially are water resistant to grade 2, which means they can sustain several cycles of soaking/drying without having the glue fail, they are NOT Waterproof.

What is a concrete bonding agent?

Concrete bonding agents are natural or synthetic materials used to join the old and new concrete surfaces. This agent can also be used to join the successive concrete layers. This chemical helps to allow different concrete surfaces to behave like a single unit.

Is there a sealer for concrete?

There are two main types of concrete sealers: film-forming sealers and penetrating sealers. Film-forming sealers include acrylics, epoxies, and urethanes that form a coating on the surface of the concrete. Film-forming sealers, especially acrylics, are more susceptible to wear and will need to be reapplied frequently.

Can you mix BondCrete with render?

Notes: Unless specified, the suggested render mix is 2.5 – 3 parts sand, 1 part cement mix to a workable consistency with diluted BondCrete Admixture.

How do I get a slurry for SBR?

Prepare the base thoroughly and apply a bonding slurry. The materials should be mixed to a semi-dry consistency and applied into a wet bonding slurry at a thickness of 25mm. For floor toppings above 25mm reduce the SBR to 5 litres and add extra water to produce a semi-dry mix. Protect from frost.

How do you use Hydrocrete?

Use Hydrocrete as admixture (1 part Hydrocrete: 1 part water) in the topping/patching mixture in place of normal water. BOND COAT FOR USE OVER GLASS GLAZED TILES, STEEL OR DENSE CONCRETE: Apply a brush coat of (1 part Hydrocrete: 1 part cement) by volume. Allow the coating to dry.

Will Xylene remove water-based sealer?

Water-based concrete sealers can be removed through chemical etching, aggressive pressure washing or mechanical scarification. Start by removing any visible peeling and flaking and use a solvent-based stripper such as Xylene to remove the previous sealer.

What does Xylene do to concrete sealer?

The Xylene will quickly open the sealer up and allow the moisture to escape, causing the sealer to dry a clear color. You likely won’t need to apply any more sealer to areas that are just sprayed.

Can you use a water-based sealer over a solvent based sealer?

If it was a water-based sealer, then you can safely reseal using either a solvent-based or water-based sealer. If a solvent-based sealer was originally used, you’ll want to reseal using a solvent-based sealer. A water-based sealer cannot be applied on top of a solvent-based sealer.
