FORCEAQUA LATEX
SYNTHETIC RUBBER BASED LIQUID ADDITIVE THAT PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY AND WATER INSULATION

$forceaqua-latex$

DESCRIPTION
It is an acrylic resin-based liquid cement admixture that is used to increase the strength and flexibility for cement-based mortars.

APPLICATION AREAS

Inside and outside places, horizontal and vertical application
Ceramic, ceramic tile, granite, glass mosaic cementing and as a dopant for applications that made on ceramic
In swimming pool cementing, waterproofing needed roofs, dopant for thermal insulation panel cementing
As a dopant for self-levelling mortars, repairing mortars, cladding of surfaces that are suitable for contraction and cracking

POINTS TO CONSIDER

It is not applied on wood, OSB, PVC, bitumen surfaces, painted and metal surfaces.
It should not be used on surfaces that may freeze in 24 hours.
Application under direct sunlight and strong winds should be avoided. Application must be done when the surface temperature is between +5°C and +25°C. After applying on external surfaces, the surface should be protected from sunlight, rain, wind and freeze for 24 hours. After applying on the surface, the surface should be protected from warm, dry and windy environments for 24-48 hours and from quick drying by wet bags or water.
Forcechem® Forceaqua Latex shortens the life of cement mortar due to its strong chemical properties as additive.
Using protective gloves during application is recommended. For further information, please obtain the material safety data sheet from the manufacturer.

ADVANTAGES

It is compatible with cement.
It provides adherence.
It has a high freeze-thaw resistance.
It increases the deflexion and compressive strength of mortar.
It increases the adherence strength of the mortar.
It adds elastic property.

SURFACE PREPARATION
According to using materials, the surface preparation should be done beforehand. Generally, the cement surfaces should be cleaned from dust, oil, etc. that would obstruct a clean and sturdy mortar application. The broken and loose pieces on the using surface should be cleared away and repaired quickly.

USAGE

Forcechem® Forceaqua Latex is mixed at suggested amount of mixture and consistency of application with cement-based mortars, plasters, repairing mortars, grouting and floor screed. In flexible grouting applications mixture ratio depends on worker’s skill. The mixture ratios shall not be outside of the mixture amount. Otherwise it will show performance reducing effect instead of performance enhancing affect.

MIXING RATIOS AND CONSUMPTION

Forceaqua Latex Consumption Amount
Application	Performance	Mixing Ratio
Tiles Adhesion	Especially for increasing the strength and adherence against tough weather conditions in external applications	2 kg Forcechem® Forceaqua Latex + 5 kg water + 25 kg adhesion mortar
Granite-Marble Adhesion	Increasing the adhesion strength against tough weather conditions in external high-floor applications	1,5 kg Forcechem® Forceaqua Latex + 5,5 kg water + 25 adhesion mortar
Glass- Mosaic Adhesion	Increasing the adhesion strength of glass mosaics for better adhesion in wet and mobile surfaces	1,5 kg Forcechem® Forceaqua Latex + 5,5 kg water + 25 kg adhesion mortar
Heat Insulated Panel Application	Increasing the adhesion and resistance of XPS, EPS and rock wool panels that will be used as heat insulators in external heat insulated	2 kg Forcechem® Forceaqua Latex + 5 kg water + 25 kg adhesion mortar
Pool Applications	To increase adhesion in wet surfaces for coatings, and to provide adhesion to wet surfaces and water insulation in wet environments	2 kg Forcechem® Forceaqua Latex + 5 kg water + 25 kg adhesion mortar (Not appropriate for water insulation for coating.)
Self-Spreading Cement Finish	To obtain more flexible and strength surface mortar by decreasing elastic module in cement finished that are used under heavy traffic	1 kg Forcechem® Forceaqua Latex + 6 kg water + 25 kg grading cement finish
