Nottefix LATEX
Description
NOTTEFIX LATEX is a synthetic rubber-latex based mortar additive that prevents cracking for cement-based plaster and repair mortars, increases the chemical resistance and strength of the mortars, provides impermeability and high adherence to the surface where it is applied and creates a strong and permanent bond.
Usage Areas
- Adherence additive in repair mortars for damaged concrete surfaces and plasters.
- Contribution to water impermeability and adherence in plaster mortars for internal and external plasters.
- Abrasion-resistant additive in coating mortars for laying natural stone and brick.
- Adherence enhancer in ceramic and mosaic adhesive mortars.
- Adhesive between old and fresh concrete to prevent cold joint formation and ensure adhesion.
- Bond reinforcing additive in shotcrete for bonding, adherence, and insulation between old and new layers.
Characteristics
- NOTTEFIX LATEX liquid material increases the mechanical strength (pressure, bending, impact, wear) of mixed mortar.
- It reduces shrinkage and prevents cracks.
- It enhances impermeability and flexibility.
- It improves resistance to freeze-thaw cycles.
- It remains unaffected by high alkali environments.
- It is non-corrosive, chlorine-free, and does not harm reinforcements.
- It ensures adherence of mortar to various surfaces such as concrete, glass, metal, wood, and foam.
- It enhances the durability of the structure against chemicals and external factors.
- It provides insulation and adherence between layers in shotcrete applications.
Application Method
- To increase adherence of old concrete to new concrete or as a sprinkling before plastering:
- Mix 1 kg of cement with 3 kg of sand.
- Mix 1 kg of NOTTEFIX LATEX with 2 kg of water.
- Combine the powder and liquid mixtures to achieve a dense consistency.
- Apply the prepared mixture with a brush on the surface that was wetted 2 hours ago, forming a 2 mm thickness.
- Plaster, screed, or concrete can be applied within 20 minutes before the mortar dries.
- For sprinkling before plastering, quickly sprinkle the prepared mortar on the concrete surface using a trowel.
- To increase water impermeability in plaster:
- Prepare a dry mixture by adding 150 kg of sand to 50 kg of cement.
- Pour 30 kg of NOTTEFIX LATEX into a clean container.
- Add 120 kg of water and mix thoroughly to achieve a homogeneous mixture.
- The ratio of NOTTEFIX LATEX to water can range from 1:1 to 1:4.
- Mix the prepared dry mortar with the liquid mixture.
- Start applying the mixture using a trowel.
Consumption
- 0.100 – 0.250 kg/m² in brush, roller applications
- 0.150 – 0.250 kg/m² in spraying applications (When applied directly to the surface)
Packaging and Storage
- 5-10-20-30 kg Plastic drums.
- In its original packaging, in dry, protected and ventilated environments at +10°C / +30°C, when stored protected from sun, rain and frost, its shelf life is 12 months from the date of production.
Safety Precautions
- During application and mixing, contact of the material with the skin and eyes should be prevented, and in case of contact, it should be washed with plenty of water.
- In case of contact with eyes, they should be washed immediately with plenty of water and medical assistance should be obtained.
- Gloves, protective clothing / mask / goggles should be used during use.
