PART 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BULL-BOND® SABAKRETE™ is a liquid solution of synthetic rubber that is
non re-emulsifiable and highly water resistant. This premium water-based
latex is added to cementitious mixes and/or used as a bonding adhesive
to achieve permanent adhesion to concrete surfaces and to greatly im-
prove the properties of Portland cement based mixes. The polymer cement
modification with SABAKRETE™ is ideal for concrete roof leveling, creating
auxiliary slopes for proper drainage, resurfacing, bonding slurries, struc-
tural concrete repair, water-tight plastering of submerged concrete surfac-
es, thin-layer toppings, thin-set mortars, screeds, renders and to repair
irregular, deteriorated and delaminated concrete. The benefits obtained
by using SABAKRETE™ as an admix include a major increase in bond
strength, outstanding water resistance, fast curing, vibration resistance,
very low water permeability, higher tensile and flexural strengths, improved
abrasion resistance, extreme durability in harsh environments, resistance
to radical thermal fluctuations and chemical resistance. SABAKRETE™
can also be used as a non-rewetable bonding adhesive for the application
of cementitious mixes over existing concrete surfaces. This type of use is
ideal for surfaces with frequent exposure to water and for general exterior
applications. SABAKRETE™ is a concentrated product and must be dilut-
ed with water before use. Meets ASTM C-1059 Type II, ASTM C-932 and
ANSI A-118.4.
1.2 BASIC USES:
• Applications:
>> Cement modifying latex polymer admixture that increases perfor-
mance of:
- Bonding Slurries
- Scratch Coats
- Repair Mortars
- Patching Mixes
- Resurfacing Mortars
- Thin-Layer Toppings
- Thin-Set Mortars
- Screeds
- Renders
- Water-Tight Plasters
>>Waterproof bonding agent
• Common Practices:
- Concrete roof leveling and auxiliary sloping for proper drainage
- Repair of irregular, deteriorated and delaminated concrete surfaces
- As an adhesive medium to bond toppings,overlays and patches - to
old concrete
- Water-tight plastering of exterior walls, basements, tunnels, water -
storage tanks, pools and fountains
- Protect steel reinforced concrete built in/or adjacent to salt water
BULL-BOND® SABAKRETE™ is suitable for interior, exterior and sub-
merged conditions on vertical and horizontal surfaces for the previously
mentioned applications.
1.3 SUITABLE SUBSTRATES:

1.4 ADVANTAGES:
- Promotes superior adhesion and bond strength
- Bonds new modified concrete to existing concrete surfaces
- Improves tensile strength
- Improves flexural strength
- Improves abrasion resistance
- Excellent water resistance
- Non re-emulsifiable polymer
- Water reducer
- Increases durability, service life and weatherability
- Fast curing
- Reduces water permeability
- Corrosion protection
- Chemical resistance
- Concentrated – dilutes with water
- Water-based
- Non-toxic
1.5 LIMITATIONS:
• Excessive sun exposure should be avoided during application and for a
minimum of 1 hour immediately after application.
• Avoid walking on installed surface for at least 24 hours after installation,
depending upon temperature and humidity conditions.
• Never install over non-dimensionally stable materials.
• Over watering can cause mixture to segregate resulting in uneven sur-
face strengths. Surfaces with reduced strength must be removed mechan-
ically.
• The minimum dosage rate for SABAKRETE™ to improve the properties of
cementitious mixes is with a polymer/cement ratio of 8% (0.08).
• SABAKRETE™ is non re-emulsifiable, if used as a bonding agent the
application of the cementitious overlay must be done before the product is
cured to avoid bond breakage.
• Product testing was performed with Portland cement Type 1. Compatibil-
ity with fast setting cements must be verified before use.
