ACRYL
®
60
LIQUID ADMIXTURE
To improve bonding and durability of cement-based materials.
Acryl
®
60 significantly improves adhesion, cohesion,
tensile, compressive, and flexural strengths of
cement-based materials. Will not re-emulsify when
exposed to water. Excellent chemical and UV resistance.
Improves freeze/thaw stability of Portland cement-based
materials. Acryl
®
60 can be used straight or be diluted with
water. Coverage will vary depending on application and
use.
Surface Preparation
Surface must be clean and sound. Remove all loose and
disintegrated material. Remove any and all traces of oil,
grease, dirt, dust, efflorescence, biological, mold or
mildew, release and curing agents. Vacuum, sweep or
blow out the areas to be patched with clean, oil free air.
Mixing
The normal ratio of Acryl
®
60 to clean potable water is 1
part Acryl
®
60 to 3 parts water (1:3). Where increased
physical and chemical resistance requirements are more
stringent, increase the Acryl
®
60 content in the mixing
liquid to a 1:2 or 1:1 Acryl
®
60 to water ratio. Always
mechanically mix. Do not overmix or mix at a high speed.
Application
Sand/Cement Mortar
Thoroughly mix all cement and sand first. The sand must
be clean, free of clay, and dry. Make up mixing liquid from
a 1:3 or 1:2 Acryl
®
60 water ratio depending upon
requirements. Slowly add the mixing liquid to the cement
sand mixture, and mix for a short time (1-2 minutes) to
avoid entrapping air. After preparing, cleaning, and
predampening the surface, brush apply a bond coat (not
diluted) of Acryl
®
60 modified cement sand. Mix
vigorously into the surface to displace any air pockets.
Place the mix into the bond coated repair area while the
bond coat is still wet or tacky. Maximum time for
placement should not exceed 20 minutes. Higher air and
surface temperatures will decrease working/placement
time. Place the mix and avoid overtroweling. The trowel
should be cleaned frequently, kept wet, and used with
minimal pressure. When drying is rapid, due to high
temperature or breeze, cover surface with wet burlap.
For normal use, allow a 24-hour curing period. For
heavy wheeled traffic, allow a 4-day curing period.
Limitations
• Do not use with air entrained cement.
• Do not use Acryl
®
60 where air circulation is limited.
• Do not use Acryl
®
60 modified mixes when the ambient
air or surface temperature is below 40°F (4°C) or
expected to fall below there within 48 hours.
• Make certain the most current version of the data guide
is being used; call 1 [phone] to verify.
Protect From Freezing
Prolonged freezing may damage contents. Frozen material
should be placed immediately in a warm spot to thaw, but
direct heat should not be applied. If Acryl
®
60 can be stirred
after thawing, bonding qualities have not been impaired.
