SURFACE PREPARATION
Concrete substrates must be suitably prepared using mechanical or abrasive blast cleaning
techniques such as scabbling, needle gunning, grit blasting and to provide a clean, sound
surface free of laitance, surface contaminants such as oil and grease and loosely adhering particles.
MIXING
E.M.BOND should be mechanically mixed using a forced action mixer or in a clean drum using a drill and paddle.
A normal concrete mixer is NOT suitable.Mix E.M.BOND with water to produce a gauging solution in the correct ratio for 90 seconds.
Add gauging solution to cement/aggregate mix until desired consistency is achieved.
APPLICATION
The prepared substrate should be thoroughly soaked with clean water until uniformly saturated leaving no standing water.
Always apply mix “wet on wet” onto bonding bridge/coat. Re-apply if surface dries.
Typically in order to modify mortars the recommended consumption level of E.M.BOND is 15-20% of cement weight
