LATEX BASE ADHESIVE GROUT FOR FINISHING CONCRETE STRUCTURES

PAINTING OF CONCRETE SURFACES WITH LATEX BASE ADHESIVE GROUT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY USED FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS IN SEVERAL HIGHWAY DISTRICTS IN TEXAS. LATEX BASE ADHESIVE GROUT IS A MIXTURE OF SAND, CEMENT, WATER AND A BONDING MATERIAL. THE BONDING MATERIAL IS AN EMULSION OF TINY PATRICLES OF INTERNALLY PLASTICIZED HIGH POLYMER RESINS UNIFORMLY DISPRESED IN WATER. WHEN MIXED WITH SAND, CEMENT AND WATER IN THE PROPER PROPORTIONS, IT FORMS A HIGHLY ADHESIVE AND WATER-RESISTANT BOND. THE SURFACE TO BE PAINTED IS DAMPENED AND THEN THE GROUT IS APPLIED. IT HAS PROVEN TO BE VERY DURABLE AND ATTRACTIVE FINISH FOR CONCRETE STRUCTURES.
