POLYMER MODIFIERS FOR CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS

The properties and uses of polymer modifiers suitable for cementitious patch repairs to concrete damaged by corroding reinforcement are described. Polymer modifiers available in New Zealand are listed and their relevant properties and manufacturers' recommendations for use compared. Handling characteristics and compressive strengths of a typical repair plaster mix modified with six different polymer emulsions and of a prepacked polymer-modified repair product are compared.
