7. FAQ: Professional Terminology Explained
Q1: What is a mortar bonding agent and how does it work?
A mortar bonding agent is a specialized additive (usually liquid polymer such as SBR latex) mixed into masonry mortar or concrete to improve adhesion, especially on old, smooth, or dense substrates. It works by forming chemical bonds and micro-mechanical interlocks, greatly increasing tensile, flexural, and shear strength.
Q2: What is the role of a latex bonding agent?
Latex bonding agent refers to a milky emulsion (often SBR or acrylic polymer) that improves workability, impact resistance, and water impermeability in cementitious mortars, making it ideal for repairs and overlays.
Q3: What parameters define high-quality cement adhesive additives?
Key parameters include bond strength (>2 MPa ASTM C1042), flexibility (crack bridging >1.5 mm), set time (≥90 min), compressive strength retention, and low volatility—validated by ISO/ASTM testing.
Q4: What is the typical application standard for EIFS bonding agents?
Application standards include ANSI A118.4 (mortar adhesives for exterior insulation), ISO 1920 (cementitious overlays), and must be compatible with EN 1348 for tile adhesion in façade engineering.
Q5: How is the life expectancy of a mortar bonding agent determined?
Life expectancy is assessed via accelerated weathering, thermal cycling (-20/+40°C, 50 cycles), water immersion, and pull-off strength retention (≥80%, 10 years), plus independent site monitoring.
Q6: Which installation standards are respected for optimal performance?
All installations should follow ACI 503.1 and EN 998-2 site protocols, ensuring substrate cleanliness, recommended dosages, and suitable curing (48–72 hours, 20°C RH60%).
Q7: What are the storage and shelf life guidelines?
Store in sealed, moisture-proof packaging at 5–40°C. Shelf life is 12–18 months. Conforms to ISO 16106 shipping/packaging standards; batch code traceability keeps QC robust.
