Refer to the Dulux Acratex Application Manual for detailed application instructions.
Dulux Acratex AcraBond is applied to all commonly used masonry substrates to either control excessive surface suction or to act as a bonding agent to very low absorbent surfaces.
Dulux Acratex AcraBond is used as part of the gauging (mixing) water of Portland cement mixture and Acratex RenderWall especially in thin bed application of 4 - 6mm.
Typical uses:
Off Form Concrete- bonding agent (low absorption surfaces). Apply a mixture of 1 part AcraBond to 2 parts water followed by a thin bed 4mm coat of RenderWall. Apply a 'Dash or Splash coat' over the AcraBond primed Off Form Concrete for a 5mm + coat(s) of 500/4 RenderWall.
High Absorbency Surfaces- (to control excessive suction). Apply a mixture of 1 part AcraBond to 4 parts clean water prior to the application of RenderWall or other cement renders.
Dash or Splash Coat
Mix 1part Acrabond to 4 parts clean water , into this solution add 1 part fresh Portland Cement and 2 parts RenderWall.
Mix to a pourable slurry consistency. Apply by splashing or spraying to the surface with a 70% coverage .
Curing Time Enhancer- Add AcraBond at a rate of 1 part AcraBond to 8 parts water for RenderWall coats that are to be coated with an AcraTex System after 72 hours cure time.
