Rheomix 157 Pds Asean 311209
SBR acrylic based bonding and polymer modifying agent for concrete and mortars
DESCRIPTION
EMACO 157 PRIMER is an aqueous emulsion of
styrene-butadiene copolymer latex, specially formulated
for use in cementitious mixtures to improve wear
resistance, durability, waterproofing and bonding
properties.
EMACO 157 PRIMER is also compatible with sulphateresisting or high alumina cement and gypsum plaster.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
EMACO 157 PRIMER is the ideal SBR-latex
recommended for use:
Water resistant
Excellent adhesion to concrete, steel and brick
High abrasion resistance
Good resistance to salts, mineral oils and many
other chemicals
Reduces bleeding
Greatly increased durability
High flexibility
Plasticizing effect and reduced shrinkage
Highly increased tensile strength
Non-toxic. Can be used in contact with potable
water
Improved corrosion protection
Lower water/cement ratio
Promotes high early strength in mortars

APPLICATION
Substrate Preparation
The substrate must be clean, sound and free of dust and
loose particles. Cement laitance, oil, grease, mould
release oil or curing compounds must be removed from
concrete surfaces by using gritblasting or other means.
Steel surfaces should be degreased with a suitable
solvent and/or treated by gritblasting or wire brushing
where necessary.
Steel rebars must also be clean from grease, oil or rust
and ideally treated by gritblasting. Corroded rebars
should be protected using Barrafer A (refer separate
data sheet). When repairing spalled or deteriorated
concrete, ensure that the concrete has been cut back to
sound material. In cases where corrosion is absent,
wire brushing to a clean bright surface is sufficient.
Before applying EMACO 157 PRIMER, be sure to prewet the concrete substrate thoroughly to saturate the
pores completely with water. During application of
EMACO 157 PRIMER , the temperature of the substrate
should not be below 5C. To avoid too high a surface
temperature, it is advisable to shade application areas.
Mixing
Stir well before use. Preferably, mixing should be done
in an efficient pan type mixer or by means of a low
speed drill with appropriate paddle. Hand mixing is not
recommended.
Application Method
Bonding slurry (priming) - Apply a slurry onto the still
damp substrate, consisting of 1 part EMACO 157
PRIMER and 1 part by volume of cement, mixed to a
lump-free creamy consistency. A stiff brush should be
used to work the bonding slurry well into the damp
surface. This slurry should not be applied in a thickness
exceeding approximately 2mm. The mortar must be
placed wet-on-wet. If the slurry does dry, a further slurry
coat must be applied.

PRECAUTIONS
CLEANING
Tools should be cleaned with water before the material
hardens.
SHELF LIFE
EMACO 157 PRIMER should be stored out of direct
sunlight. If kept in a dry place in tightly closed original
packing above freezing point, it has an 18 month shelf
life.
PACKAGING
Available in 20L pails and 200L or 205L drums. Please
refer to BASF Construction Chemicals local
representative.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Materials for EMACO 157 PRIMER modified mixtures:
Sand should be washed, well graded and free from
excessive fines.
Although EMACO 157 PRIMER is compatible with
high alumina cement, hardening will be delayed.
Always use fresh cement.
Expansion joints in the substrate must be carried
through the EMACO 157 PRIMER modified mixture.
EMACO 157 PRIMER modified mixtures should be
applied to damp, but never wet, surfaces. Where
running water is present, this must first be sealed
and plugged.
Do not over trowel and avoid re-trowelling of setting
mortar.
EMACO 157 PRIMER may float to the surface and
impair the adhesion of subsequently applied
materials.
Do not work at temperatures below 5C.
