Primary benefits
Improves bonding and cohesion; supports more durable, less porous cementitious repairs and overlays in compatible systems.

Lead time depends on lane & volume
Grade selection typically depends on solids content, viscosity, intended use (bond coat vs. mortar modifier), substrate condition, and site temperature/humidity.
Site note: Acrylic latex modifiers are commonly chosen where water resistance and durability are important. Share your substrate condition and repair/overlay method so we can align the correct acrylic profile.
Product overview
Acrylic latex bonding agents are used as polymer modifiers and bonding aids in cementitious systems. In compatible repairs, overlays, and screeds, they can improve adhesion to prepared substrates, enhance cohesion and workability, and support improved durability characteristics under service conditions.
How it’s used
As a bonding slurry/bond coat and/or as a polymer modifier in repair mortar, screed, render, and topping mixes.
Selection drivers
Solids %, viscosity, film properties, site temperature/humidity, and compatibility with cement and admixtures.
Note: Final performance depends on substrate preparation, mix design, and curing. Validate by trial areas and site QA/QC.
Applications
Typical usage patterns. Tell us your process and constraints and we’ll align the right specification.
- Bonding slurry (cement + acrylic latex) for concrete-to-concrete repairs
- Polymer-modified repair mortars and patching systems
- Cementitious overlays and toppings (project dependent)
- Screeds and renders requiring improved adhesion and durability
- General adhesion improvement in compatible cementitious mixes
Bond coat use
Used as a cementitious slurry to promote bonding between prepared substrate and repair/overlay material.
Mortar modifier use
Added to mixing water to improve cohesion and adhesion in polymer-modified cementitious mortars.
Where it’s common
Refurbishment work, patching, overlays, and durability-driven repairs (compatibility dependent).
Use guidance & operational notes
Practical notes for engineering, site teams, and procurement alignment.
Bond coat timing
Apply repair/overlay mortar while the bonding slurry is still tacky/wet (common practice). Avoid letting the bond coat fully dry unless specified by your method.
Mix consistency
Solids % and dilution affect viscosity and workability. Align with your method statement and confirm by trial mixes.
Surface preparation
Remove laitance, dust, oils, and weak layers. Roughen as required. Good prep is often the biggest driver of bond performance.
Curing
Cementitious systems still require appropriate curing. Protect from rapid drying, heat, and wind to reduce shrinkage cracking.
Compatibility
Confirm compatibility with other admixtures (water reducers, accelerators, fibers) and cement chemistry via trial mixes.
Storage & handling
Protect from freezing and extreme heat (grade dependent). Follow SDS for PPE, storage, and disposal guidance.
Safety note: For industrial/construction use. Follow SDS for handling, PPE, storage, and disposal. Always comply with site requirements and local regulations.
Typical specifications & formats
Values depend on grade and customer requirements. Confirm details on quotation and COA.

Indicative procurement specification (example)
This is a common procurement/QC format. Exact limits should be confirmed in your RFQ and via the supplied COA/TDS.
| Parameter | Typical listing (indicative) | Commercial / QC note |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Bonding Agent (Acrylic Latex) | Specify bond coat vs. mortar modifier vs. overlay |
| Form | Liquid latex emulsion | Confirm viscosity range for application method |
| Solids content | Grade dependent | Request solids % and test method on TDS/COA |
| Packaging | Drum / IBC / bulk | Define net weight, palletization, storage constraints |
| Documentation | SDS / COA (TDS as available) | State required language/format and onboarding templates |
| Storage | Protect from freezing / extreme heat (grade dependent) | Confirm shelf life and storage temperature range |
If your project requires specific tests (bond strength, water absorption, durability), include them in the RFQ so we can align grade selection and documentation.
Specifications may vary depending on batch, origin, and packaging selection.
FAQ
Quick answers for site, engineering, and procurement.
Is acrylic latex used as a bonding coat or mixed into mortar?
Both are common. Acrylic latex can be used in a cement slurry as a bonding coat and/or as a polymer modifier in the repair/overlay mortar itself. Share your method statement so we can align solids/viscosity and offer format.
Why choose acrylic latex vs. other polymers?
Acrylic-modified systems are often selected for durability and water resistance goals, depending on project requirements and compatibility. The “best” choice is application-specific—tell us your constraints and standard.
What information helps you quote fastest?
Use case (bond coat vs. mortar modifier), solids/viscosity preference (if any), packaging, volume, destination + Incoterms, and document requirements (SDS/COA/TDS).
What matters most for adhesion performance?
Surface preparation (sound substrate, roughness, cleanliness) and curing practices are often the biggest drivers. Polymer grade selection and compatibility also matter—validate by trials.
How should it be stored and handled?
Storage requirements vary by grade, but protection from freezing and excessive heat is commonly important. Follow the SDS for PPE and handling guidance.
