ASIAN PAINTS SMART CARE MULTI PURPOSE POLYMER, Bucket

91 000 74051 SmartCare Multi-Purpose Polymer A high-performance, acrylic emulsion-based liquid polymer admixture. It is a versatile bonding agent and modifier used to significantly enhance the properties of cement-based products like tile adhesives, mortars, and plasters.Primary Function: To act as a powerful binder that increases adhesion, flexibility, and water resistance in cement mixes, making them suitable for demanding applications like heavy tile cladding and repair work.Key Features & Benefits:Superior Adhesion: Dramatically improves the bond strength and slip resistance of tile adhesives.Enhanced Flexibility: Adds flexibility to mortars and putties, preventing cracks due to movement or vibration.Water Resistance: Makes mixes waterproof and reduces water absorption.Impact Resistance: Improves the durability of the material against shocks.Versatile: Has multiple uses beyond tile adhesives, including as a bonding agent and in repair mortars.Questions & Answers (Q&A)Q1: What is the main mixing ratio for tile adhesives?A: The standard ratio is 5 Liters of Polymer for every 30 kg bag of tile adhesive. First, mix the polymer with 2-3 liters of water, then add the adhesive powder while stirring.Q2: Can it be used for other purposes?A: Yes, it is highly versatile.Repair Mortar: Add 5% of the polymer by weight of cement to a 1:3 cement-sand mix.Crack-Free Putty: Mix putty and polymer in a 2:1 ratio.Bonding Slurry: Mix Cement : Polymer : Water in a 2:1:0.5 ratio by weight.Waterproof Slurry: Use the same 2:1:0.5 ratio for coating parapet walls.Q3: What surfaces can it be used on?A: It is designed for masonry surfaces (concrete, brick, plaster). It must not be used directly on wood or metal surfaces.Q4: How long should I wait before grouting?A: Wait for at least 24 hours after fixing the tiles before grouting.Q5: What are the safety precautions?A:Wear eye protection and gloves.Avoid inhalation of vapour or dust during surface preparation.Keep out of reach of children.Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly closed.Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for detailed information.Q6: What is the coverage area for the bonding slurry?A:As a bond coat: ~100 sq. ft. per liter for 1 coat.As a slurry coating: ~50 sq. ft. per liter for 2 coats.
