How to Use Feb Febond SBR Bond Waterproof Bonding Agent 25 Litre Drum:

Priming and Sealing:

1. Prepare the surface by ensuring it is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose materials.
2. Dilute Febond SBR Bond with water, typically at a ratio of 1 part SBR to 4 parts water for priming and sealing applications.
3. Apply the diluted solution evenly using a brush, roller, or spray to the substrate.
4. Allow the primed surface to dry thoroughly before applying subsequent layers, such as paint, plaster, or adhesive.
5. For additional sealing strength, a second coat can be applied once the first coat has dried.

Bonding Agent:

1. Clean the substrate to remove any contaminants that could affect adhesion.
2. Apply Febond SBR Bond undiluted to the surface using a brush or roller.
3. Allow the SBR to become tacky (but not fully dry) before applying the next material, such as screeds, renders, or tiles.
4. For very porous surfaces, consider applying a second coat to ensure complete coverage and optimal adhesion.

Admixture:

1. Add Febond SBR Bond directly to cementitious materials such as mortar, screeds, or renders to enhance their performance.
2. Follow the recommended mixing ratio provided in the product instructions, typically around 5–10% of the total volume of the mix.
3. Mix thoroughly to ensure the SBR Bond is evenly distributed throughout the material.
4. Apply the enhanced material as required, ensuring it is worked into place while fresh. This helps prevent cracking, shrinkage, and surface degradation.

Waterproofing Applications:

1. For areas requiring additional water resistance, use Febond SBR Bond as part of a cementitious slurry or render system.
2. Combine the SBR Bond with cement and fine aggregate to create a water-resistant coating or mix.
3. Apply the mix to the prepared substrate using a trowel or brush, ensuring even coverage.
4. Allow the waterproof layer to cure fully before exposing it to moisture or applying additional coatings.

General Tips for Best Results:

• Always follow the manufacturer's recommended dilution ratios and mixing instructions to achieve optimal performance.
• For high-porosity substrates, consider multiple coats to ensure complete priming or sealing.
• Allow sufficient drying time between applications, especially in damp or humid conditions.
• Clean tools immediately after use with water to prevent the SBR Bond from drying on brushes, rollers, or mixing equipment.

By following these steps, you can ensure the Feb Febond SBR Bond Waterproof Bonding Agent delivers professional-grade results for your construction or renovation projects.

FAQs Feb Febond SBR Bond Waterproof Bonding Agent – 25 Litre Drum

1. What makes Febond SBR Bond different from other bonding agents?
Specifically formulated with Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) to deliver superior water resistance, flexibility, and adhesion. Unlike traditional PVAs, it offers enhanced performance in both damp and dry environments, making it particularly suitable for applications that demand long-term durability and moisture resistance. Its unique composition ensures it performs exceptionally well as a bonding agent, primer, sealer, and admixture for cement-based materials.

2. Can Febond SBR Bond be used for outdoor applications?
Yes, its highly effective for outdoor use. It is designed to withstand exposure to moisture and variable weather conditions, making it ideal for exterior walls, patios, driveways, and more. However, while it is water-resistant, it should be paired with appropriate waterproofing systems for areas with heavy or prolonged water exposure.

3. How does it improve the performance of mortar and screeds?
When added as an admixture, Febond SBR Bond enhances the workability, flexibility, and strength of mortar, screeds, and renders. It reduces the risk of shrinkage and cracking, increases adhesion to the substrate, and helps the material resist wear and environmental stress. This makes it perfect for applications requiring robust and long-lasting finishes.

4. Can Febond SBR Bond be used for waterproofing applications?
Yes, it is ideal for waterproofing when used in conjunction with cementitious slurries or renders. Its ability to resist water penetration makes it perfect for areas such as basements, wet rooms, and external walls. For best results, combine it with cement and fine aggregate to create a water-resistant mix or layer.

5. What are the recommended mixing ratios for use as an admixture?
The mixing ratio depends on the specific application. As a general guideline, it is recommended to add approximately 5–10% of SBR Bond by volume to the total mix. Always refer to the product instructions for precise ratios tailored to your task, whether it’s mortar, screeds, or renders.

6. How should it be applied as a primer or sealer?
To use Febond SBR Bond as a primer or sealer, dilute it with water in a ratio of approximately 1 part SBR Bond to 4 parts water. Apply this diluted solution evenly to the substrate using a brush, roller, or spray. Allow it to dry completely before applying additional layers such as paint, tiles, or plaster.

7. Is it suitable for bonding new materials to old concrete or masonry?
Absolutely. it is highly effective at bonding new materials, such as screeds or renders, to existing concrete or masonry substrates.
