DESCRIPTION:
Slurry is a Styrene / Butadiene Copolymer Latex

SUMMARY:
Slurry is a Styrene / Butadiene Copolymer Latex that has been specifically designed as a latex admixture for use in cement compositions.
The use of Slurry as an admixture offers improved adhesion to substrate, toughness and
flexibility, resistance to certain chemicals, excellent water resistance, better resistance to frost as well as dust suppression.

FEATURES & BENEFITS
The addition of SLURRY confers numerous advantages over untreated mortars and
concretes, such
as:
1. Greatly improved adhesion to substrates, including dense impervious concrete
2. Excellent resistance to water and water vapour
3. Improved toughness and flexibility
4. Better resistance to frost
5. Improved resistance to certain chemicals
6. Diminishing dust

APPLICATIONS:
Cement compositions containing SLURRY are particularly useful in a number of applications
Some examples are:

1. Water-resistant rendering for interior or exterior walls or basements
2. Damp-resistant layers
3. Levelling floors prior to laying tiles, wood blocks, etc.
4. Patching and repairing concreted areas
5. Waterproof flat roofing and balconies
6. Industrial flooring, screeding and topping
7. Nosing for stairs indoors / outdoors
8. Flooring for dairies, food factories, fertilizer stores where improved chemical
resistance is required.

9. Lining of effluent ducts, tunnels and canals
10. Corrosion protection of steel reinforcing rods in concrete and of steel structures
11. Water-resistant adhesives for tiles, aggregates, glass, steel, etc.
12. Screeds for bathrooms and showers

Mixing:
Mixing procedure for mortars or concretes containing Slurry is similar to that used for
conventional compositions, gauging water being partly or completely replaced by
Slurry. The quantity of Slurry recommended will depend upon the application and is
normally from 9 to 18 liters per 50 kg of cement
The higher level of latex addition is used for thin screeds where maximum performance
is required; levels lower or higher than those quoted may be used in special
circumstances
The colour of latex-modified compositions may be a little darker than that of ordinary
compositions; if this is undesirable it can be simply remedied by including a proportion
of white cement. Typical examples of mortars are given in the appendix Portland,
High Alumina and certain fast setting cements are compatible with Slurry and have
Been successfully used

1. Water /cement ratio
Mortars containing Slurry will have a water /cement ratio slightly lower than
that for conventional mortars
2. Aggregate
Washed sharp sand, free from excessive fibers, should always be used in latex-modified
cement mortars. Where a very smooth surface is required a fine sand may be used, but
it is important to ensure that there are no very fine clay-like particles present
Many types of aggregate have been successfully used in Slurry modified compositions;
Typical examples are those conforming to the SABS 1090 - 1976 “Sand for plaster and
mortar” as well as granite chippings used in heavy duty flooring
3. Workability
The workability time is generally slightly increased by the addition of Slurry
In cold weather conditions (i.e. below 10º C) especially when it is also damp, it is
desirable to use a rapid or extra-rapid hardening cement
Alternatively, ordinary Portland cement may be used in conjunction with 2% - 4% of
calcium chloride (expressed on cement weight); the calcium chloride should be added
as a 50% solution in water to the mortar mix
4. Additives
Workability additives such as fly ash and lime are not necessary as Slurry exerts a
Considerable plasticising effect of it’s own
Air entraining agents should not be used without adequate testing
The addition of an anti-foaming agent may sometimes be desirable and we have found
that Nopco NDW added at the level of 20g per 5 liters of Slurry is an effective material
5. Cleaning of equipment
All tools should be cleaned immediately after use because hardened Slurry-modified
Cement compositions have excellent adhesion and are therefore difficult to remove
If this important precaution is overlooked, solvents such as white spirit, solvent naphtha
or preferably toluene can be useful in removing hardened latex-modified mortar.
