®
Cicobond ACR is medium viscosity, fine particle
size acrylic polymer emulsion. It is designed to be
used in the building industry as a bonding agent
for cementitious mix and to enhance its
waterproofing properties.
®
Cicobond ACR has relatively high bonding
strength to concrete, which makes it essential part
of any successful patch repair.
®
Cicobond ACR could also be used as a curing
compound, especially for any repair that it was
used as bonding agent for.
Uses
 As a bonding agent for patch repair mortars.
 Bonding between old and new concrete if used
as a slurry with cement. (see applications)
 As an adhesive for a wide range of substrates,
including concrete, masonry brick, glass, metal,
wood, etc.
 As a curing compound.
 As an additive for some cementitious mortars,
where higher bonding is required like tiling and
heavy duty screed mortars.
Advantages
 Provides excellent bonding to concrete,
masonry, brick, plaster, and wood.
 Provides excellent water resistance.
 Provides long term durability on exterior
exposure.
 Provides superior freeze/thaw resistance.
 As an additive, it improves the physical and
mechanical characteristics of cementitious
mortars.
 Excellent curing compound.
 Increases abrasion and chemical resistance.

Application Instructions
Surface preparation
The surface must be clean, sound and free from
any loose material or dust. All surfaces to be
treated should be thoroughly washed with clean
water till saturation (SSD) condition.
Application method
As a bonding agent :
®
Cicobond ACR could be used as it is as a
bonding agent for patch repair, using either soft
hair brush, or hand sprayer.
The right time of applying repair mortar, is when it
is tacky, i.e. before tack free takes place.
Otherwise, it should be recoated again.
To extend its pot life especially in hot weather, it
could be mixed with cement to uniform slurry.
®
The mixing ratio is 1: 0.5:2-4 (Cicobond ACR:
water: cement) by volume, depending on the
required consistency.
As a curing compound:
®
Cicobond ACR could be used as a curing
compound, especially where high water proofing is
required, or when prepacked repair product is
used, to keep the maximum water content of the
®
mortar in action. Simply spray Cicobond ACR on
the finished surface within 20-30 min after
®
finishing. Cicobond ACR is used also as an oil
impermeable coating as well as high water proofer.
