Consumption
- 5 kg of SikaLatex® KH per mix batch across all application types
- Yield varies by application – refer to dosage table above
Application Steps
- Mixing: Mix SikaLatex® KH with the correct amount of water to produce a gauging solution (refer to dosage table for ratios).
- Pour part of the gauging solution into a suitable mixing container.
- While stirring slowly, add the cement-sand mix to the gauging solution and mix thoroughly until a smooth, uniform, lump-free consistency is achieved.
- Add additional gauging solution as needed during mixing to adjust to the desired consistency.
- As Bonding Agent: Apply the SikaLatex® KH gauging solution (1:1 with water) to the prepared substrate by brush. Apply the fresh mortar onto the bonding coat while it is still wet.
