POOL BONDING LIQUID CEMCRETE FLEX BOND 5LT
Product Description
The Cemcrete FlexBond 5L is a premium bonding liquid designed to enhance the performance of cement mixes by improving adhesion, waterproofing, and overall strength. Ideal for use in swimming pools, showers, kitchens, and other areas exposed to water, FlexBond replaces some or all of the water in cement mixtures to provide superior flexibility, tensile strength, and resistance to weak acids.
When used in conjunction with Cemcrete's Polypropylene Membrane, it also effectively seals cracks and joints in structures. FlexBond is perfect for re-plastering pools, patching, repairing, or applying screeds. It improves the bonding quality of slush coats for pool re-plastering and enhances the waterproofing properties of cement-based applications.
Additionally, FlexBond is compatible with Portland cement, High Alumina cement, lime, and sand, making it versatile for a wide range of construction and repair applications. It can also be used as an additive with PoolCrete to promote color enhancement, making your pool look even better.
