GacoFlex A-17

GacoFlex A-17 is an acrylic polymer which adds strength, adhesion and toughness to cementitious materials.

USAGE

A latex modifier for GacoCrete. This is an overlay system that provides a hard durable surface suitable for the application of most GacoFlex coating systems. GacoCrete is effectively used to repair damaged or worn concrete, weathered plywood and to enhance slope to drain. See application specification GW-13-GC.

APPEARANCE

White, milky liquid.

PACKAGED PRODUCT DATA

COVERAGE:

• See application specification GW-13-GC.

VOC:

• Zero V.O.C .

PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES:

• Cement mortars modified with GacoFlex A-17 exhibit increased tensile and flexural strengths versus unmodified mortars. When ambiently cured, thin sections dry rapidly and exhibit excellent toughness and good adhesion to old concrete and masonry, brick, wood, metals, and many other surfaces. Mortars modified with GacoFlex A-17 have improved chemical resistance.

STORAGE STABILITY

• One year from date of manufacture in sealed containers. Protect from freezing.

FLASH POINT:

• Not applicable.

ADHESION:

• Modified mortars have excellent adhesion to plywood and concrete. See GW-13-GC.
