What is DryBond?

DryBond is a dry blend, polymer-modified cement that when mixed with water at the job used as an adhesive and base coat for EPS foam shapes. Additionally, it may be used in the Omega Crack Isolation System and as a leveling coat over approved substrates.

What is FoamTek?

FoamTek is a dry blend, polymer-modified, portland cement-based material specifically formulated for coating and attaching architectural EPS foam shapes to approved substrates. It is available in FoamTek 60 (fine), FoamTek 30 (medium), FoamTek 20 (med-coarse), or FoamTek 16 (coarse).

What is a polymer Base coat?

Also referred to as a cement plaster coating, it is a blend of cementitious materials, dried sand, and special performance admixtures designed to produce a highly-bondable substrate and to optimize consistency between batches.

Is CI a base?

CI-Base (Crack Isolation Base) is a dry blend, polymer-modified, portland cement-based material specifically formulated as base coat for embedding mesh in the Omega Crack Isolation System (CIS). NOTE: Not for use with EIF Systems.

Can you put thin pavers over concrete?

Advantages of Thin Pavers Ease of installation is one of the biggest reasons to choose thin pavers, particularly because they can be installed easily over an existing concrete slab, similar to tile. For this reason, we sometimes refer to them as overlay pavers.

What is dry bond for pavers?

DriBond™ is a polymer modified bonding agent that installs like sand and sets like cement. DriBond makes the installation of pavers possible for a fraction of the cost needed to tear out existing concrete and replace it with a traditional sand-set paver installation.

How are polymer coatings applied?

The polymeric coating process comprises applying a polymeric material onto a supporting substrate and coating the substrate surface. Polymeric coatings can be obtained using natural and synthetic rubber, urethane, polyvinyl chloride, acrylic, epoxy, silicone, phenolic resins or nitrocellulose, etc.

Is polymer coating safe?

Scientists generally agree that the polymer itself, as long as it remains stable, is unlikely to pose toxicological harm.

How do you know which base is stronger?

What determines the strength of a base?

  1. The less electronegative an atom (the later it appears in the periodic table), the more basic it likely is.
  2. If electron density can be delocalized by resonance, the molecule is a weaker base as it is less interested in losing electrons and accepting a proton.

How do you glue pavers to concrete?

Adhering border pavers: It is a common practice to mortar or glue the perimeter pavers. We recommend that you always use concrete adhesive when gluing pavers to the perimeter of a concrete slab. It is stronger and easier to apply.
