DESCRIPTION: BVS POLY-BINDER is a re-emulsifiable white concrete adhesive emulsion formulated to use as an admixture or as a between slab bonder. BVS POLY-BINDER will enhance the bond to any structurally sound surface.

USES AND APPLICATIONS: BVS POLY-BINDER is compatible will all BVS cement products and with most Portland and gypsum cement mixes.

• As an admixture to enhance the bond and shear strengths of most concrete mixes
• Enhances cement plasters, stucco and concrete
• May be used on a wide variety of substrates
• May be used both indoors and outdoors

• Increases compressive, tensile and flexural strengths
• Chemical resistant
• Improves abrasion and freeze / thaw resistance
• Good adhesion to old concrete
• Promotes proper curing and reduces cracking
• Water born system
• Allows for thin overlay applications
• May be applied over a damp or dry surface
• Easy to use

PACKAGING: BVS POLY-BINDER is packaged in 1, 5 and 55 gallon containers.

COVERAGE: When used as a primer, BVS POLY-BINDER will cover 200 to 300 ft² per gallon (18.6 to 28 m²) depending on the porosity of the substrate.

STORAGE CONDITIONS: Store BVS POLY-BINDER at or above 45ºF (7ºC). Do not freeze. The shelf life is one year in the original unopened container.

As a primer: BVS POLY-BINDER has an unlimited pot life as a primer.

As an admixture: The working time of BVS POLY-BINDER will be determined by the pot life of the mortar mix.

When used as a primer: Use full strength. No mixing is required.

When used as an admixture: Mix equal parts of BVS POLY-BINDER and water for all mixes.

The existing concrete surface must be lean and sound. Remove all unsound concrete, paint, dirt, grease, oil, surface coatings, laitance and any other bond-inhibiting material from the surface. This may be achieved by high pressure water washing or by wire brushing and scraping.

As a primer: Use a brush, roller or spray equipment. Apply in a thin film and do not allow BVS POLY-BINDER to puddle. BVS POLY-BINDER will dry in one hour but the application of the overlay may begin if the BVS POLY-BINDER is set but tacky.

As an admixture: Mix equal parts of BVS POLY-BINDER and water. Follow the mixing instructions of the mortar mix.

COLOR: BVS POLY-BINDER is white in color and dries with a clear sheen.

CURING: Under normal conditions, no special curing is required. However, when used as an add agent and under high temperature, low humidity or strong wind, the patching mortar must be protected from rapid drying. Use of a liquid curing compound, BVS VISTA-CLEAR VOC, wet burlap or polyethylene sheeting is recommended.

• Apply only to a clean, sound and properly prepared surface
• Minimum ambient and surface temperatures must be 45ºF (9ºC) and rising at the time of application
• Do not dilute more than 50% when used as an additive.

• Keep product from freezing
• Dispose of waste materials in accordance with Federal, State and local regulations
• The use of a dust mask, safety goggles and rubber gloves is recommended when mixing cements
• In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes and contact a Physician
• In case of skin contact, wash with soap and water; Contact a physician
• Keep out of the reach of children
