Modern construction structures are always subjected to challenges like cracking, water percolation, poor bonding between old and new concrete, surface dusting, and structural damage. As time passes, moisture, weather alterations as well as mechanical pressure loosen concrete and plaster filters of any construction.
The solution needs to not only seal surfaces on such structures but also to integrate while providing internal strength.

Autoflege Construction Chemicals DRYFIKS™ URP Latex is a SBR latex-based universal repair polymer that greatly increases the waterproofing system’s adhesion strength, enhances workability and versatility in slab repairs while significantly increasing surface durability. Designed for both repair and waterproofing, it alters the characteristics of cement-based materials to provide thicker films, greater bonding strength, flexibility, and long-lasting water ingress protection.
DRYFIKS™ URP Latex is the professional choice for heavy-duty structural repairs, bonding coats, and waterproofing treatments in residential, commercial and industrial construction projects.

What is DRYFIKS™ URP Latex?

DRYFIKS™ URP Latex is a new Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) latex polymer emulsion that enhances the physical and mechanical properties of cement mortar, concrete mixes, waterproof coatings, and grouting applications.
The polymer forms a flexible and dense matrix within the cementitious systems, improving bonding strength and minimizing permeability.

It acts as:

Universal repair additive
Waterproofing modifier
Bonding agent
Polymer modifier (For Mortar & Concrete)
Surface strength enhancer

As a multifunctional product, DRYFIKS™ URP Latex is an excellent solution for treating old structures in addition to preventing further water ingress.

How DRYFIKS™ URP Latex Works?

Conventional cement systems are brittle and can crack. Cracks allow water to seep into the structure and cause corrosion, dampness and degradation.

Cement hydration is modified through polymer technology using DRYFIKS™ URP Latex. SBR is itself elastic polymer that will form film within cement matrix:

Reduces porosity
Increases cohesion
Improves flexibility
Enhances bonding strength
Blocks water ingress

The outcome is a strong waterproof system able to manage environmental stress and structural movement.

Application Areas For Waterproofing In Construction

Repairing rampart wall

DRYFIKS URP Latex has a wide range of applications in constructing heavy-duty structures or rehabilitating spalling concrete and rampart wall repairs through improved flexural force output and ductility to withstand the mechanical pressure of structures moving relative to one another without cracking. Its use will dramatically enhance the durability of the existing surfaces by minimizing the chance of damage occurring inside structures through moisture and weather changes.

Repair of sunken toilet and bathroom slabs

An SBR latex modified emulsion polymer is an ideal solution for waterproofing and repairing water-damaged caulks and sealers associated with sunken bathroom and balcony slabs. The polymer improves flexibility and creates a dense continuum throughout the cementaceous substrate to limit the permeability of intruding water. The product provides an effective long-term means of moisture storage to prevent leakage in internal wet locations (i.e., kitchens and bathrooms) over time.

Masonry stone work

The product can function as an excellent bonding agent for masonry stone applications, including stone surfaces and masonry filtering formats. Overall, it produces superior bonding strengths between concrete structure and newly constructed structures (e.g., wall-to-wall connections) to reduce the likelihood of dissolving filtered masonry. Additionally, this multi-functioning polymer will help substantially reduce oxidation and dust build-up on plaster surfaces, providing a higher quality finished surface.

Pinhole treatment on concrete surface

DRYFIKS URP is an excellent choice for treating concrete surfaces, specifically when treating pinholes and using slurry coatings for bonding to concrete surfaces. The addition of DRYFIKS URP will enhance the bond between the cement and the concrete matrix, as well as reduce the porosity of the cement. Furthermore, DRYFIKS URP increases abrasion resistance thereby providing surfaces with excellent durability in areas that experience high volumes of pedestrian traffic.
