Cross-linked aqueous cementitious polymer: SikaRecent Research Landscape

Standard water-based adhesives suffer from freeze-thaw instability and poor shear resistance during application. These innovations engineer the polymer-cement interface to maintain low viscosity while ensuring high structural stiffness after curing.

What technical problems is Sika addressing in Cross-linked aqueous cementitious polymer?

High application viscosity

(6)evidences

Water-based dispersions suffer from irreversible coagulation during freezing and excessive viscosity during application. Maintaining fluid properties across thermal extremes ensures reliable bonding performance.

Poor substrate adhesion

(2)evidences

Single-component aqueous coatings often suffer from poor solvent and chemical durability compared to two-component systems. Enhancing cross-linking density through ketone-functionalized dispersions prevents premature film degradation and surface staining.
