Admixtures

425MultiPurpose

425 Multi-Purpose Acrylic Latex Admixture™

Versatile, high solids, acrylic emulsion with four primary applications:

  • Grout Admixture
  • Thin-Set Admixture
  • Mortar Bed Admixture
  • Bond Coat Admixture

425 Multi-Purpose Acrylic Latex Admixture can be mixed with Hydroment Ceramic Tile Grout to comply with ANSI 118.6 and ANSI 118.7 requirements.

When mixed with grout, 425 Multi-Purpose Acrylic Latex Admixture controls the cure rate, producing excellent physical strengths, flexibility, and color uniformity; helps minimize cracking in wood-framed structures; and helps reduce staining because it lowers the porosity of the grout.

When mixed with Tile-Mate thin-set mortars, 425 Multi-Purpose Acrylic Latex exceeds the requirements of both ANSI A118.4 and ANSI A118.11. Use over plywood, existing vinyl or ceramic flooring, and exterior installations subject to moisture and freezing.

Use 425 Multi-Purpose Acrylic Latex Admixture instead of water for preparing mortar beds and bond coats in traditional thick bed applications to improve water resistance and durability.

Available in 5 gallon, 2 gallon, 1 gallon, and quart containers.
