Product Overview

Weld-Crete® Concrete Bonding Agent

Weld-Crete® bonds new concrete, stucco, tile setting beds and terrazzo to any structurally sound surface, interior or exterior. Use Weld-Crete’s® open time to your advantage in bonding to concrete shear walls when you need a time lapse between application of bonding agent, placement of reinforcement steel, placement of formwork and placement of concrete.

The original chemical concrete bonding agent, Weld-Crete® incorporates polyvinyl acetate homopolymer in a patented formulation. For exterior and interior use, Weld-Crete® will bond new concrete, Portland cement plaster and cementitious mixes to structurally sound concrete floors, walls, columns, beams, steps and ramps. Weld-Crete®can be "painted on" in a single application 1 hour to 10 days prior to concrete placement. Use Weld-Crete’s® open time to your advantage in bonding to concrete shear walls when you need a time lapse between application of bonding agent, placement of reinforcement steel, placement of formwork and placement of concrete.

Weld-Crete® is also used for: bonding setting beds for ceramic tile; bonding Portland cement plaster and stucco mixes; and to bond to surfaces such as brick, block, tile, marble, metal, glass block, soundly adhered paint (non-soluable in water, i.e. casien and calcimine paints), and silicone.

Performance Properties

Data obtained from tests conducted periodically by leading independent laboratories. Test reports are available upon request.

  • Tensile Bond Strength:
    ASTM C 932-05 (pulling apart bonded cement briquet halves). In all cases failure occurred in the cementitious material, not in the bond. 385 psi. Avg. 28 days.
     
  • Flexural Bond Strength:
    ASTM C-78 (concrete beams laminated with bonding agent). 603 psi. Avg.
     
  • Shear Bond Strength:
    ASTM C-1059 (slant shear cylinder test). 740 psi. Avg. 14 days.
     
  • Temperature Range:
    ASTM C-109 (specimens brought to 35 degrees F for 1 hr., then to 310 degrees F for 2 hrs). No bond failure. Shear tests 400 psi. Avg.
     
  • Freeze-Thaw Stability:
    5 cycles freeze (-10 degrees F and thaw). Freeze-thaw stable.
     
  • Toxicity:
    Enclosed mice exposed to 30 cc volatized bonding agent for 1 hr. Non-toxic, no ill effects after 7 days.
     
  • Fire Resistance:
    ASTM E-119 (bonded assembly). Passed 2 hr. Fire Test 1800 degrees F and 1 hr. Hose Stream Test.
     
  • Flammability:
    Meets MIL-B-19235C, non-flammable.
     
  • Acid Resistance:
    1″ concrete slabs bonded to 1/2″ gypsum plaster subjected to seepage of strong detergents and synthetic urine for 10 hrs. a day. No bond failure after 25 consecutive days. Also unaffected by alkalinity of cement.
     
  • Life Expectancy:
    Lab tested and field proven. Non-deteriorating bond; retains strength and flexibility.
