Surface Bonding Cement is a unique product with some unique properties. It is a masonry product that can be used to build walls, bond existing walls and create planters or even patios. The product forms a concrete surface when it sets up.
It is typically used for cement block walls but I have personally seen it applied on brick, painted block and stucco walls. It is not recommended for use on painted surfaces as the cement may etch into the paint causing the paint to peel off over time. The best surfaces to apply it to are unpainted masonry block and plain brick.
Surface bonding cement has a product life of about 20 years or longer if maintained well. This is about twice the life of a typical paint job and it also provides an additional layer of protection against water penetration.
Our Surface Bonding Cement is a fiber reinforced portland cement based coating for concrete block and masonry walls. It is applied in a single coat by trowel, and it has a fine aggregate texture that is similar to stucco.
The product is packaged in 80 lb. bags, and it comes in two standard colors – Gray and White. Custom colors are available with special orders.
It’s easy to use, it’s durable, and it can be painted after 24 hours with either latex or oil base paints. It can be used to refinish existing concrete block walls, or it can be used to construct completely new walls on wood or metal framing.
SBC is a cement-based product that has been designed to adhere to a range of surfaces, including brick and concrete, without the need for preparation.
Its versatility, ease of use and time and cost savings make it an ideal product for anyone requiring a surface bonding cement.
SBC surface bonding cement can be used on most building materials, including sand/cement blocks, bricks, concrete masonry units, precast concrete panels, fibre cement and also AAC blocks.
SBC is applied directly to the surface without the need for primers or plastering gauges and it is easily cut or tooled without damaging the surface.
SBC is a low-density, multi-purpose, polymer modified cement mortar specially designed to repair and regenerate deteriorated surfaces. SBC is ideal for resurfacing warehouses and manufacturing plants, as well as interior concrete floors in industrial facilities.
SBC can be placed by trowel or squeegee over a wide range of thicknesses (from 1/16″ to 1″) and dries quickly to provide an attractive cementitious surface that resists impact and abrasion. SBC is available in standard Gray or White, but can be easily colored with Davis Cement Colors.
SBC provides a durable, decorative finish for new or existing concrete floors. It can be used effectively to create many different looks from terrazzo to acid stain finishes.
SBC is formulated using a proprietary blend of cements and polymers which provides exceptional adhesion and bonding characteristics. It has been extensively tested for use on new and existing concrete as well as steel, wood and masonry surfaces.
The high quality surface bonding cement is made of a mixture of , , . It is most commonly used for making new walls from scratch. It is also used to repair existing walls by resurfacing or re-stuccoing.
Surface bonding cement can be used to make cement block walls look better when the wall has been damaged or for aesthetic purposes. The cement block wall is usually painted after applying the surface bonding cement. One coat of the cement is usually enough, but two coats are recommended in areas where water may collect, such as in showers or basements.
The product has a variety of textures and it can be painted to accommodate any color scheme. Adding small amounts of water to the mixture will make it more waterproof, which makes it useful for DIY projects like creating brick siding for exterior walls or creating stucco siding for interior walls.
The product is very strong and durable, so it will last a long time without wearing away. It can be used on projects with a lot of weight on them, such as building retaining walls around gardens or other outdoor spaces. It can also be used on outdoor structures that are exposed to varying temperatures and weather conditions throughout the year.
“SURFACE BONDING CEMENT” is a specially formulated product which is used to repair existing concrete and masonry walls. The cement is applied over the surface of a wall as a thin coat and is reinforced with galvanized steel mesh.
The surface bonding cement can be used to resurface interior and exterior concrete, block, brick and cinder block walls. It can also be used to resurface split face concrete block in new construction of homes, apartments, condominiums, warehouses and commercial buildings.
The cement can be integrally colored with integral color or stained using dyes and sealers. The surface bonding cement is durable, weather resistant and cost effective.
It is a thin section material which can be used as thin sectioning solution in Microtomes for cutting thin sections of semi-hard to hard biological specimens. The major advantage of surface bonding cement is that it provides a very thin section with minimal distortion. The use of surface bonding cement is carried out by embedding the specimen in epoxy resin, applying the surface bonding cement on the surface and then cutting it into thin sections using glass knives. Surface bonding cement can be used for embedding plant stems, roots and leaves; animal tissues (muscle, liver etc), fibrin clots, blood films, some histological tissues and cytological preparations.
However, the use of surface bonding cement is limited to those tissues which can remain unmoved during the application of this cement on one side.
The method of embedding tissue in epoxy resin followed by applying a layer of surface bonding cement over it to achieve very thin sections was first proposed in 1958 by C.B. Gartner et al., (Gartner et al., 1958).
The authors claimed that this method provides excellent ultrathin sections with very little distortion and thus can be used for electron microscopy studies (Gartner et al., 1958).
However, this method soon became
