Metalcrete Industries Acrylpave
- Chemical Family
- Acrylics & Acrylates
Metalcrete Industries Acrylpave is a water-based, VOC compliant latex designed to be added to portland cement based systems of all types to enhance hardened properties. Through internal reinforcement of the cementitious system, greater bond, flexural, and tensile strengths can be achieved. Acrylpave internally reinforces the cement matrix, thereby giving the system a two way strength mechanism. In addition, Acrylpave can dramatically improve freeze/thaw, scaling, and salt resistance and damp proofs against water ingress.

- PACKAGING
Acrylpave is supplied in 1-gal. (3.8 liter) jugs (4 jugs per case), 5-gal. (18.9 liter) pails, and 55-gal. (208 liter) drums.
- Composition
Acrylpave is a dispersion of acrylic based resins in a water-based carrier.
- Limitations
Acrylpave should not be used at temperatures below 40°F (4°C). Keep material from freezing in storage. Do not use in ready-mix concrete. Use Metcobond for this application.
- Availability
Acrylpave is normally available immediately from your local distributor or it will be shipped within 5 working days upon receipt of order.

- VOC-free
- Color and Appearance
Acrylpave appears as a milky white liquid in the container. It has no significant effect on the color or appearance of materials to which it is added.
- Benefits and Features
Easy to use as a direct addition to mortars, coatings or toppings.; Increases flexural, tensile and bond strengths.; Good for both interior and exterior use.; Remains stable underwater indefinitely.; Dramatically reduces the permeability of cementitious surfaces.; Increases the flexibility of cement based systems.; Mortar color is unaffected by Acrylpave.
- Application Methods
- Brush
- Trowel
- Estimating and Coverage
Acrylpave usage will depend on desired latex loading for a particular system. Below are a few examples:. Small adjustments in liquid content may be needed to achieve desired consistency. Acrylpave may be diluted 50/50 with water where lower latex contents are desired. Do not dilute with more than 3 parts water to 1 part Acrylpave. The higher the dilution, the lower flexural, bond, and tensile strengths will be.
- Typical Applications
Cement/sand mortars; Plaster coats; Toppings; Cement based coatings; Repair mortars; Bond coats.; It is also excellent when used with blockcoat cementitious masonry coating.; Acrylpave is also used in metalcrete's packaged repair mortars including thinpave, thickpave and vertipave.
