Product Information
Full details
The Palace SBR Bond (5 lt, White) is a versatile primer and additive designed for porous surfaces, particularly worn timbers. Its key benefit is sealing and protecting these surfaces while also enhancing cementitious mixtures. A potential caveat is its specific formulation, which may not be suitable for all material types without proper testing.

FAQs
What is SBR Bond primarily used for?
SBR Bond is primarily used as a primer for porous worn surfaces, a sealer for timbers, and as an admixture to improve the properties of cementitious products like mortars and slurries.
Can I use SBR Bond on metal or plastic surfaces?
SBR Bond is designed for porous substrates. Its performance on non-porous materials like metal or plastic is not guaranteed and would require thorough testing on a small area first.
How much SBR Bond should I mix with cement?
The mixing ratio depends on the application. For a bonding slurry, a common ratio is 1 part SBR Bond to 1 part cement and 1 part sand. Always refer to specific project guidelines or test for optimal results.
Is SBR Bond waterproof?
SBR Bond provides water resistance when cured, but it is not a standalone waterproofing membrane. It enhances the water resistance of surfaces and mixes it is applied to or incorporated into.
How long does it take for SBR Bond to dry?
Drying time varies depending on temperature, humidity, and application thickness. Typically, it is touch-dry within 1-2 hours and fully cured within 24-48 hours, but allow sufficient time before applying subsequent layers.
What is the shelf life of SBR Bond?
When stored correctly in its original, sealed container in cool, dry conditions, SBR Bond generally has a shelf life of 12 months.
Can I paint over SBR Bond once it's dry?
Yes, once SBR Bond is dry and properly cured, it provides an excellent base for most types of paint and coatings.
Troubleshooting
Product not drying or curing properly
Ensure application temperatures are within the recommended range (typically above 5°C). Check for excessive moisture in the substrate or if mixed with cement, ensure correct ratios were used.
Poor adhesion after application
Verify that the surface was adequately prepared (clean, dry, free from contaminants). Reapply ensuring proper surface preparation and correct application technique.
Bonding slurry is too thin or too thick
Adjust the ratio of SBR Bond to cement and water/aggregate. Refer to product guidelines or test small batches to achieve the desired consistency.
Surface remains tacky after drying
This can sometimes occur in humid conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation. If minor tackiness persists and does not affect subsequent finishes, it may be acceptable. Otherwise, allow longer drying time or consider a very light sanding.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent for preparing and sealing worn timber surfaces.
- Significantly improves the bond strength of cement-based products.
- Adds water resistance to treated areas and mixtures.
- Acts as a versatile primer and admixture.
- The 5-litre size offers good value for larger jobs.
Cons
- Primarily designed for porous materials; may require testing on non-porous surfaces.
- Requires proper mixing ratios for optimal performance in cementitious applications.
- The white color may be a consideration depending on the final finish.
- Not suitable as a standalone waterproofing membrane.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material before application.
- For use as a primer, apply one or two coats with a brush or roller. Allow to dry thoroughly between coats.
- When mixing with cement, follow specific ratios recommended for the intended application (e.g., bonding slurry, repair mortar).
Compatibility:
- Ideal for porous substrates like timber, concrete, plaster, and masonry.
- Can be mixed with Portland cement, sand, and other suitable aggregates.
- Test on a small, inconspicuous area before full application, especially when mixing with different cementitious products or applying to non-standard surfaces.
Care:
- Store in original, tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost.
- Clean tools and equipment immediately after use with water.
