Yes, we can use a mixture of acrylic polymer and cement for ceiling grouting. This combination offers several benefits:-
1. Improved flexibility:-
Acrylic polymer adds flexibility to the grout, reducing the likelihood of cracks and improving durability.
2. Enhanced adhesion:-
The polymer enhances the bond between the grout and the substrate, ensuring a strong and lasting attachment.
3. Water resistance:-
Acrylic polymer improves the water resistance of the grout, reducing the risk of water infiltration and damage.
4. Workability:-
The addition of polymer can improve the grout’s workability, making it easier to mix and apply.
When mixing acrylic polymer with cement for ceiling grouting, consider the following:
1. Ratio:- Typically, a 1:1 to 1:3 (polymer:cement) ratio is used.
2. Compatibility:-
Ensure the acrylic polymer is compatible with the cement and other materials used in the grout.
3. Curing:-
Allow the grout to cure. Usually several hours or days, depending on the specific product.
By combining acrylic polymer with cement, you can create a strong, flexible, and water-resistant grout for your ceiling grouting needs.
