Yes, we can use acrylic polymer mixed with cement for damp proofing AAC blocks. This is a common practice in the construction industry. The acrylic polymer modifies the cement, improving its durability, flexibility, and water resistance.
The benefits of using acrylic polymer-modified cement include:-
- Enhanced water resistance
- Improved flexibility and crack bridging ability
- Increased durability and lifespan
- Reduced shrinkage and cracking
- Improved adhesion to AAC blocks
When mixing acrylic polymer with cement, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the recommended ratio and application guidelines. Typically, the mix ratio is around 1 part acrylic polymer to 2-3 parts cement.
This mixture can be applied to the AAC blocks using a brush, roller, or spray equipment. Ensure proper surface preparation, including cleaning and priming if necessary, for optimal results.
