PRIMAL™ MC-330EF 100% Acrylic Emulsion for Cement Modification
Regional Product Availability Asia-Pacific
Description Dow Advanced Materials PRIMAL MC-330EF is an ammonia-free acrylic emulsion,
specifically designed to modify cement compositions. Important application areas include: • patching and resurfacing • floor underlay • terrazzo flooring • spray and fill coats • pre-cast architectural building panels • stucco • industrial cement floors • highway and bridge deck repair
PRIMAL MC-330EF is another important milestone in the development of environmen-
tally friendly solutions for manufacturers of mortars and concrete admixtures.
Key Features • Ammonia-free; APEO-free; no added formaldehyde nor formaldehyde generators
Benefits • High acceptance in environmentally conscious markets.
• Compared with unmodified mortars, polymer modified mortars have superior flexural, and impact strengths, as well as excellent abrasion resistance. • PRIMAL MC-330EF modified cement mortars have excellent adhesion to a variety of surfaces such as concrete, masonry, brick, wood, metals, and others. • Cement mortars prepared with PRIMAL MC-330EF are resistant to many industrial chemicals and have excellent resistance to ultraviolet light and heat. • Unlike unmodified mortars, which require laborious moist curing conditions for optimum strength properties, polymer modified mortars should be air cured at ambient temperature and standard relative humidity. • PRIMAL MC-330EF emulsion is sediment-free and stable to a minimum of five cycles of freezing at -15°C and thawing at 25°C. In the cold or after prolonged storage, it is desirable that the emulsion be thoroughly stirred prior to use to ensure a completely homogeneous mixture.

Formulation Guidelines Recommendations For optimum performance of the polymer modified cement mortar, the following recommendations should be complied with.
Curing Conditions Air cure conditions should be applied rather than moist cure conditions for optimum polymer film formation properties.
Air Content Air has an adverse effect on mechanical strength properties of cement mortars, as expressed by the Feret’s relationship: k0
( ) D C (w+a) 2 Relative mechanical strength = 1+ C(I+k 1 +k 2 )
Where k0 = Constant function of cement type k1 = Pozzolanic activity coefficient k2 = Filler activity coefficient w= Water content a= Air content c= Cement content DC = Cement specific gravity
Therefore, when modifying cement mortars with PRIMAL MC-330EF, it is important to
minimize the air entrainment due to foaming at a maximum level of 5% by using an appropriate amount of defoamer.
Water Level As a general rule and indicated by the Feret’s relationship, water should be held to the lowest amount needed to achieve a suitable working consistency. By using a minimum amount of water, maximum strength properties are obtained. As PRIMAL MC-330EF shows a marked plasticizing effect, increasing amounts of PRIMAL MC-330EF used in the cement mortar requires decreasing amounts of water for a suitable workable consistency. The following defoamers were found to be efficient in PRIMAL MC-330EF at a 0.5% level on emulsion: Tego™ LAE-511, Drew™ 210-693, Byk™ 037, Dehydran™ P-3215.
Film Formation Properties
PRIMAL MC-330EF can be used as such in cementitious compositions at ambient temperatures in the range: 10 to 40°C. For optimum film formation properties when working at temperatures below 10°C the addition of a coalescing aid to the emulsion is recommended.
The following coalescing aids can be used up to a 5% level on the emulsion when working at temperatures down to 5°C: • Texanol™ • DOWANOL™ DPnB (Di-propylene glycol n-butyl ether) • Butyl Carbitol™
The water content of the mortars was adjusted to provide equivalent workability. Specimens were air cured for 28 days at 23°C and 50% relative humidity unless otherwise stipulated.

1. Wet cure conditions 23°C - 100% RH.
2. A Gardner impact tester is employed. 10 x 5 x 2 cm specimen impacted until break occurs. 3. 5 x 5 x 1cm polymer modified cement mortar patch is centrally cast and cured on an unmodified concrete slab. Load is applied to the patch at 250N/s until failure occurs. The shear bond strength equals the load divided by the interfacial area of the patch. 4. A Taber abrader equipped with an H-22 Calibre abrasion wheel is employed. Cylindrical mortar specimens (10 x 1 cm) are prepared and subjected to 1000 cycles under a 1kg load. Abrasion resistance is reported as the percent weight loss of the samples.
