R-50 Latex Mortar Overlayment
Product Data Sheet
DESCRIPTION
Raeco R-50 is a two component, concrete repair and topping
compound consisting of a uniform,premixed blend of portland
cementsandgradedwashedsilicaaggregateswithaliquidlatex
modifier to promote lasting surface adhesion, for renovation
and new construction. R-50 can be applied from feathered
edge to any depth, for thickness greater than 1/2” (12.7 mm)
use appropriate aggregate. R-50 should be used for horizontal
surfaces.Suitable for interior and exterior use,a sealer or coating
is recommended when used for a wearing surface.R-50 provides
excellent freeze-thaw resistance against the penetration of
deicing salts and other contaminants. Raeco R-50 contains no
gypsum, chlorides, ferrous metals or corrosive agents.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces to be covered must be structurally sound, clean and free of dust, oil, grease, sealers, curing compounds,
laitance, release agents or other surface contaminants. For smooth surfaces, we recommend mechanical abrasion to achieve an ac-
ceptable surface profile. The cleaning and preparation method selected depends on both the sub-floor material and its condition.
Acid etching is not recommended. For optimum adhesion, mix R-50 with the latex to a slurry consistency and brush thoroughly into
the area to be covered. Raeco R-2000 may also be used as a bonding medium. DO NOT USE R-50 LATEX AS A BONDING AGENT.
