Sbr Instead Of Tanking? - TilersForums.com

[gooty]

ordered a tanking kit today to put on my hardibacker covered bath/shower but am left wondering if ive made a mistake?

i popped into a tile shop tonight and the guy there said why didnt i just paint it with £9 SBR as not only is it a primer, it waterproofs too!!!

comments appreciated

if sbr isn't a tanking product why do sovereign chemicals use it. watched a guy tank out a basement with it. when they make it in a cement slurry.
it is a primer sealer . so I would suspect it is used in most tanking products

Using it IN tanking products, isn't the same as using it AS a tanking product tho Ray is it mate.
Any two compounds/liquids mixed together automatically changes its chemical composition.
PVA is a prime example.
No pun intended! Haha tempting tho!

majority of tanking products are 90% sbr 10% paste I am lead to believe.

pva is not the same as SBR

Haha no I know Ray, my point was when a substrate is primed with PVA and u apply adhesive, which contains moisture (water) the PVA becomes live again.
Hence the mixing of the two changes its composition.
That's all I meant.
