Bonding Agents
Our sustainable bonding agents are engineered to enhance adhesion for both structural and non-structural applications across diverse construction needs. We offer a comprehensive range based on acrylic, SBR and epoxy resins, ensuring compatibility with various substrates and performance demands. From improving bond strength to increasing durability, our solutions deliver reliable performance in every application.
Understanding the difference and when to use each
Versatile acrylic liquid co-polymer that serves three functions in one — bonding agent, curing aid and waterproofing admixture. Improves adhesion, reduces permeability and retains moisture for better hydration of fresh concrete. The all-rounder for general construction bonding needs.
Rubber-based latex that dramatically improves the physical properties of cementitious mixes — particularly flexibility, impact resistance and adhesion. The preferred choice for repair mortars, screeds and overlays where the improved flexibility of rubber is needed alongside enhanced bonding.

in Concrete Repair & Construction
The single most common cause of concrete repair failure is not the repair mortar — it is inadequate adhesion between the repair mortar and the existing concrete substrate. A repair mortar that debonds from the parent concrete is structurally useless and must be removed and redone at significant cost.
Old, hardened concrete has a smooth, carbonated surface that does not bond naturally to new cementitious materials. Without a bonding agent — or with a bonding agent that has been allowed to dry before the mortar is applied — the repair will fail at the interface between old and new concrete.
StrucoBond bonding agents eliminate this risk by chemically enhancing the adhesion between old and new concrete surfaces — ensuring the repair or overlay performs as a monolithic structural unit rather than two separate elements.
- ✗Repair mortar sits on smooth carbonated surface
- ✗Mechanical bond only — weak at the interface
- ✗Delamination risk under thermal cycling
- ✗Repair can sound hollow and eventually detach
- ✗Repeat repair required — additional cost
- ✓Chemical bond formed at old-new concrete interface
- ✓Tensile bond strength dramatically increased
- ✓Monolithic behaviour — repair acts as single unit
- ✓Long-term repair durability and performance
- ✓Compliant with BS EN 1504 repair principles
How Bonding Agents Are Applied

StrucoBond GP — Three Functions
in One Product
StrucoBond GP is classified as a multi-function product — it can be used in three distinct ways on the same construction site:

StrucoBond GP vs StrucoBond SBR —
Choosing the Right Bonding Agent
Modified Acrylic Co-Polymer
- ✓Multi-function: bonding + curing + admixture
- ✓Best for general construction bonding
- ✓Also used as a curing aid on fresh concrete
- ✓Waterproofing admixture when added to mixes
- ✓Most economical general-purpose choice
Styrene Butadiene Rubber Latex
- ✓Rubber-based — higher flexibility in cured mix
- ✓Better impact and abrasion resistance
- ✓Preferred for thin-section repair mortars
- ✓Better for external and exposed repairs
- ✓Enhanced crack resistance in cured material
