ARDEX WPM 405: High-Performance SBR Liquid Polymer & Bonding Additive

ARDEX WPM 405 is a professional-grade Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) liquid polymer additive. Specially formulated for demanding construction environments, it drastically improves the bond strength, flexibility, and water resistance of cement-based mixes like renders and screeds.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Enhanced Durability: Increases tensile and flexural strength for resilient, long-lasting renders.
  • Water Resistant: Serves as a temporary waterproofing sealer for rooftops and exposed substrates.
  • Eco-Friendly Formulation: Water-based, low-odour, and meets Green Star VOC benchmarks (32g/L).
  • Superior Adhesion: The ultimate bonding agent for high-strength slurry coats and repair mortars.

Compatible Substrates

Ideal for use with concrete, masonry, brickwork, Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) blocks, and external-grade fibre cement sheeting.

Primary Applications

  • Cement Admixture: Improves sand/cement mixes, repair mortars, fillets, and covings.
  • Bonding Agent: Apply as a high-strength slurry coat for new renders or floor toppings.
  • Temporary Sealer: Protects high-exposure surfaces from moisture ingress during construction.

Technical Specifications

  • Color: Milky White liquid
  • Coverage: Waterproofing (12m² per 2 coats); Slurry coat (3m²/L); Render (2m²/L)
  • Pack Size: 20L Pail
  • Drying Times: Recoat in 16 hours; full cure in 24 hours.
