(Specification)Standard Specification for Latex Agents for Bonding Fresh To Hardened Concrete
Standard Specification for Latex Agents for Bonding Fresh To Hardened Concrete
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the requirements for latex bonding agents suitable for use in brushes, brooms, or sprays. The bonding agents are intended for use in bonding fresh concrete to hardened concrete such as in interior surfaces, floors, roadways, bridge decks, ramps, runways, walks, and curbs. Each material should comply with the specified bond strength requirement for either of the two types of latex.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers latex bonding agents, suitable for brush, broom, or spray application, to bond fresh concrete to hardened concrete.
1.2 These latex bonding agents are intended for bonding new concrete to old concrete such as interior surfaces, floors, roadways, bridge decks, ramps, runways, walks, and curbs.
1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.
1.4 The text of this specification refers to notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of this specification.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Overview
ASTM C1059/C1059M-21 is the standard specification developed by ASTM International for latex agents used in bonding fresh concrete to hardened concrete. This specification details the requirements and classifications for latex bonding agents applied by brush, broom, or spray. The primary purpose of these latex agents is to enhance the bond strength between a new concrete layer and an existing surface, providing consistent performance across a variety of construction environments, including interior surfaces, floors, roadways, bridge decks, ramps, runways, sidewalks, and curbs.
Latex bonding agents are essential for applications where seamless adhesion of new concrete to old is critical for structural integrity and durability. This standard also specifies physical properties and classification criteria for different types of latex, ensuring product quality and suitability for various climatic and exposure conditions.
Key Topics
- Scope of Application: Covers latex bonding agents for use in concrete repairs and overlays, indicating suitability for both interior and exterior projects.
- Types of Latex Bonding Agents:
- Type I (Redispersable): Intended for use indoors and environments not subject to water immersion or high humidity.
- Type II (Non-redispersable): Designed for higher performance, suitable for areas exposed to moisture, high humidity, or immersion.
- Bond Strength Requirements: Sets out measurable criteria for minimum bond strength, ensuring reliable adherence between new and existing concrete.
- Testing and Sampling: Includes instructions for sampling bulk and packaged materials and outlines rejection criteria if agents fail to meet quality standards.
- Packaging and Marking: Requires clear labeling of latex agent type and quantity to facilitate correct usage and compliance during onsite application.
Applications
The latex bonding agents specified in ASTM C1059/C1059M-21 are widely utilized in construction and civil engineering projects where high-quality concrete repair and overlay are required. Key applications include:
- Repair and resurfacing of worn concrete floors, reducing the risk of delamination.
- Bonding overlays or patching materials to existing bridge decks and roadways, maintaining roadway safety and longevity.
- Restoration of ramps, curbs, and walkways, providing durable connections between new repairs and old structures.
- Reconstruction projects in both interior (Type I) and exterior (Type II) environments where moisture resistance is crucial.
- Infrastructure upgrades involving the addition of new slabs or patches onto previously hardened concrete surfaces.
Correct usage of latex bonding agents enhances adhesion, increases structural integrity, and minimizes the likelihood of future repair needs due to bond failure.
Related Standards
For effective implementation and compliance, the following ASTM standards are referenced or relevant:
- ASTM C125 – Terminology Relating to Concrete and Concrete Aggregates: Offers standard definitions critical for correct interpretation of requirements.
- ASTM C1042 – Test Method for Bond Strength of Latex Systems Used With Concrete by Slant Shear (Withdrawn): Historical context for bond strength evaluation.
Additional standards regarding concrete repair, admixtures, and quality control may also be referenced alongside ASTM C1059/C1059M-21, depending on project requirements.
