Product Description:

ARDEX BACA Bonding & Anti-Corrosion Agent is a high-performance, two-component protective bonding slurry designed for use with ARDEX repair mortars and concrete restoration systems. This 36.5 LB kit provides both superior bonding properties and reliable anti-corrosion protection, making it the ideal solution for professional contractors and engineers working on structural concrete repair projects. Formulated with polymer-modified cement and specialized corrosion inhibitors, ARDEX BACA helps extend the life of reinforced concrete by preventing steel reinforcement bars (rebar) from rusting and ensuring strong adhesion between new repair mortar and existing concrete substrates.

Engineered for vertical, overhead, and horizontal applications, ARDEX BACA ensures excellent workability and long-term durability. It is resistant to water penetration, chlorides, and freeze-thaw cycles, delivering dependable protection in harsh environments such as bridges, parking garages, tunnels, marine structures, and industrial facilities. The bonding agent acts as both a primer and a corrosion-resistant coating, eliminating the need for multiple products while ensuring consistent, reliable performance.

Designed for fast-track construction and demanding repair environments, ARDEX BACA can be applied quickly and efficiently with a brush or spray, forming a strong bond and a protective barrier against oxidation and deterioration. When used as part of the ARDEX Concrete Repair System, this bonding and anti-corrosion agent ensures seamless integration with ARDEX mortars such as ARDEX B 20, ARDEX B 40, and other repair materials. Professional-grade strength, advanced corrosion protection, and dependable adhesion make ARDEX BACA the trusted choice for long-lasting concrete restoration.
