Dear Vince,
Polymer modified mortar mixes are commonly used for concrete patch repairs. Polymers when used in concrete or mortar, improve the tensile strength, make the concrete more impermeable and improve the adhering properties of the new material on to the old material. Polymers, acrylic or latex based can also be applied on old concrete surface before placing the new concrete/mortar and used as bonding agents.
Pre-packed polymer modified repair products, which only require the addition of mixing water are available in the market.
If you want to make your own repair mortar, follow the instructions of the supplier on the dosage of the polymer and mix design.
