Coo-Var Dampshield

This two-component resin membrane is specifically formulated to tolerate residual moisture in concrete floors, allowing for earlier installation of floor coverings such as tiles, carpets, vinyl, or wood. The product creates an effective moisture barrier without the need for a traditional damp-proof membrane, making it an essential choice for time-sensitive projects. Its clear, gloss finish adds durability while being aesthetically neutral.

Recommended Uses

This product is ideal for use on concrete and fine concrete screeds. It is especially effective in environments where residual moisture is present, providing protection against damp without requiring complete drying of the substrate. Whether you’re working on residential, commercial, or industrial floors, it ensures that subsequent coatings and coverings will adhere properly and remain durable over time.

Application and Limitations

Application requires thorough preparation of the concrete surface, including scarifying or shot-blasting to remove contaminants. Ensure the surface is free from liquid water and other residues. This product should not be used in situations where hydrostatic pressure could force moisture through the barrier, as this can lead to damage over time. Always apply in temperatures above 10°C for best results.

It is important to avoid using the product in areas where the surface is weak, as this can compromise adhesion. Additionally, it should not be applied to screeds that are less than 50mm thick, and extra care must be taken when applying over unbonded screeds.

Post-Application Recommendations

Once applied, a subsequent coating such as Coo-Var Profloor Plus can be used for additional protection and aesthetics. The overcoating interval is a minimum of 12 hours at 20°C. Follow the product’s full drying and curing times to ensure optimal performance.
