Application Notes

• Prime the surface using Fosroc Dekguard CP
• All primed substrates should be treated with two coats of Dekguard Elastic
• It is important that no gaps or ‘raw edges’ appear in the finished coating
• Under poor drying conditions at low temperatures it may be more practical to apply three thinner coats (270 microns wet film thickness each) of Dekguard Elastic to achieve better ‘through-drying’

Please see the Product Data Sheet for detailed information.

Limitations

• Application of Dekguard CP or Dekguard Elastic should not proceed if the air or substrate temperature is 5°C and falling (at a steady 5°C, or 5°C and rising, application may commence)
• Dekguard CP or Dekguard Elastic should not be applied at less than 3°C above the dew point or at >85% RH, or in windy conditions, where early-age dust adhesion may occur, where rain is likely within 2 hours at 20°C or 20 hours at 5°C, or where there is a likelihood of exposure to freeze / thaw cycles during the curing period
• The use of Dekguard Elastic should not be considered for areas subjected long term exposure to ponded water. In such cases use
  Fosroc Dekguard S
• The elastomeric properties and high tear strength of Dekguard Elastic make it unsuitable for use in areas subject to direct physical attack by vandals. Where appropriate, Dekguard S should be considered
• Dekguard Elastic should not be used on soffits subject to possible water ingress. In these cases use Dekguard S or Dekguard A+
• The manufacture of Dekguard coatings is a batch process and despite close manufacturing tolerances variation may occur between batches
• Fosroc recommends using material from one batch only as the finish topcoat
