Uses

• Cementitious coating, used for waterproofing water retaining structures and water excluding structures
• Suitable for use in water tanks, reservoirs, canals and culverts
• Can be used on concrete, brick and blockwork substrates
• Suitable for application to below ground retaining wall and foundation structures including construction joints to maintain waterproofing continuity as part of a waterproofing solution conforming to BS8102:2009

Application Notes

• Supplied as a 18.2kg bag of powder component and liquid polymer component in 5.0kg plastic containers
• Any active water ingress should be stopped with a suitably approved plugging mortar such as Renderoc Plug
• The powder component is gradually added to the liquid whilst mixing with a Fosroc Mixing Paddle (MR3). or other approved spiral paddle attachment on a variable speed drill
• Proofex LM Mesh may be used to reinforce the product at joints and cracks
• For optimum use of the product, Nitocote CM210 white should be applied as the first coat, with Nitocote CM210 grey as the second coat. This gives a visual indication of coverage
• The first coat should be applied at a wet film thickness of 1mm
• All the mixed material should be used within 1 hour of mixing
• Allow first coat to cure for a minimum of 4 hours at 20°C/50% RH and longer at lower temperatures or higher humidities
• The exact drying time will depend on surface temperature, relative humidity and air movement. High temperatures and/ or low humidity will reduce the drying time. This can vary from 1 to 16 hours
• Immediately after application is completed, clean all tools and equipment with clean water. Hardened material can be removed by mechanical means and by use of Fosroc Solvent 102
• Waste material should be allowed to harden overnight then disposed of as non-hazardous waste
• The maximum ambient temperature for application is 40°C
• Coverage per coat is 1.8kg/m² or 1 litre/m²

Limitations

• Should not be used when the temperature is below 5°C
• Should not be exposed to rainfall or moving water during application or within 4 hours at 20°C
• The maximum ambient temperature for application is 40°C
• Should not be used on external surfaces where an aesthetic appearance is critical because differences in environmental conditions during cure may cause colour differences in the final surface
• Should not be used on structures subject to high movement, i.e. elevated water retaining tanks
• May exhibit satisfactory handling characteristics even though inadequately mixed. This will result in a significantly lower level of performance or possible failure. It is therefore essential that mixing instructions are strictly adhered to with particular emphasis on the time of the mixing operation
