Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane

PREPARATION: Surfaces can be both dry or damp but all free water must be removed. Surfaces must be free from all foreign matter such as dirt, dust, grease, laitance and loose flaking paint. Cleaning is imperative and the best results can be achieved by use of our CONCRETE CLEANER. Iron and steelwork should be grit blasted or wire brushed back to clean bright metal. Ensure all metal is degreased thoroughly. Prime immediately after cleaning. For steel, apply two coats of a rust inhibitor such as Zinc Phosphate prior to applying the Damp Proof Membrane.

MIXING: Ensure you wear the necessary Personal Protective Equipment. Empty the entire contents of Pack B (Hardener) into Pack A (Resin) and stir well using a mixing paddle and electric drill on a slow speed for 3 minutes. Once fully mixed apply all within 35 minutes.

APPLICATION: Apply by brush, roller or airless spray. Apply the second coating when the first coat is tack free and within 7 days of the first. For internal tanking the second coating, whilst it remains tacky, should be sprinkled with a 2- 3mm chippings to provide
a good mechanical key for the subsequent render and floor screed to bond to. Subsequent cement renders and screeds can be placed over the Damp Proof Membrane while still wet, semi-cured or fully cured.

COVERAGE:
First Coat – Approximately 15m2 per 4.5 litres depending upon the site conditions that prevail, i.e., texture, porosity and temperatures of the substrate being treated.
Second Coat Approximately 20m2 per 4.5 litres depending upon the above conditions
