- Crack-bridging ability.
- Total waterproofing against positive hydrostatic pressure up to 5 atm according to EN 12390-8. It can also withstand negative pressure.
- Vapor permeability.
- Suitability for potable water tanks, as well as food contact surface according to W-347.
- Resistance to UV radiation.
- Protection of concrete from carbonation.
- No corrosive effect on the reinforcing steel in concrete.
- Resistance to sewage water (sewage water treatment plants, sewers, etc).
- Resistance to aging.
- Bonding to slightly wet surface without priming.
- Simple and low cost application.
- Suitability for green roofs, flower beds, etc., as it is certified as root-resistant.
- Also works as a radon barrier.
It is used for waterproofing surfaces made of concrete, plaster, bricks, cement blocks, terrazzo, gypsum boards, wood, metal, etc. Ideal in cases where high flexibility and good adhesion of the waterproofing layer are required. Suitable for waterproofing substrates subject to expansion-contraction or vibration and show or are expected to show hairline cracks, such as flat roofs, balconies, above ground water tanks, swimming pools, inverted roofs, etc. It can also be used for waterproofing basements, internally or externally, against moisture or water under pressure.
Application
The 25 kg bag of component A is added to the 10 kg of the liquid component B under continuous stirring, until a uniform, viscous mixture is formed, suitable for brush application. The substrate must be pre-wetted to a saturated surface dry condition before application. The surface to be covered with AQUAMAT-ELASTIC must be free of standing water. The material is applied by brush in two or more layers, depending on the water load. Layers thicker than 1 mm should be avoided, because the material may crack. Each new coating is applied after the previous one has dried. The freshly coated surface should be protected from high temperatures, rain and frost. In case AQUAMAT-ELASTIC needs to be locally reinforced *inside corners where forming fillets is not necessary, at junctions, etc.( the use of a 10 cm wide polyester fleece (30 g/m2) or fiberglass mesh (65 g/m2) is recommended.
