AQUAMAT-MONOELASTIC is a one-component, highly flexible, waterproofing slurry consisting of a cement-based powder mortar enriched with resins. After hardening, it forms a seamless, jointless membrane with the following advantaves:
- Crack-bridging ability.
- Total waterproofing against positive hydrostatics pressure up to 5 atm according to EN 12390-8. It canalso withstand negative pressure.
- Protection of concrete from carbonation.
- No corrosive effect on the reinforcing steel in concrete.
- Vapor permeability.
- Resistance to aging.
- Adhesion to wet surfaces without priming.
- Simple and low-cost application.
- Suitable for brush and trowel application.
It is used for waterproofing surface made of concrete, plaster, bricks, cement blocks, terrazzo, gypsum boards, wood, metal, etc. Ideal in caseswhere high flexibility and good adhesion are required. Suitable for waterproofing substrates subject to expansion-contraction or vibration and show or are expected to show hairline cracks, such as terraces, balconies, above ground level water tanks, swimming pools, inverted roofs, etc. Ideal for application on terraces, rooftops, balconies and wet areas to be covered with tiles (bathrooms, kitchens). It can also be used for waterproofing basements, internally or externally, against moisture or water under pressure.
Application
The material is applied with a brush or trowel in two or more layers, depending on the water load. The 18 kg bag is added to 5.0-5.4 l of water application with a brush, or to 3.6-4.3 l of water for application with atrowel, under continuous stirring, until a uniform, viscous mixture is formed. To prevent cracking, layer thickness per coat must not exceed 1 mm in brush-on applications and 2 mm in trowel-on applications. Maximum total thickness is 3 mm. Te entire surface of the substrate should be well dampened but without ponding water. Each new layer is applied after the previous one has dried. The freshly coated surface should be protected from high temperatures, rain and frost. In case AQUAMAT-MONOELASTIC 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 (65g/m2) is recommended.
