AQUAMAT

AQUAMAT is a one-component, cement-based, brushable waterproofing slurry offering:

  • Total waterproofing against positive hydrostatics pressure up to 5 atm according to EN 12390-8. It can also withstand negative pressure.
  • Perfect bonding to substrates like concrete, masonry, plaster, etc.
  • Suitable for potable water tanks, as well as food contact surfaces according to W-347.
  • Protection of concrete from carbonation.
  • No corrosive effect on the reinforcing steel in concrete. 
  • Simple and low cost application.

Certified according to EN 1504-2 and classified as a coating for surface protection of concrete. Ce marked. Certificate No.: 2032-CPR-10.11. It is used for waterproofing concrete elements, masonry or plaster surfaces, in cases ranging from simple moisture to water under pressure. Also suitable for waterproofing basements, water tanks, swimming pools, sewage tanks, etc. It enables the internal waterproofing of underground areas, since it can withstand negative pressure (water from the substrate side), due to its absolute bonding to the substrate. In case the surface to be sealed shows or is expected to show hairline cracks, like terraces, balconies, etc., the two-component brushable waterproofing slurries, AQUAMAT-FLEX and AQUAMAT-ELASTIC, are recommended instead. 

Application
AQUAMAT is gradually added to water 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 must be free of standing water. The material is applied in two or more layers, depending on the water load and the consumption required. Layers thicker than 1 mm should be avoided, because the material may crack. Each new coat is applied after the previous one has dried. The freshly coated surface should be protected from high temperature, rain and frost.

For waterproofing unstable substrates subject to vibration or expansion-contraction, such as gypsum boards, chipboards, heated floors, terraced, balconies, swimming pools, etc., it is necessary to add 5-10 kg of ADIFLEX-B to 25 kg of AQUAMAT, plus the amount of water required to achieve the desired workability, in order to improve its flexibility.

  • In case of water under pressure, care should be taken so that pumping, which keeps the level low, does not stop before AQUAMAT has sufficiently hardened. About 7 days are needed. 
  • In case of water under pressure, the structure which bears the waterproofing layer (wall, floor, etc) should be properly designed in order to be sufficiently static to withstand hydrostatic pressure.
  • For walkable floors, the floor surface sealed with AQUAMAT should be protected with a cement screed layer.
  • Temperature during application should be at least +5 oC.
  • Due to cement content, AQUAMAT reacts with water forming alkaline solutions, thusis classified as irritant.
  • Consult the directions for safe use and precautions written on the packaging before use.
