Terrace Waterproofing Products

Product Details:

POLYALK WP is a most effective and proven polymeric waterproofing solution.

USES:

• Roof slabs – flat or sloping, chajjas, folded plate roofs, vaulted roofs, domes etc.
• Flooring, external walls.
• Sunk portion of bathrooms, toilets, balconies, etc.
• Overhead or underground water tanks and other large reservoirs.
• Mortars for filling joints of C.I. or any other drainage pipes.
• As an admixture for providing waterproof plaster to external walls especially in high rise buildings.
• As waterproof additive to any cementbased paints used as a finishing coat.

ADVANTAGES:

• Can be easily mixed with cement forming an impermeable co-matrix film.
• High flexural strength and extraordinary adhesion of polymer reinforces the high compressive strength property of cementitious matrix.
• Alkaline and compatible with concrete.
• Does not facilitate carbonation.
• Can be applied in moist conditions e.g: exteriors, terraces and chajjas in wet spells of monsoon, underground and/ or overhead water tanks almost immediately after emptying.
• Moisten the surface with water jet 24 hours prior to the application of POLYALK WP.
• Mix 1 part of POLYALK WP and 1.25 parts fresh white or grey cement by weight using a low-speed stirrer, to form a slurry.
• Continuous hand-mixing to a lump-free consistency may also be adequate.
• Keep the mix continuously stirred.
• Apply the slurry by brush to the damp surface.
• Apply two more coats of similar slurry at 24 hrs intervals.
• Allow to set for 48 hours.
• Cure the coating for 7 days by sprinkling water three times a day on the vertical surface (external walls) and using moist gunny bags on the horizontal surface (terraces).
• For best results, it is necessary to sandwich the cured coating of POLYALK WP with a screed layer.
• Can be mixed with any cement based paint and can thus have any desired colour shade.
• Can be used as a base waterproofing coat. After curing, it can receive Sunext–8 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:

• Preparation of the surface to be waterproofed is very important.
• Repair and make good any faulty concrete in the form of cracks, honey combing etc mortar.
• Cure the repaired cracks as per the usual norms.
• Remove all curing compounds and sealers.
• Scrub and clean the surface.
• Remove laitance, dirt, paint, loose flakes or particles or other foreign matter etc. using a vacuum cleaner or high pressure water jet or wet sandblasting or wirenbrushing.
• Ensure that the concrete surface possesses an open surface texture.
• Fill hairline cracks with POLYFILL AR, large cracks with POLYALK EP

CONFORMANCE: Confirms to flexibility and adhesion test as per I.S. 101.

COVERAGE : Approximately 5-5.5 M2 / Kg per coat depending on the nature of the surface.

STORAGE & SHELF LIFE : 12 months when stored in cool , dry place, away from direct sunlight, in original sealed packing

Product Details:

STARPROOF WF-SP-600 is a special synthetic resin based waterproof coating. Because of its excellent flexibility and thixotropic nature it is ideal for use on vertical as well as horizontal surfaces. It is single pack, very economical and pollution free water proof coating. Due to its white color, it has excellent UV Resistance.

Product Details:

Dr. Fixit Roofseal is a single component cold applied elastomeric waterproofing coating based on synthetic resin emulsion. It is a tough yet extremely flexible coating that can be efficiently applied to any thickness by roller or squeegee creating a fully adhered waterproofing coating with no wastage. It is water based with low VOC’s that is sustainable for years as a waterproofing coating.

Areas of Application

• Waterproofing of flat concrete roofs 
• As an external protective coating for block works before fixing Aluminum Composite Panels 

Features & Benefits

• Waterproofing - High film build up provides excellent water resistance
• Elastomeric - Excellent flexibility and elongation properties - can easily accommodate all normal building movements. 
• Seamless - Can be applied to complex shapes to form a seamless and highly durable water proofing coating. 
• Adhesion - Adheres firmly to most of building surfaces including concrete, brick etc. both horizontal and vertical surfaces. 
• Water based – Easy cleaning of tools and brushes by water. 
• Easy to apply - Suitable consistency for easy application by brush, roller or squeegee

Method of Application:
SURFACE PREPARATION : Surface preparation is generally limited to cleaning by broom brush or compressed air. All surfaces to be applied must be free from dust, loose material, oil, or any other material which may impair adhesion of the material. All surface cracks up to 5 mm wide should be filled up with the same material and pre-striped prior to application of the material. All joints of vertical up stand should have 50 x 50 mm angle fillets prepared with sand -cement mortar; mixed with Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP.

PRIMING: Primer is required only for high absorbent surface such as light weight concrete. Primer recommended to be used is Dr. Fixit Torchshield Primer, when the surface is completely dry

APPLICATION : Apply a coat of Dr. Fixit Roofseal over an angle fillet as a reinforcing strip all around the parapet wall and allow drying. Apply on all vertical up stand at an average girth of 200 mm. Apply 2 coats Dr. Fixit Roofseal at 0.75 ltrs / m2/ coat, at an interval of 12 hrs between the coats and allow drying completely. 

Water ponding test: 

• After full drying of second coat for at least 72 hrs, a water ponding test can be performed by filling water on the terrace by carefully blocking all the down take drain outlets without damaging the coating. The test shall be carried out for 48 hrs by filling water up to 50 mm level. Observe for leakages if any and then remove the water and allow the coating to dry completely for about 24 hrs before proceeding further. 
• Spread 100 grm/m2 geotextile over, before a concrete screed is laid. Protect the coating with a concrete screed in M 20 grade. The protective screed should be of minimum 50 mm thickness maintaining an average slope of 1:100 towards the drain outlets for effective and efficient draining of water. After the application of screed, provide control joints along the length and breadth of entire screed area. The joint can be provided by using a saw cutting machine attached with a 3 mm blade. The joints will be 12 mm wide and 12 mm deep. 28-30 days later, these joints can be filled with a suitable elastomeric sealant.
