Excellent resistance to water vapour, saltwater,
dilute acids, and alkalis.
Heat flow resistance:
The cured film will not sag or flow under
service conditions.
Shelf life:
Minimum 12 months in sealed original
containers, under recommended storage
conditions.
COVERAGE
High built up is possible on account of the
thixotropic consistency of the product. Coverage
rates vary from 0.4 to 0.6 Kg/m2 depending on
the type of surface and built up thickness.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Surface Preparation:
▪ Concrete surfaces must be clean, sound, and
free from oil, grease, dirt, dust, and loose
particles. It is desirable to dampen the surface
with water if the concrete or blockwork is
very dry.
▪ It is recommended that metal surfaces be
wire brushed in order to remove loose rust,
mill scale, etc. wipe off oil and grease from
the surface with a suitable solvent.
