Water-Based Waterproof Coating
AQUA GUARD POLYMER 600
Next-Generation 600% Elastic, Aliphatic, Water-Based Liquid Applied Waterproofing Membrane
DESCRIPTION
AQUA GUARD POLYMER 600 is a cutting-edge, single-component, water-based, aliphatic liquid applied waterproofing membrane produced with advanced polymer technology. It cures by drying to form a tough yet highly elastic film, delivering an impressive 600% elongation capacity. Completely solvent-free and supplied in a viscous liquid form, it is engineered for application on dry and slightly damp surfaces. Formulated through a specialized polymerization technique, AQUA GUARD POLYMER 600 dispersion offers exceptional UV resistance.
KEY FEATURES & ADVANTAGES
Superior Adhesion: Exceptional bonding strength to various structural substrates.
High Elasticity (%600): Crack-bridging capability; will not tear, crack, blister, or peel off over time.
Ready to Use: Single-component formulation, supplied ready for application without thinning.
Chemical & Corrosion Resistance: High defensive resistance against corrosion, chemicals, acids, petroleum products, grease, and salt water.
UV Stability: Completely unaffected by ultraviolet radiation, ensuring long-lasting outdoor performance.
Moisture Barrier: Seals surface pores effectively to prevent rising damp and negative moisture intrusion.
Biological Resistance: Highly resistant to fungi, bacteria, and aggressive environmental elements.
Mechanical Strength: High impact and abrasion resistance with an aesthetic glossy finish.
RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS
Terrace roofs and balconies
Foundation waterproofing and structural retaining walls, including membrane lap joint repairs
Metal and wooden roofing systems
Rehabilitation and overcoating of old, problematic bituminous waterproofing systems
Asphalt and concrete floors
Wet areas under ceramic tiles (bathrooms, WCs, showers, kitchens)
Waterproofing layer for precast concrete, painted/galvanized metal sheets, and GRP roof gutters
Exterior facades
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & CONSUMPTION
Standard Concrete Substrate Requirements:
Compressive Strength: R28 $\ge$ 15 MPa
Moisture Content: W < %10
Application Temperature: +5°C to +35°C
Relative Humidity: < %85
Consumption Rates:
By Roller or Brush (Minimum Total: 1.2 – 1.5 kg/m²):
1st Coat: 0.6 – 0.8 kg/m²
2nd Coat: 0.6 – 0.8 kg/m²
By Airless Spray (Minimum Total: 1.0 – 1.2 kg/m²):
1st Coat: 0.5 – 0.6 kg/m²
2nd Coat: 0.5 – 0.6 kg/m²
SURFACE PREPARATION & APPLICATION
Substrate Preparation: Application surfaces must be dry or slightly damp, clean, sound, load-bearing, and free from loose particles. Remove all bond-inhibiting residues such as oil, grease, dirt, paint, cement lautance, rust, formwork oil, and efflorescence.
Detailing: Form 45° chamfers (coves) at horizontal and vertical interior corners. Prime high-absorbency surfaces like concrete prior to main application.
Application Process: AQUA GUARD POLYMER 600 is single-component and ready to use. Mix thoroughly with a low-speed mixer until a homogeneous consistency is achieved. Apply using a brush, roller, or airless spray equipment. Non-woven geotextile reinforcement or mesh can be embedded into the wet first coat if required.
Recoating: Apply the second coat perpendicular (cross-layer fashion) to the first coat once it has dried (typically 2–4 hours depending on ambient temperatures).
PACKAGING & STORAGE
Packaging: 18 kg plastic pails
Shelf Life: Minimum 12 months from production date when stored in dry, unopened, original packaging at temperatures between +5°C and +25°C. Protect from frost and direct sunlight. Reseal opened containers tightly and consume as quickly as possible.
HEALTH & SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not apply on wet, frozen, or thawing substrates.
Avoid application during expected precipitation or rainy weather conditions.
Do not apply at extreme temperatures below +10°C or above +35°C. Never add water or dry powder to frozen or spoiled material.
Ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed working spaces and keep away from open flames and high heat sources.
Use personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid contact with skin, eyes, and mouth
