Water-Based Waterproof Coating

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

1. 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.

2. Detailing: Form 45° chamfers (coves) at horizontal and vertical interior corners. Prime high-absorbency surfaces like concrete prior to main application.

3. 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.

4. 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
