Features

• Exceptional water resistance: Prevents water from penetrating.
• Excellent UV resistance: Forms excellent barrier against UV rays.
• Waterbased: Easy to apply and clean up.
• No need for using membrane: The paint already contains strong fibers for strength.
• 100% lead free.

Intended Usages

• For waterproofing corrugated iron roofs, tile roofs and fibre cement roofs.
• Parapet walls.
• Insides of gutters.

Application Details

• Mixing: Stir before use with a flat paddle to an even consistency. Stir occasionally during use.
• Method: Brush only. Apply the second coat perpendicular to the first coat.
• Thinning: Not recommended.
• Cleaning: Remove as much of the product as possible from the application equipment before cleaning with water when wet, ProGold Lacquer Thinners when dry.

Conditions:

• Temperature between 5°C and 40°C.
• Relative humidity of less than 85%, preferably between 10: 00 and 16: 00.
• Ideally apply when the temperature of the substrate is at least 2°C above dew point.
• If possible away from direct sunlight.

Drying time: 
24-48 hours at 23°C depending on weather conditions. 
Note:  Higher temperatures will accelerate the drying times (approximately halved for every 10°C increase), whilst lower temperatures will retard the drying time (approximately doubled for every 10°C decrease).

Recoating time: 24 hours at 23°C.

Requirements: Two coats at 1-2m²/litre per coat. Second coat needs to be applied perpendicular to the first coat.
