two-componentepoxy resinfor concrete

Holds back rising damp on new or old concrete floors Withstands 98% relative humidity New 'easy application' formula Holds back rising damp Can be overcoated with most Watco coatings Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane can be used on new or old concrete and sand and cement floors to hold back damp. Recommended areas of use Concrete floors subject to rising damp New or old concrete floors where a DPM has failed or was never installed Suitable for heavy wear areas Use on areas of damp concrete which cannot be surface dried prior to painting Features 100% solids, high build coating Virtually solvent free liquid epoxy resin damp-proofer Withstands 98% RH Holds back rising damp where a damp proof membrane is either missing or defective Can be over painted after 16 hours with most types of floor coatings Application Preparation Concrete & sand and cement screed – should be sound, clean and free of any contaminants liable to prevent penetration into the substrate or adhesion to the surface. Machine scarifying or shot blasting are ideal ways to clean and prepare large areas of concrete and remove contaminants. Use a vacuum to remove all surface dust. Very smooth or power floated concrete – should be shot blasted to provide a good key for the Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane to bond to. Use a vacuum to remove all surface dust. Underfloor heating systems – should be switched off at least two days prior to the application of Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane and left for a minimum of two days before switching back on. Once switched on, the underfloor heating should gradually be turned up a few degrees at a time.
