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.
