Protecta Waterproofer 3 Litres

Protecta Waterproofer can be used on many building materials, including:

– Protecta EX Mortar and other mortars
– Plaster
– Porous concrete and concrete (perfectly suited for concrete repair)
– Limestone and natural stone
– Industrial made bricks and clinker

APPLICATION

Prepare
Before application, ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry and free from grease, dirt, dust, and other contaminants. Remove all existing paints and coatings until you have a sound surface. If a stirrer is used, ensure it is cleaned thoroughly.

Apply
Ensure good ventilation. The product can be applied with a roller or brush. Apply 200 g/m2 in one layer for sufficient protection on most surfaces, but not more than 400 g/m2.
Please note, this is guidance only and not specific, as the absorption behaviour of substrates can be very different. It is recommended to test smaller areas to determine the actual needed amount. The active ingredient penetrates the substrate from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the porosity of the substrate. The milky-white cream colour usually disappears without any residues and without a colour intensifying effect, provided that the treated surface has a minimum level of absorption capability. If in doubt, it is recommended to test smaller areas first.

LIMITATIONS

Protecta Waterproofer is not suited to be applied on substrates that provide no, or very low absorption capacity, such as:

– Belgian hard stone (Arduin)
– Dense or polished marble
– Granite
– Similar substrates

Protecta Waterproofer is not suited for submerged usage, and should not be in contact with bitumen or bitumen-like materials, synthetic resins or acrylate-based coatings (e.g. concrete paints). Please avoid applying over coatings and insulating materials as damage may occur. In case of contact, please remove the product immediately with plenty of cold water.
