Brush applicable bitumen emulsion. Thick liquid formed of water emulsified bitumen blend suitable to be used as a protective coating for concrete, masonry and as primer for Bituminous membranes.
The recommended rate of application is 2.5m per liter depending on site condition.
As with all Bitumen products caution should always be exercised. Protective clothing such as gloves and goggles should be worn. Treat any splashes to the skin or eyes immediately with fresh water. Should any of the products be accidentally swallowed, do not induce vomiting call for medical assistance immediately. Ensure that the container is available for medical attendants to examine any relevant instructions and content details.
The surface shall be cleaned thoroughly of all contaminants like dust, traces of curing compound, oil and grease. All surface imperfections. protrusions, structurally unsound and friable concrete must be removed.
This preparation shall be such as to leave a sound exposed concrete surface free from dust, loose particles and any deleterious matter. If the concrete
ASFABIT is a cold applied water based bitumen with special additives. It is a blend of selected bitumen emulsified with water to give an easily applied protective coating. Once cured, ASFABIT forms a seamless film with great adhesion to the substrate.
For waterproofing underground structures, the bituminous emulsion shall be applied by brush or squeegee at a maximum rate of 200 microns per coat. The two coats must be applied at right angles to one another with a minimum of 6-hour intervals between each application at 25°C. Each coat must be completely dry before the next coat is applied.
Anionic latex modified bitumen emulsion; Latex Rubber content of dry film 15% minimum. It is dark brown in color, the product also contains a quantity of bio-acid to inhibit the growth of bacteria and mould both in the product itself and subsequent to application. These properties impart excellent durability and waterproofing characteristics
Used for waterproofing in wet areas (bathrooms and kitchens) and as a damp proofing membrane in sandwich construction as a general-purpose waterproofer for walls, floors, other structures, and as a vapor seal as well. It's also an effective adhesive and bonding agent for insulation boards, cork panels etc. It's practically suitable where some movements of structure are expected, exhibits much better permeability and elasticity characteristics than similar material without latex.
The surface to be treated should be cleaned, remove dust. grease etc., should be applied by brush, roller or by spraying equipment for large surfaces on concrete or other absorbent surfaces first apply a coat of AQUATEX 2000.
