Aquabat - Water-based waterproofing - Zep Industries

Water-based waterproofing agent for the hydrophobic impregnation of porous , mineral supports such as French stone , natural stone, brick masonry, plaster layers, cellular concrete, concrete.

Properties :

• Avoids atmospheric dirt, the appearance of algae, crumbling due to rain and wind.
• Protects walls against moisture penetration.
  Prevents flaking of plaster.
• After drying, completely colorless, allows gas exchange, lets the supports breathe.
• Non-hazardous, non-toxic, free of solvents.
• After cleaning, the joinery can be painted normally.
• The walls become less humid, which provides better insulation and reduces heating costs.
• When applied in good atmospheric conditions, no emissions of substances dangerous to ecology or the atmosphere.
  Improvement of working conditions. pH-neutral.

Applications:

For the hydrophobic impregnation of porous, mineral supports such as French stone, natural stone, brick masonry, plaster layers, cellular concrete, concrete.
Also suitable for the hydrophobic treatment of mineral paints.

Manual :

1. The support must be clean; efflorescence and mold must be removed.
   Cracks larger than 0.3 mm must be sealed.
   The support must be completely dry, after rain, wait at least 24 hours and after cleaning the facade with high pressure, wait 3 days (dry weather).
2. Can be applied at temperatures between 10°C and 25°C.
   Excessive heating of the treated facades can be avoided by using covering material, nets and/or tarpaulins.
3. Application below 10°C can cause a significant slowdown in water evaporation.
4. Optimal water-repellent action is reached after 2 to 3 weeks, depending on atmospheric conditions.
5. The product is always used pure.
   Apply with a brush, gun or spray.
6. Always work from top to bottom.
7. Stop when the support no longer absorbs the product.
   Protect the treated façade against rain for at least 5 hours.
8. Lots of wind and direct sunlight can cause the solvent (water) to evaporate too quickly and therefore penetrate less deeply.
9. Covering power: depending on the porosity of the supports: 2-10 m² per liter.
   When it comes to new masonry, it is advisable to wait 28 days before applying the product.
10. Water repellency can be checked by visualizing the beading effect.
    Parts of the facade, such as glass, varnish, frames, plants, which cannot come into contact with the product must be protected or covered.
11. After drying, the active product is transparent and quite solid; it can possibly be removed from the glass using a small knife.

Conditioning :

20 L and 1000 L.
