Flexible Cementitious Waterproofing Membrane

DESCRIPTION

TREMproof® FCW is a 2 component and flexible cementitious waterproofing coating. It consists of special polymer pre-blended resin and fillers powder with graded fine quartz. TREMproof FCW is water based, non-toxic and non-hazardous.

Mixing of the two component results in a plastic, thixotropic and easily applicable compound, even to vertical surfaces.

BASIC USES

• Waterproof coatings of tanks, containers and water reservoirs, bathrooms, planter boxes, kitchens, ponds and swimming pools etc.
• Floors in garages, on parking areas, environmental decks and on specific roofs (protected) etc.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

TREMproof FCW replaces ordinary cementitious waterproofing screed and rendering in a very effective way:

• Fast setting time.
• Non-toxic.
• Breathable / can be applied on damp surface.
• Excellent adhesion to most common substrates.
• Waterproof.
• Flexible, good elongation properties.

PACKAGING

36KG per set

COLOURS

Grey

COVERAGE

Minimum 2 coats at approximately 1.0 kg/m2 per coat

INSTALLATION

• Apply the well-mixed TREMproof FCW slurry with a brush, roller, or rubber squeegee onto the substrate.
• The recommended thickness of the coat to be applied is 1 to 2mm for walls and 1.8mm to 2mm for floors, depending on the expected water pressure.
• The required thickness is achieved by applying 2 layers, taking care that each layer is approximately 1.0 mm.
• Leave the first coating to dry for 2-3 hours before applying the second coat.
• Leave the second coat of TREMproof FCW to cure overnight before proceeding to conduct water ponding test.
• Exposed surfaces must be protected against direct UV-radiation. This can be done with a layer of screed, an Aluminum paint sprinkling of sand or laying of thermal insulation sheets.

LIMITATIONS

• Not to be used as a trafficable or UV stable waterproof membrane.
• Not to be used below grade.
• Do not apply to contaminated surfaces.
• The surface temperature for product application should be between 10°C and 30°C. The curing process will slow down substantially when substrate or ambient temperatures are below 10°C or where relative humidity is >85%.
