Surface Preparation
  • Ensure all areas are clean, dry and free from dust, dirt, corrosion and general surface contamination.
  • All oils, grease, etc. should be removed with suitable degreasing solution.
  • Always prime the substrate see PMMA-Based Universal Primer.
Advice on Application
  • Due to exothermic reaction with mixing process, please ensure the product is mixed in a steel container.
  • First stir the PMMA-Based Waterproofing liquid Coating with a paddle mixer thoroughly.
  • Then add the PMMA Catalyst while stirring the waterproofing liquid coating at a slow speed.
  • Mix for 1 - 2 minutes.
  • You must not dose less than the given quantity of PMMA Catalyst, as this will jeopardize the curing process.
  • You must also avoid overdosing the PMMA Catalyst, as this can likewise lead to serious curing problems.
  • The material must be applied as soon as the PMMA Catalyst has finished dissolving in the resin components.
Equipment Cleaning
  • If work is interrupted or when it is completed, clean the tools thoroughly with cleaning agent within the pot life of the material.
  • This can be done with a brush.
  • Do not use the tools again until the cleaning agent has evaporated fully.
  • Simply immersing the tools in the cleaning agent will not prevent the material from hardening.
