CIM® 800 is a tough, weather durable, waterproofing coating specifically formulated to meet the demands of waterproofing above or below grade. This two component, cold, liquid applied urethane coating adheres to most materials to form a permanent seamless barrier to water. It is especially well suited for roofs over critical spaces (e.g. clean rooms, control rooms), green roofs, plaza decks, areas with multiple penetrations and curbs, and between-slab waterproofing.

Product Type: 2K (2 component) Coating

Advantages

CIM 800 is specifically formulated to meet the demands of today’s waterproofing market. This tough urethane coating offers exceptional performance

  • Liquid applied and self adhering to most materials used in roofing construction.
  • Tested to ANSI 118.10-199, “Standard Specification for Load Bearing, Bonded, Waterproof
  • Membrane for Thin-Set Ceramic Tile and Dimension Stone Installation”.
  • Can be applied to complex areas with multiple penetrations and curbs.
  • Coating is tough enough to stand up to normal pedestrian traffic.
  • Environmentally sound, complying with the toughest VOC standards.
  • Accepts aggregate toppings as an integral part of the system for color, texture, traction, and added UV resistance.
  • An excellent gutter material.
  • Self flashing
Product Highlights

CIM 61TN epoxy primer is a two-component, high solids, epoxy coating:

  • Used as a primer for porous and non-porous surfaces such as concrete and metal
  • ANSI/NSF 61 approved for potable water contact up to 82°C.

Applications & Uses

Application Method
Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
Surface Preparation

General

  • Substrates must be clean and surface dry with no oils, grease or loose debris.
  • CIM Bonding Agent is recommended on all non-porous substrates.
  • Perform adhesion tests to confirm adequacy of surface preparation.

Concrete

  • ICRI-CSP 4-6 surface profile exposing aggregate.
  • Concrete must exhibit minimum 3,000 psi compressive strength and be free of release agents and curing compounds.
  • The substrate must be clean, surface dry and free of contaminates.

Steel

  • Minimum 3 mil profile.
  • Non-Immersion service – SSPC-SP6 / NACE No. 3 Commercial Blast.
  • Use CIM Bonding Agent for greater adhesion.

Other Metals

SSPC-SP1 solvent clean and abrasive blast to roughen and degloss the surface.

Glass

Thoroughly clean. CIM Bonding Agent must be used for increased adhesion.
Wood

Substrate must be clean, surface dry and free of surface contamination.

Previous Coatings and Linings

CIM 800 may be applied over some existing coatings and linings and achieve acceptable performance. CIM Bonding Agent is recommended for greater adhesion. Finished
system results vary due to a variety of project specific factors, including the service conditions to which the system is exposed. Therefore, C.I.M. Industries does not accept
responsibility for determining the suitability of an existing coating or lining as a substrate for CIM products. Owner shall perform adhesion tests on any existing coating or lining to
determine suitability.

Earth : Use CIM Scrim

Color

CIM 800 is initially shiny black, turning dull over 3 to 6 months when exposed to direct sunlight. For a colored or reflecting surface finish,

Temperature Conditions

Surface should be at least 50°F (10°C) and must be 5°F (3°C) above the dew point. Do not apply when the substrate or ambient temperature is rising or coating is in direct sunlight. CIM 800 should be at least 50°F (10°C) when mixed and applied. CIM 800 may be preheated to facilitate application at low temperatures, but working time will be reduced. See C.I.M. Industries’ Instruction Guide “Applying CIM Coatings in Cold Weather” (IG–11).

Mixing

DO NOT THIN. DO NOT HAND MIX. Begin mixing each pail (4.5 gal.) of CIM 800 Premix using a power mixer (e.g. 1/ 2” drill and an eight inch mud mixer). Do not draw air into the mix. While mixing, slowly add one jug (0.5 gal.) of CIM 800 Activator to the pail and mix thoroughly for 3 FULL MINUTES. The proportions are pre-measured. DO NOT ESTIMATE. Mixing Jigs and Timers are available from C.I.M. Industries to help eliminate mixing errors and increase productivity on the job. See C.I.M. Industries’ Instruction Guide, “Mixing CIM Premix and Activator” (IG–8).

Application

Apply CIM 800 directly to a clean and dry substrate. Vertical surfaces will require multiple coats.

Equipment

Spray equipment requires large diameter hose and air supplied mastic gun. Airless pump may be used to provide fluid side pressure. Roller, squeegee and trowel may also be used.

Priming

Porous substrates such as wood and concrete may be primed with CIM Epoxy Primer to minimize outgassing. The maximum recoat window for CIM Epoxy Primer is 48 hours. 

Recoating

CIM 800 may be recoated in 1 hour and must be recoated soon after the coating no longer comes off on polyethylene (typically within 4 hours of mixing). If the coating has cured longer than this time, the surface must be severely abraded using surface grinder or other mechanical means, and be free of dust and debris. Use CIM Bonding Agent for better adhesion.

Recommended Minimum Thickness

Recommended minimum thickness of the coating is 60 wet mils. 

Curing Time

Typically, CIM 800 can be placed in service within 24-48 hours. 

Clean-up

Use mineral spirits for clean-up of uncured material. Spray equipment must be flushed regularly during application to prevent material from setting up in the hose and pump. Cured material is very difficult to remove. Soaking in solvent will soften the material and may assist in its removal.

Safety & Health

Precautions

Avoid contamination with water or moisture. Keep all pails and jugs tightly closed until ready for use. All equipment, air supplies, and application substrates must be ABSOLUTELY DRY. Do not apply in wet weather or when rain is imminent or when the CIM 800 or the substrate may become wet within 4 hours after coating. Use caution when applying CIM 800 in confined spaces.

Safety Information

This product contains petroleum asphalt, petroleum distillates, amine compounds and/or other chemical ingredients. Adequate health and safety precautions should be observed during storage, handling, application and curing.

Warning Flammable : Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not store or use near open flame, sparks or hot surfaces. Keep tightly closed. Avoid contact with moisture or water. Keep out of reach of children.
