Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- Surface Preparation
Substrate shall be dry, clean, sound and free of release agents, paint or other residue or coatings. Damaged sheathing must be removed and replaced.
Avoid application over irregular surfaces.
Substrate to be coated must be continuous without joints, holes, etc. exceeding 1/32" (0.8 mm) in size. Sheathing must be properly installed as required by applicable building codes or sheathing manufacturer.
- Mixing
Mix with a clean, rust-free electric drill and paddle until thoroughly blended.
Dilution of tique wall systems liquid weather resistive barrier is not recommended.
- Application
Clean, dry, properly prepared, frost-free surfaces are needed for application. Tique Wall Systems joint and rough opening treatment required for sheathing joints, inside and outside. Spot fasteners, knots or other voids in sheathing surface. Pre-spot all fasteners with Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard if using Tique Wall Systems Sheathing Fabric including all other voids and spot surface defects such as overdriven fasteners, knots and voids.
Gypsum Sheathing, Glass-Mat Gypsum Sheathing, Exterior Plywood / Exterior - Apply Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard to prepared substrate using spray equipment that can support a minimum 1 Gallon per minute (GPM) and a .031 mil tip at 3000+ psi., or with the appropriate size nap roller in a single, uniform coating at a wet thickness of 10 mils. Application over Glass-Mat Gypsum Sheathing, plywood and exterior gypsum sheathing: use a 1/2" (13 mm) nap roller.
Oriented Strand Board (OSB) - A two-coat application of Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard is required over OSB. The first coat is applied over the prepared substrate prior to treating sheathing joints, rough openings, and corners. Apply Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard by spray or roller with a 1/2" (13mm) nap roller in a single, uniform coating at a wet thickness of 10 mils and allow drying. For air barrier, sheathing joints, rough openings, and corners must then be covered with Tique Wall Systems joint treatment. Substrate to receive the second coat of Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard must be continuous without joints, holes, etc. exceeding 1/32" (0.8 mm) in size. The second coat of Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard must be applied over the treated surface in a single, uniform coating to a wet thickness of 10 mils.
Concrete Masonry Wall Construction - Concrete masonry wall construction must be structurally sound, clean, dry, and free from damage, frost, and all bond-inhibiting material, including dust, dirt, mold, algae, and efflorescence. Repair cracks up to 1/8 inch (3 mm) wide by filling. Rake the crack with a sharp tool to remove loose or friable material, and blow clean with oil-free compressed air. For cracks wider than 1/8" (3 mm) and up to 1/4" (6 mm) wide, use a paintable acrylic latex caulk to fill the crack, tool flush with the surface, and allow drying completely. For moving cracks consult a structural engineer. Protect crack repair materials from rain and freezing until dry.
Air and Moisture Barrier
Spray-applied over CMU - Apply Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard uniformly with suitable spray equipment. Backroll to fill the surface and allow drying. Apply a second uniform coat of Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard and back-roll to achieve void / pinhole free surface. Depending on the condition of the surface, a minimum of 10 wet mils up to a maximum of 30 wet mils per coat is required. Apply additional coats if needed to achieve a void / pinhole free surface.
Roller-applied over CMU - Apply Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard uniformly with a 3/4 inch (19 mm) nap roller and allow drying. Apply a second uniform coat of Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard to achieve a void and pinhole free surface. Depending on the condition of the surface a minimum of 10 wet mils up to a maximum of 30 wet mils per coat is required. Apply additional coats if needed to achieve a void and pinhole free surface.
Important Note - Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard functions as a waterproof air barrier on normal weight concrete masonry unit wall construction with flush (struck flush with the surface of the CMU) or concave joints when a minimum of two liberal coats are applied. Additional coats may be necessary depending on the condition of the CMU wall surface, CMU porosity, joint profile, and other variables that may exist. For ”rough” CMU wall surfaces, skim coat the entire surface with Tique Wall Systems cementitious leveler before application of Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard. A void and pinhole free surface must be achieved for Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard to properly function as a waterproof air barrier on CMU wall surfaces.
Curing/Drying - Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard is dry to touch and can be over coated within 2-4 hours under normal conditions [70ºF (21ºC), 50% RH]. Wait 24 hours before adhesive attachment of Tique Wall Systems insulation board. Final drying varies depending on temperature / humidity and surface conditions. Protect from rain and freezing until completely dry.
Material Storage - Keep containers covered to protect from skinning. If skin forms, remove the skinned material from container; remaining material is unaffected by skinned material.
Clean Up - Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use. Dried material can only be removed mechanically.

- Limitations
- Apply only when the surface and ambient temperatures are above 40°F (4°C) and below 100ºF (38ºC) during application and drying period.
- Not recommended for use when cool, damp conditions exist for prolonged periods. Cool, damp conditions retard drying and may require extended periods of protection.
- Do not use on damp surfaces, below grade, or on surfaces subject to water immersion.
- Not recommended for use over fire-retardant treated or pressure treated plywood substrates.
- Not recommended for spanning sheathing joints or holes in excess of 1/8" (3 mm) wide.
- Contact Tique Wall Systems Technical Service for additional information regarding coverage over different brands.
- Ventilate temporary heaters to the exterior to prevent water vapor from accumulating on or within the wall assembly materials.
- Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard can be left exposed to weather for up to 6 months of installation to protect the substrate.
- When Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard is used in conjunction with Tique Wall Systems Continuous Insulation Systems ensure the Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard surface is clean, dry, and free of surface contamination. Install Tique Wall Systems Continuous Insulation System Board within 30 days of the application of Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard, or clean the surface and recoat with Tique Wall Systems Aqua Guard.
