GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Single-component, aliphatic, colored, satin finishing resin, for treatment, decoration, and protection of Desmopol and Tecnocoat waterproofing liquid membranes. Once dried it forms a flexible, continuous film, resistant to weathering, UV radiation and to light walkable traffic.
• 8 minute initial dry, 3 hours ready for foot traffic
• It is delivered in any non-metallic RAL color (check the delivery conditions of minimum quantities in the price list)
• It can be applied on surfaces from zero slopes, on different types of substrates: concrete, mortar, cement, ceramics, metal, wood, and Tecnocoat and Desmopol membranes (for UV rays protection)
• The application must be carried out in conditions without the presence of moisture in the substrate or water coming from the substrate or backfill, either at the time of application or later (pressure due to the water table…). In the case of existing moisture in the substrate at the time of application, consult the technical data sheets of our primers where the ranges of resistance to moisture are specified.
• Use the same batch of product in each area of application to avoid the minimum and possible color change
• Do not apply in swimming pools, ponds, aquariums, or in general in immersion situations. (for this use, use Tecnotop 2CP)
• Do not apply in areas with intense vehicular or pedestrian traffic (for this use, use Tecnotop 2C)

YIELD

The yield can vary depending on the coats needed to be made according to the use or the type of substrate. Consumption is variable depending on the coats to be implemented, the type of support or the use for which the support is intended. Consumption is about 70-100 g/sqm/coat.

PACKAGING

Metal pail in two formats: 5 kg /20 kg

SHELF LIFE

 12 months stored at temperatures between 5 and 35°C (41 to 95 ºF), provided it is stored in a dry place. Once the tin has been opened, it must be used.

APPLICATION METHOD

The following factors prior to application should be checked:

• previous preparation of the substrate according to its type
• existing holes or areas with a lack of material must be repaired using some or our epoxy resins: Primer EP-1020/Primer EP-1010
• joint filling with Mastic PU
• in existing dilatations joints: remove old material, clean, and fill with Mastic PU. Use also Tecnoband 100 to cover, if necessary.
• general cleaning of the substrate, removing existing dust, dirt, grease, or efflorescence

TECNOCOAT/DESMOPOL, waterproofing membranes substrates

• clean up the surface or substrate, removing any dust, dirt, grease, or efflorescence
• apply Primer PU-1000/PRIMER EPw-1070, with a yield of approximately 50~70  g/sqm, if the time of application of membrane(TECNOCOAT or DESMOPOL) is over 24~48 h, and depending on the state of the substrate or the surface's porosity too.
• apply thin coats by a short nap acrylic wool roller or "airless" equipment

Cement or concrete substrates

• the concrete must be completely cured (the curing process is 28 days), or in any case, it is necessary to check the maximum degree of moisture permittivity of the substrate depending on the primer to be used
• processes to prepare the substrate (sanding, polishing, shot-blasting or milling) to remove surface laitance, and release agents, as well as to open the surface pore and achieve a suitable anchoring profile.
• Existing holes or areas with a lack of material must be repaired using some of our epoxy resins: Primer EP-1020/Primer EP-1010.
• joint filling with Mastic PU
• in existing work joints: empty of old material, clean and fill with Mastic PU. Complement the joints with Tecnoband 100 if necessary.
• cleaning of the substrate, removing existing dust, dirt, grease or efflorescence by mechanical suction
• primer application, recommended Primer PU-1050/Primer PUc-1050 , total consumption approx. 250 g/sqm (applied in several thin coats) or Primer WET depending on the existing humidity in the substrate and with a total consumption of 450 g/sqm (apply in one single coat) . Primer consumption may vary depending on the physical characteristics of the substrate or its absorption coefficient.
• apply thin coats by a short nap acrylic wool roller or "airless" equipment

Ceramic substrates

• light-sanding of the surface. This action will open the pore, clean of adhered efflorescence or dirt, and regularization of the surface by extracting the raised or unattached areas, without adding water.
• ceramic substrate there should be no empty joints, elements, or loose pieces. They must be filled with Mastic PU, or with some of our epoxy resins: Primer EP-1020/Primer EP-1010; also use cementitious materials.
• joint filling with Mastic PU
• in existing work joints: empty of old material, clean and fill with Mastic PU. Complement the joints with Tecnoband 100 if necessary.
• cleaning of the substrate, removing existing dust, dirt, grease or efflorescence by mechanical suction
• primer application, recommended Primer EP-1040, total consumption approx. 100-150 g/sqm (applied in several thin coats), or Primer EPw-1070 (applied in several thin coats), total consumption approx. 150-200 g/sqm. Primer consumption may vary depending on the physical characteristics of the substrate or its absorption coefficient.
• apply thin coats by a short nap acrylic wool roller or "airless" equipment

Painted surfaces

• if the existing paint is in good condition, clean its surface with a mixture of water and an industrial detergent, wait to dry
• If the situation of the existing paint is not optimal sanding of the surface will be carried out, to avoid the contribution of water to the substrate. This action will open the pore, clean of adhered efflorescence or dirt, and regularization of the surface by extracting the raised or unattached areas, without adding water.
• cleaning of the substrate, removing existing dust, dirt, grease or efflorescence by mechanical suction
• primer application, recommended Primer EPw-1070, total consumption approx. 150-200 g/sqm (applied in several thin coats). Primer consumption always subject to the physical characteristics of the substrate and its absorption coefficient.
• apply thin coats by a short nap acrylic wool roller or "airless" equipment

APPLICATION FINISHINGS

If desired, an anti-slip finish can be created with the following methods:

Multilayer method with SILICA SAND

• application of a first one by means of a short-haired acrylic wool roller or "airless" type equipment and carried out in thin coats(approximate consumption of 70-100 g/sqm/coat)
• Spreading on the wet substrate Silica Sand in the consumption desired by the customer. Hence an anti-slip surface is achieved to enable the system to have a degree of slip resistance.
• wait for it to dry and remove the aggregate not adhered to the surface; refill with aggregates areas not defined correctly, if necessary
• vacuum up non-adhering aggregates
• application of a second coat by short nap acrylic wool roller or "airless" equipment and carried out in thin coats (approximate consumption of 70-100 g/sqm/coat)

Addition of TECNOPLASTIC F/C

• mix Tecnoplastic F/C, mixing ratio:maximum 8-9% (recommended 7%) in the resin pail.
• stirr/mix with electric mixer at medium speed until homogenize
• spread in one coat, using a short nap acrylic wool roller and made in thin coat (approximate consumption of 70-100 g/sqm/coat)
• if necessary, apply a second final coat without mixing with Tecnoplastic F/C.

NOTE: For other types of substrates, weather conditions or final use, consult our technical department.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

These safety recommendations for handling, are necessary for the implementation process as well as in the pre and post, on exposure to the loading machinery.

• Respiratory Protection: When handling or spraying use an air-purifying respirator.
• Skin protection: Use rubber gloves, remove immediately after contamination. Wear clean body-covering. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after work and before eating, drinking or smoking.
• Eye / Face: Wear safety goggles to prevent splashing and exposure to particles in the air.
• Waste generation should be avoided or minimized. Incinerate under controlled conditions in accordance with local laws and national regulations.

Consult the material and safety data sheet of the product (MSDS), or contact our technical department.
