DESMOFLEX® Aqua
Description
DESMOFLEX® Aqua is a high quality white, aliphatic, polyurethane water-based membrane of one component, suitable for long-term waterproofing. Its unique composition is designed to create a single, elastic, hydrophobic membrane that completely covers capillaries and cracks up to 2mm. It offers high protection against humidity (suitable for surfaces with stagnating waters) as well as very high protection against solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation and mechanical stressing. After application, the surface remains walkable and resistant to stagnating waters, maintaining high whiteness over time.
Application Fields
- Suitable for long term waterproofing of roofs, terraces, balconies and asphalt felts, EPDM or PVC membrane
- Waterproofing of horizontal surfaces from concrete, cement mortars etc., especially for surfaces with stagnating waters
Advantages
- Perfect waterproofing, resistance to stagnating waters, high performance, elasticity and walkability
- Resistant to humidity and ultraviolet radiation
- Suitable for cracks up to 2mm
- Guaranteed long-term protection of the substrate
- User-friendly, it neither peels off nor contributes to the development of fungi and maintains its properties at temperatures between -15°C and +80°C
- It reflects solar radiation and offers lower temperatures in the summer
- Economical solution and perfect results
- High mechanical strength
- It is applied easily and offers a smooth and snow-white surface. It never fades and prevents dust and dirt from staying on the surface. No holes are created on the surface during the maturation of the material
- It can be applied even on cloudy days because the final polymerization of the material is carried out through evaporation, thus cloudy conditions are also favourable
Application Steps
The substrate should be steady and all loose materials should have been removed. Wash the substrate with plenty of water under pressure in order to remove any remains, such as dust, oil and grease. Remove also all stagnating waters. In case the concrete is decayed or there are cracks wider than 1,5 mm, the defects should first be repaired and the cracks filled with one of THRAKON repairing materials depending on the case.
Step 2Before the application of the material the substrate should be treated with water-based DESMOFLEX EPOXY PRIMER or with GLX 292 FLEX PRIM acrylic primer.
Step 3The substrate should be completely dry before application.
Step 4Effective waterproofing requires two crosswise layers. For brush, roller or airless sprayer application, dilute with 5% water for the first layer. Apply the second layer after the first has completely dried (24 hours). For two days after the application, the surfaces should remain dry.
Step 5When the substrate is severely cracked the product should be applied in at least three layers and it should be reinforced with THRAKON FABRIC.
Step 6Application is not recommended when temperatures fall below +10°C or rise above +40°C, when the relative atmospheric humidity is >80% οr when the surface humidity is >4%.
Step 7DESMOFLEX AQUA takes the form of a membrane 7 days after application.
Storage
The pails must be stored, tightly closed, in dry and cool rooms for up to 36 months from production date, provide that the product has not been diluted.
