Stir well before use. As damp-proof membrane, two coats of Aquaproof – RBE is recommended. Apply the first coat at a thickness of 200 to 500 microns. Allow a minimum of 4 hours between the first coat and the second coat. The second coat should be applied at right angles as curing compound, one coat of Aquaproof RBE is sufficient it can be applied on the green concrete this would prevent rapid evaporation of water and formation of shrinkage cracks.

SURFACE PREPARATION

Surfaces must be clean, sound and free from oil, grease, dirt, dust and loose particles. It is desirable to dampen the surface with water if the concrete or block work is dry.

PRIMING

Normally priming is not required, however priming the surface is recommended when the surface is very dry and porous. For priming use one coat of Bitugulf AQUAPROOF.
