WATERPROOF, CEMENT-BASE COATING FOR EXTERIOR UNDERGROUND CONCRETE AND MASONRY

Description

MAXSEAL FOUNDATION is a construction grade cement based product which, together with special additives and selected aggregates gives it waterproofing characteristics, whether the foundations are in concrete or masonry. It gives great protection to foundation concrete thanks to its high resistance to aggressive waters

Uses

• Waterproofing of retaining walls, carparks, basements, elevator pits, tanks and dams.

Advantages

• Good adherence, it becomes incorporated to the support where it is applied, it fills and seals pores.

• It can be applied on wet surfaces not needing these to be dried.
• Lesser cost than any other traditional system.
  
• Large duration and superior to any others asphalt product.
  
• Unaffected by soil salts. In a positive application.
  
• Easy to apply with tampico type brush, obtaining large yields at its application.

Concrete and masonry foundation walls subject to great pressures and water aggressiveness.
Under these conditions, second layer must be applied with trowel.
A first MAXSEAL FOUNDATION layer with a 1,5 Kg / m2 load must be applied.

Once this first layer is set, apply a second layer with trowel with material enough to level the surface, approx. 7 Kg / m 2. This second layer is prepared adding to each 25 Kgs. MAXSEAL FOUNDATION bag, 12 Kgs. of siliceous sand.

To obtain a good MAXSEAL FOUNDATION adherence at the concrete or masonry wall, we recommend that the surface requires to be a medium to high porosity substrate. If not MAXSEAL FLEX should be used for extra surface adhesion.

Application

Concrete and masonry foundation walls Detach all oils and remnants from surface, as well as blooms or plaster. At the joining area between vertical wall and foundation slab, make a 2x3 cm. slot, refill it with maxrest or maxplug.Maxseal Flex is recommended for all cold joints, subject to future movement. If aggregate nests present in concrete, patch them with maxrest. Concrete scaffolding wires or passing rods must be cut and a superficial patch of minimum 1 cm. width must be made. Dampen surface with clean water and apply a first maxseal foundation layer with a 1,5 Kg / m2 load. After 8-hours curing, a second layer must be applied with a 1 Kg / m2 load.

Note: Any traces of efflorescence in negative waterproofing, should be high pressure water blasted and SILOXANE CLEAR introduced with two coats of MAXSEAL FLEX

Applications tools
MAXSEAL FOUNDATION can be applied with brush, MAXBRUSH type or tampico fiber brush to facilitate its penetration in pores and hollows. Apply a thick layer to form a continuous and even coating, do not extend as paint and apply it in only one direction. Second layer must be applied crosswise.

After material application, clean brushes with water for further use.

Application temperature
At summertime temperatures, wet the surface with abundant water .
If a fast drying is observed, water can be sprayed 2 hours after the product application.
In winter time do not apply at temperatures below 5º C or if lower temperatures are expected within the next 24 hours after the application.
It must not be applied on frozen or icy surfaces. Optimal working temperature is between 15 to 28º C.
Avoid application when rainfall is expected within the next 4-6 hours further to application.
