A12

Application

A12 is used for waterproofing of basement walls, showers and patio floors (prior to tilling), and external walls prior to tiling.

Technical Specifications

Method of application:

Clean the surface thoroughly to remove all dirt. Roll with cement mortar at all wall-floor seams, if required. Narrow and deep holes should be sealed, using cement mortar. clean the wall surfaces from dust, fat and debris.

Application can be made by spraying, brushing or rolling.

1. To waterproof basement walls:

1. If the basement floor was sealed with bitumen membranes, apply a strip of 30 cm of membrane in the corner between the basement walls and the membranes which were applied under basement floor, 15 cm on the walls and 15 cm on the floor.
2. Apply low heat over the membranes to deposit the dirt and bring out melted bitumen.
3. Apply a thin layer of A12, 0.5 kg/m², on top of the membranes over the basement floor, using stiff fiber brush, few minutes prior to the application of A12 on basement walls.
4. Apply A12, using a total quantity of 3.3-4.4 kg/m² (3 - 4 mm dry membrane), depends on depth of the basement and water table level.

e. Allow to dry for 2-4 days after application, depend on layer thickness and weather conditions.

f. Spread a Geotextile Matt, 200 gr/sm², over the waterproofing layer and then, spread smooth protection sheet made of HDPE as Protect 5 prior to covering.

2. To waterproof bathroom and showers floor prior to tiling:

1. Clean thoroughly the concrete floor.
2. Apply a coat of A12 on the horizontal surfaces and the rolled seams, with a stiff hair brush. Use 3 kg/m² of A12 (2.7 mm dry). Allow to dry for 24 hours prior to covering with sand. in case of flooding test, allow to dry for 7 days.
3. Fill in sand and lay the tiles, or lay ceramic tiles by direct adhesion onto the sealing layer.

3. To waterproof small patio floor prior to tiling:

General: The infrastructure shall be a stable concrete infrastructure and not foamed concrete (light concrete).

1. Clean thoroughly the concrete floor.
2. Apply a coat of A12 on the horizontal surfaces and the rolled seams with a stiff hair brush. Use 4.4 kg/m² of A12 (4 mm dry). Allow to dry for 5 days.

In case of flooding test, allow to dry for 7 days.

1. Fill in sand and lay the tiles, or lay ceramic tiles by direct adhesion onto the sealing layer.

Consumption

3.3 - 4.4 kg/m² (3 - 4 mm dry membrane) in general, according to the application.

Drying Time

To touch 3-5 hours (in winter time: 5-7 hours)

Resistance of A12 layer to rain (on walls, in 23°c, 50% RH) - 10 hours

Drying period prior to backfilling (  in 23°c, 50% RH) : 2 - 4 days, depend on layer thickness.
