• Water based - safe to use, low odour & easy cleaning
• Suitable for all cementitious substrates

SURFACE PREPARATION

The substrate must be hard, sound and free of dust and other barrier materials such as paint, lime coatings, plaster, curing agents, laitance, adhesive residues etc., which will inhibit adhesion to the substrate.

Use a suitable Degreaser to remove polish, wax, grease, oil and similar contaminating substances prior to mechanical preparation. Contaminated substrates should be mechanically prepared, either by grinding or contained shot blasting equipment or similar, and be vacuumed clean prior to applying CEM 2K.

NOTE : Any joints or cracks in the substrate where differential movement is anticipated e.g. movement joints, should be brought through to the finished surface.

MIXING & APPLICATION

Individual contents of the CEM 2K Eco should be thoroughly stirred before being mixed together. The entire content of the Part A (5 Litres) should be poured into a larger mixing vessel to incorporate water and powder. Add approximately 2.5 Litres of water to the same vessel and mix for one minute. Finally add the Part B to the same vessel. Mix all the three materials with spiral mixing paddle in a slow speed drill, continue until a consistent homogenous mix is achieved. One or more packs can be mixed simultaneously to ensure a quick rate of installation.

Apply CEM 2K Eco by brush or roller. A medium nap paint roller is recommended. New rollers should be dampened with water before being used for the first time. For best results with a paint brush use a good quality, 50mm long bristle variety.

To achieve the required dry film thickness per coat application must consist of laying the product onto the surface and light finish the surface. Do not try to apply in the same manner as a building paint. A conventional building paint is normally applied at 25 - 40 microns for wet film thickness while Acrylic polymer waterproofing needs to be applied at between 0.8mm and 1.0mm per coat depending on product and application.

CLEANING

Wash hands, brushes, rollers, etc, with water while the membrane is still fresh. Remove cured material with mineral turpentine.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE

CEM 2K has a shelf life of 12 months if kept in a dry, store between 5ºC and 30ºC in the original unopened containers. The product should be protected from frost, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.

PRECAUTIONS

In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice and after contact with the skin wash immediately with plenty of soap and water (do not use solvents). Prolonged contact with the skin should be avoided, especially where the user has an allergic reaction to epoxide materials. Always wear gloves and eye/face protection is necessary. Observe personal hygiene, particularly washing the hands after work has been completed or at any interruption whilst work is in progress. Care should be taken when removing gloves to avoid contaminating the insides. In case of accidents seek medical advice.

DISPOSAL / SPILLAGE

Spillage of any of the component products should be absorbed onto sand or other inert materials and transferred to a suitable disposable vessel. Disposal of such spillage or empty packaging should be in accordance with local waste disposal authority regulations.
