USES

As a protective decorative and waterproofing coating for concrete, mortar, brick and stone facades As an interior walls decorative coating in public buildings such as hospitals, schools and museums etc. As a base coat for the subsequent application of the textured top coat - CLI - RAINGUARD

ADVANTAGES

• High diffusion resistance against CO2 reducing the rate of carbonation
• Water vapour permeable, allowing the substrate to breathe
• Excellent resistance against weathering and ageing
• Waterproof against driven rain
• Environmentally friendly, solvent free product
• Easy application
• High alkali resistance
• Non tacky with reduced tendency to dirt-pick up
• Good opacity and covering ability

APPLICATION DETAILS

Consumption

EXTERNAL WALL MEMBRANE APPLICATION

0.6 kg/Sq.Mtr in 2 coats at a total dry fill thickness of 0.3

ROOF MEMBRANE APPLICATION

2 kg/Sq.Mtr in 2 coats at a total dry fill thickness of 1.0

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Exposed concrete without old coatings: The surface must be clean, sound, dry and free from loose or friable particles. Suitable preparation methods are steam, high pressure water jetting or blastcleaning.

Exposed concrete with old coating: Old coatings must be tested for their adequate adhesion to the substrate - adhesion
test average > 0.8 N/mm²
with no single value below 0.5 N/mm² .

If there is inadequate adhesion then:
Old coatings must be completely removed by suitable methods and the substrate must be sufficiently sound and prepared before coating.
If there is adequate adhesion then:
Thorough cleaning of all surfaces is required, by steam cleaning or high pressure water jetting.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING

For normal usage, CLI - RAINGUARD is supplied ready for use. Stir thoroughly prior to application. For use on very absorbent substrates, add up to a maximum of 10% water - stir well prior to use.

APPLICATION METHOD / TOOLS

CLI - RAINGUARD can be applied by brush, short pile roller or airless spray. The second coat should be applied in a cross wise direction to achieve optimum opacity.
