Elastocem Flex
Description
ELASTOCEM FLEX is an elastomeric flexible, two component polymers modified cementitious system that requires only onsite mixing forming ideal waterproof coating on concrete, masonry, and most other construction materials. ELASTOCEM FLEX can simply be applied by stiff brush, roller or trowel to obtain the desired thickness. ELASTOCEM FLEX will bridge an existing crack of up to 0.5 mm in width, or up to 2mm when reinforced with 100% virgin polypropylene woven fabric.
UsesELASTOCEM FLEX is a high performance elastomeric cementitious coating used for waterproofing and to protect atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete structures from attack by acid gases, chloride ions, oxygen & water. ELASTOCEM FLEX is suitable for all types of structures like, Water-retaining structures subjected to movements. Basement-waterproofing. To protect concrete from water, carbonation and de-icing salts. Waterproofing of roofs, sunken floors in bathrooms, Swimming Pools, Drainage culverts, Kitchens, Shower rooms, WC, etc. Waterproofing coating for drinking water tanks, sumps, etc. Foundations in contact with ground water under saline conditions.
Advantages
- Withstands high positive and negative hydrostatic pressures.
- Waterproof-suitable for water retaining structures. Allows water vapour to escape from the structure.
- Excellent barrier to carbon dioxide, chloride and sulphate ions.
- High resistance to the effect of long-term weathering, durable in all climate conditions including UV attack.
- Nontoxic - ideal for potable water tanks.
- Flexible, with thermal expansion similar to concrete.
- Excellent bond to concrete and masonry.
- Bonds to green or damp concrete.
- Good crack accommodation capacity.
- Minimum surface preparation needed and low labour costs.
