Betec Flex S150 Two component, flexible, cemetitious coating for waterproofing/damp-proofing of new and existing structures
Description
Betec Flex S150 is a flexible 2-part polymermodified cementitious waterproofing system. The 2-components of Betec Flex S150 are mixed together with a slow speed drill and paddle to form a smooth slurry. The slurry is applied by trowel or brush, in two coats, to form a hard but flexible waterproof cementitious coating.
Installation
Surface Preparation Chase out all holes and voids and fill with appropriate Grace Mortar to provide a smooth and level surface; mortar joints should be flush pointed. Remove all bitumen, oil, grease, dirt and other surface contaminants by wire brushing and pressure washing. Cut back any protrusions. Mixing Shake the liquid well and pour around 75% into a clean mixing container. Slowly add the Betec Flex S150 Powder while mixing. Mix until a homogenous slurry, free from all lumps, is formed. Scrape any unmixed material from the side of the mixing container with a trowel and mix in. Finally, add the appropriate amount of the remaining liquid to achieve the required consistency for application. DO NOT USE PART MIXES. DO NOT ADD WATER, CEMENT, SAND OR OTHER MATERIALS. It is recommended that mechanical mixing (400 500 rpm) should be used for 2-3 mins to ensure proper dispersion of the components. Pre-wet the surface with clean water. Do not allow pooling or ponding. Apply the first coat of Betec Flex S150 mixed materials onto the prepared surface using a brush, trowel, squeegee or roller in a Apply the second coat finish depending on site conditions and film thickness required. Before applying the second coat in alternate direction, leave the first coat to dry for approximately 2 4 hours depending on the thickness.
