Product catalog summary
Product Overview
Bioscud is a water-based, solvent-free waterproofing solution ideal for decorative and protective applications on flat roofs and other surfaces. It is certified for Cool Roof applications and suitable for encapsulating fibre-cement and asbestos-cement sheets. The product is highly elastic, UV-resistant, and suitable for deformable substrates.
Product Strengths
  • Environmentally friendly due to its water-based formulation.
  • Improved on-site safety and reduced ecological impact.
  • Resistant to standing water and atmospheric agents.
Areas of Use
  • Waterproofing of concrete structures, roofs, and walls.
  • Decorative waterproofing of chimneys, canopies, and façades.
  • Protection against UV rays and carbonation for concrete surfaces.
  • Repair and decoration of old bituminous layers.
Substrate Requirements
  • Substrates must be cured, undamaged, compact, and clean.
  • Check for moisture and ensure surfaces are dry before application.
Application Instructions
  • Apply using a roller, brush, or airless spray.
  • Ensure complete coverage with at least two coats.
  • Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Limitations
  • Do not apply in unfavorable drying conditions or on damp substrates.
  • Not suitable for surfaces subject to heavy traffic or high chemical resistance requirements.
Encapsulation Coatings
  • Type A: For externally exposed structures, minimum dry thickness of 0.3 mm.
  • Type B: For internally exposed structures, minimum dry thickness of 0.25 mm.
Specifications
The document specifies a dry encapsulating coating thickness of at least 0.2 mm. For Type D applications, the coating must contrast with the substrate color and be diluted with 35% water. Types A, B, and C require a Bioscud Primer first.
Procedures
Cleaning involves using water for fresh product removal and nitro solvents for hardened residues. A highly reflective covering can reduce roof surface temperatures, leading to energy savings in air conditioning. Periodic cleaning and reapplication are recommended to maintain reflective properties.
Waterproofing
Bioscud is used for waterproofing wall-floor joints and substrates, emphasizing resistance to UV light, atmospheric agents, and standing water. Reinforcement with Bioscud TNT is recommended for increased shear strength and crack bridging.
Performance
Key performance metrics include water-resistance, elongation, adhesion, resistance to static load, and cold flexibility. The product is certified under various ISO standards and suitable for encapsulating asbestos-cement slabs.
Drying Times
Drying times vary with temperature and humidity, with specific times provided for different conditions.
Technical Data
The product is a colored paste with a specific weight of approximately 1.44 kg/dm3 and a solid content of ≥ 70%. It should be stored away from frost and direct sunlight.
Warnings
Users are advised to protect the product from rain and condensation for 24 hours post-application and to avoid applying it on dirty or warm surfaces.
Resistance to Hailstorms
The document details the product's resistance to hailstorms on both soft and rigid supports.
Cool Roof Properties
Bioscud White has a solar reflectance of 0.734 and an emissivity of 0.874, contributing to its effectiveness as a Cool Roof solution.

Cement-based screeds: apply one coat of Bioscud diluted using water to 50% (coverage equal to ≈ 300 g/m2 not to be considered in the verification of the total weight to be applied). In the presence of fractionizing joints and/or cracks, carry out the mechanical excavation, remove dust and seal with Neutro Color; bond 20 cm-wide strips of Bioscud TNT with Bioscud near any joint and sealed crack. To avoid the swelling of the fabric in the presence of movements, bond the entire surface of the sheet on the back in contact with the surface of the screed; take care of the soft bonding of the sheet...

COLOUR CHART white (RAL 9010) grey (RAL 7038) sand (RAL 1013) red (RAL 3013) green (RAL 6017) The shades shown are intended as an indication only. SPECIAL NOTES In climatic conditions of high humidity and/or low temperature drying times are lengthened, delaying foot traffic and significantly increasing the risk of being washed away in case of possible rainfall or in the presence of condensation. To decrease drying times, apply in several coats of max 0.5 kg/m2. In case of constant foot traffic, coat with Bioscud Traffic. For the treatment of absorbent surfaces, such as screeds and plasters, Primer...
