IN COMPLIANCE WITH EUROPEAN STANDARD PI-MC-IR SURFACE PROTECTION SYSTEMS FOR CONCRETE intntac pa ic nt co l cry ne ater A a ermth w r p wi WATERPROOF EASY TO CLEAN WHERE TO USE Painting indoor and outdoor structures where the substrate needs to be covered with a flexible protective coating suitable for direct contact with water. Protecting horizontal concrete surfaces not used for foot traffic against contact with rainwater, such as flat roofs waterproofed with Mapelastic or Mapelastic Smart. Elastocolor Waterproof improves resistance to chemicals and acid rain and, if suitably coloured, reduces the absorption of sun rays and, therefore, over-heating of the surface. Painting architectural elements waterproofed with Mapelastic or Mapelastic Smart to provide sufficient protection against the sun, acid rain and atmospheric agents in general. Finishing off the internal surfaces of water tanks and swimming pools waterproofed with Triblock Finish and Mapecoat I 600 W where the skimming layer needs to be covered with a compatible, flexible finishing coating in permanent contact with water. Some application examples • ainting general cementitious substrates to form a P protective coat resistant to contact with water. • Painting vertical surfaces or special architectural elements (such as domed roofs, elements particularly exposed, covering for parapets on balconies, terraces, etc.) after applying Mapelastic or Mapelastic Smart to waterproof and protect them from rainwater. • ainting horizontal concrete surfaces not used for foot P traffic, such as flat roofs or guttering, after applying Mapelastic or Mapelastic Smart. • ainting swimming pools after applying Triblock P Finish and Mapecoat I 600 W when the internal surfaces are not to be tiled.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Elastocolor Waterproof is a flexible, protective paint for outdoor applications made from acrylic resin in water dispersion and is perfectly compatible as a coloured finishing coat with Mapelastic, Mapelastic Smart and Triblock Finish. Elastocolor Waterproof may be used as the final finishing coat wherever a highly water-resistant paint is required after waterproofing surfaces with cementitious waterproofing products. Elastocolor Waterproof offers excellent resistance to all types of climatic conditions, aggression from smog and sunlight and forms a hard-wearing,...

storage tanks, it may be necessary to apply another coat of Elastocolor Waterproof over the entire surface or only in certain points. Proceed as follows: • roughen the surface with sandpaper to eliminate any uneven areas and to help the new coat bond to the lower one; • thoroughly clean the surfaces to remove all traces of dust and material removed during the sanding operation. The use of hydro-cleaning systems or other high pressure cleaning systems must be very carefully considered, they may cause detachment of Elastocolor Waterproof in areas where it is still well bonded; • apply a coat...
