LIQUID-APPLIED WATERPROOFING ELASTIC SYSTEMS PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AQUASCUD 500 is a silane modified polymer-based waterproof coating paste, solvent-free, ready for use and cold-applicable. It hardens by reacting with the ambient humidity creating an elastic elastomer membrane with excellent mechanical performance. The coating is semi-glossy light grey with the possibility of obtaining a smooth or non-slip finish if combined with the specific GRIPPER filler. PRODUCT APPLICATION • Walk-on finish of Volteco waterproofing, in combination with AQUASCUD BASIC membrane on screed and flooring in general such as balconies, terraces, pedestrian walkways, sidewalks, stairways etc... ADVANTAGES • Excellent walkability with possibility of non-slip finish • High elasticity and capacity to bridge cracks in the surface • Total adhesion to base • Easy and fast application, self-levelling • Also applicable to damp substrates • Quick curing, regardless of rain, in 4 hours, also in conditions of high ambient humidity • Excellent resistance to UV radiation • Possibility of using it as a finish in place of tiles PREPARATION AND APPLICATION Preparing the surfaces The surface must have a minimum compressive strength of 15 N/mm2 and at least 28 days of curing must have elapsed. Thoroughly clean the surfaces by brushing or low-pressure washing to remove all traces of dust, dirt, salt deposits, efflorescence and loose parts. Restore missing parts or seal any cracks by applying a suitable cement-based levelling compound. Recommendations prior to installation If you wish to obtain a walk-on coating with total waterproof performance it is necessary to prepare the following details and set-ups: • EXPANSION JOINTS AND SIGNIFICANT CRACKS Any expansion joints and significant cracks on the surface must be covered with GARVO joint cover strip (see related technical data sheet) • CORNERS AND CONNECTIONS Set the connections up with drains using the relative DRAIN MANIFOLD
