Surface Preparation
All surfaces must be free from grease, oil, dust, loose particles and other contaminants. Old coatings, which are stable and difficult to remove, can remain. Very smooth surface should be roughened for better adhesion.
For new concrete, the substrate must be sound and cured for 28 days.
Bonding / Priming
No priming is necessary.
Mixing
For the mixing of dura.proof dekflex, charge the liquid into a clean mixing container. Add the powder gradually while mixing until a lump free consistency is achieved. No additional water is required. It is recommended that mechanical mixing (400 – 500 rpm) should be used for 2-3 minutes to ensure proper dispersion of the components.
Application
Coverage
dura.proof dekflex system covers approx. 2.28kg/m2 @ a dry film thickness of approx. 1.15 mm.
dura.proof dekflex 25kg kit:
Coverage will be approx. 3-4m2 as a 3 coat build-up system at a dry film thickness of approx. 1.15mm per coat.
Actual site coverage may vary from site depending on the substrate condition.
Cleaning of Equipment
Tools and equipment may be cleaned using water before the product set.
Protection / Maintenance on Completion
dura.proof dekflex system is designed for extended life, if not covered with tiles.
Note: Do not cover with stones or stone chippings.
