High Performance Eco friendly PU liquid applied waterproofing membrane
abeproof PU ECO is a flexible liquid applied single-pack water based polyurethane waterproofing membrane which is fast drying and has excellent chemical resistance properties.
Uses
abeproof PU ECO may be used in the following applications:
• All types of roofs, balconies and decks
• Retaining walls and basements
• Waterproofing, repair and rust protection for gutters, troughs and tanks
• Waterproofing and protection of parapet walls and flashings
• Waterproofing of external areas such as suspended structures
• Basements, tanking & facades
• Lining faulty gutters and down-pipes
• Eliminates soldering of cracked nonferrous roof valleys and flashings
• Over-coating of old sound membrane or liquid waterproofing systems

Surface Preparation
All surfaces to be clean, dry, sound and free of all laitance, grease, oil or loose and flaking particles.
Concrete:
All new concrete slabs must be allowed to cure for at least 6 weeks. Old concrete must be cleaned with a strong commercial grade detergent or degreaser, then thoroughly wash off all residue with clean water. Allow the surface to dry for at least 24 hours.
Render:
Newly rendered surfaces must be allowed to cure for at least 7 days.
Lightweight Blocks:
Prime the surfaces with abeproof acrylic primer prior to applying abeproof PU ECO.
Metal Surfaces:
All metal surfaces must be totally free of rust. Prime metal surfaces with an etch primer.
Old waterproofing (liquid or membrane):
Any surface to be coated should be Clean and Mechanically Sound.
Previously painted systems must be scrubbed using copious quantities of clean water.
Conditioned bitumen surfaces:
Ageing of the bitumen yields considerable quantity of water soluble dust derived from the oxidisation process of the bitumen surface.
This water soluble dust must be washed off the immediate surface by scrubbing and using copious quantities of clean water.
Cracks:
Hairline cracks up to 1mm wide which experience no movement, may be duly filled up with abeproof PU ECO before applying another layer over the area to be waterproofed.
Static cracks that have no movement must be opened up and sealed with flexothane® 27 and a polypropylene tape securely placed over the sealed crack. abeproof PU ECO should then be applied over the area and on the tape and allowed to cure.
Drain Application:
Treat the inside and around the drain with a separate layer of abeproof PU ECO before proceeding with the actual application of the whole surface area.
Precautionary Notes
Do not allow the product to freeze.
Do not apply if the temperature is in excess of 45 °C or less than 5 °C.
Delay external applications when inclement weather is imminent.
Do not thin abeproof PU ECO, as it is supplied ready for use.
Ponding should be avoided at least 48 hours after the final application of abeproof PU ECO.
For the intended use of abeproof PU ECO involving unfamiliar applications/substrates, contact a.b.e.® for advice.
Bonding / Priming
Use abeproof acrylic primer for priming porous, substandard or bitumen impregnated substrates or membranes. Please consult relevant technical data sheet for details.
Mixing
Stir well before use.
Application
All surfaces to be treated must be as clean and dry as possible.
It may be necessary to abrade areas where dirt or scale cannot be removed with a stiff broom.
Check surface for cracks, splits, flashing, coverings, etc.
abeproof PU ECO should be applied in two coats directly from the pail.
Apply 1st coat of abeproof PU ECO to the whole area and allow to cure, approx. 2-4 hours. (temperature dependent) Apply the 2nd coat in a perpendicular direction to the 1st coat.
abeproof PU ECO can be applied by brush or roller. Normally a minimum of 2 coats is required.
Note:
Reinforcement of corners with reinforcement netting where a 90° angle or greater is encountered is advised.
Coverage
Recommended for per 20 L pail:
30 – 46 m2 per coat (about 0.35 mm DFT ) or 15 – 23 m2 per 2 coats.
Cleaning of Equipment
Tools, brushes and mixing equipment should be cleaned immediately after use and before material has set with water.
Protection / Maintenance on Completion
Whilst abeproof PU ECO is designed for an extended life, it is important to apply a maintenance coat every 5 years.
Note: Do not cover final cured system with stones or stone chippings.
