Acrylic Waterproof Coating Method of Application

Surface Preparation – Roof

Prepare the surface thoroughly by cleaning, washing and removing dust, dirt, oil, grease and loose particles.
In existing old terraces such as brick-bat-coba or screeds, the substrate must be checked for its soundness.
Damaged or hollow portions, sharp edges, etc. must be cut and repaired with a polymer-modified mortar using Dr. Fixit Super Latex.
All surface cracks up to 5 mm width should be filled up with Dr. Fixit Crack-X paste
Bitumen based waterproofing treatments must be completely removed by mechanical scarification or by any other effective mechanical means.

Application Procedure for Roof

Apply one coat of Dr. Fixit Raincoat 2 in 1 (diluted with water in the ratio 2 : 1) at the rate of 7.5 to 9 sqmtr / ltr.
Allow it to dry for 2-3 hours.
Apply the first coat of Dr. Fixit Raincoat 2 in 1 at the rate of 2 to 2.2 Sqmtr / ltr / coat and allow it to dry before
taking up the second coat, the rate of application being the same. This would ensure correct consumption of
material that will deliver a total DFT of 500 – 600 micron.
Minimum drying time between coats will be 4 to 6 hours.
Allow the system to air cure for 7 days minimum.
