Elastocem
Description
Elastocem is an elastomeric flexible, two-component polymers modified cementitious system that requires only onsite mixing forming an ideal waterproof coating on concrete, masonry, and most other construction materials. Elastocem can simply be applied by stiff brush, roller or trowel to obtain the desired thickness. Elastocem will bridge an existing crack of up to 0.5 mm in width, or up to 1.2mm when reinforced with 100% virgin polypropylene woven fabric.
UsesElastocem is a high-performance elastomeric cementitious coating used for waterproofing and to protect atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete structures from attack by acid gases, chloride ions, oxygen & water. Elastocem is suitable for all types of structures like, Water-retaining structures subjected to movements. Basement-waterproofing. To protect concrete from water, carbonation and de-icing salts. Waterproofing of roofs, sunken floors in bathrooms, swimming Pools, drainage culverts, kitchens, shower rooms, WC, etc. Waterproofing coating for drinking water tanks, sumps, etc. Foundations in contact with groundwater under saline conditions.
Advantages
- Withstands high positive and negative hydrostatic pressures.
- Waterproof-suitable for water-retaining structures. Allows water vapor to escape from the structure.
- Excellent barrier to carbon dioxide, chloride, and sulfate ions.
- High resistance to the effect of long-term weathering, durable in all climate conditions including UV attack.
- Nontoxic - ideal for potable water tanks. Flexible, with thermal expansion similar to concrete.
- Excellent bond to concrete and masonry. Bonds to green or damp concrete.
- Good crack accommodation capacity. Minimum surface preparation needed and low labor costs.
