How to Use
The substrate must be solid, dry, free of dust, loose parts, paint, wax, oils, rust and traces of gypsum. Cementitious substrates must be cured, Use Conset 45 T & C in case of any loose and uneven substrates to get a sound and flat surface.
The substrate should be protected from sunlight, precipitation and dust for 1 day and application should not under direct sunlight. Dampen absorbent surfaces to be treated before hand with water or better apply CONSET PRIMER.
Pour 5 liters liquid component in to a suitable clean container. Then slowly add 20 kg powder component and mix with a low speed mixer. to obtain a homogenous lump free mix. Mixing with max 500 rpm mixer is recommended.
Allow to stand for 5 minutes to mature. After remixing for 1-2 minutes, the paste is ready for application.
Apply a thin layer of Conset FC with brush, roller or trowel, then after 5-6 hours apply a second coat, to have a final thickness of approximately 2-3 mm
Insert a 4.5 x 4 mm mesh in the first layer of Conset FC when operating around expansion joints, joints between horizontal and vertical surfaces, areas with small cracks or places subject to stress. After the mesh has been laid Apply a second layer of Conset FC when the first one has set (after 5-6 hours) or use CONSET WATERPROOFING TAPE for these joints.
Use Conset FC within 2 hour of preparation. Unfavourable climatic conditions (high temperature, low humidity, wind etc.) can reduce this time to just a few minutes.
Dispose mortars of which pot life is expired. Clean tools and hands with water, surfaces with a damp cloth.
Protect the surface from direct sunlight, rain, freezing and wind for the first 24 hours after application.
If Conset FC applied surface is subject to foot traffic, cover the surface with flooring compound or tiles.
After applying Conset FC, wait at least 3 days for curing in favourable climatic conditions before laying ceramic tiles.
Avoid mechanical damage on the waterproofing material during covering application.
When Conset FC is used waterproofing drinking water tanks, do not fill the tank before waiting 28 days for curing.
