Product
Aquaproof Raingard is composed of high quality acrylic emulsion polymer, properly selected & graded fine fillers, many additives & water as a medium. It is used as a waterproofing & protective coating for exterior walls of the building because it forms higher film thickness, has excellent flexibility, breathing properties, water resistance, crack-bridging ability, weathering durability and an excellent resistance to the growth of micro-organisms.
WHERE TO USE: All types of exterior masonry surfaces, concrete, cement-sand renderings etc. Applicable on asbestos sheets also.
HOW TO USE:
(A) SURFACE PREPARATION: All new cement-sand renderings/concrete surfaces
should be allowed to age for 6 to 8 weeks before surface coating. Surface must be
cleaned of all laitance, loose material, oil, grease, etc. by methods such as wire brushing
& shot blasting. All surface cracks up to 5mm width should be filled up with Aquaproof
Krack-X or Aquaproof Krackfill.
(B) PRIMING: Prime the surface with Aquaproof’s Aqua Sol and allow it to dry for 4 to 6
hours.
APPLICATION: Use Raingard directly from the container. Stir contents well before use.
Dilute jsngard with 30% of water & then apply two coats of it at the interval of 4 to 6 hours at
30OC. For enhanced protection, apply additional coat of on rain lashing walls, jsngard
chajjas and parapet walls. Allow the coated surface to air cure (natural cure) fully for 7
days.
- Flexibility: Highly flexible and covers hairline cracks up to 0.5 mm effectively so that there is no ingress of water.
- Elasticity: High elasticity easily withstands stress caused by thermal expansion & contraction (>100% elongation at 110-120 micron DFT)
- UV resistance: Resistance to UV(Sun light); hence coating has longer life.
- Film thickness: Higher film thickness provides resistance to the movements of structures, gives crack bridging ability & waterproofing properties.
- Toughness: Tough films withstand wind driven rain.
- Microbial resistance: Resistance to fungus and algae; hence maintains the aesthetic value.
- Ease of application: User friendly, easily applicable by brush, roller or spray.
- Toxicity: It is non-toxic.
- Water resistance: It is powerful & and gives toughness against weathering effect.
- Breathability: It has property of breath ability.
HEALTH & SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: Skin Contact: Wash skin with soap & water. Remove contaminated clothes. On Eye Contact: Immediately splash eyes with plenty of water. Consult Physician if irritation persists
