One-component, flexible cement-based waterproofing and concrete protection mortar. Ideal for protection of reinforced concrete in highly corrosive environment such as bridges and structures near the sea. It is also applied as a waterproofing material of absorbent substrates such as: cement screeds, cementitious coatings, masonry mortars, cement boards and non-absorbent substrates such as existing paving, polished terrazzo before coverings such as marble and stone, microcement coatings PLANOCOLOR MICROCEMENT, PLANOCOLOR TERRAZZO micro-pebble coatings, PLANOCOLOR GRANIT “stone carpet” in outdoor floors, showers and swimming pools. Minimum total application thickness: 2mm. In cement boards, corners and for better thickness control, it is recommended to apply with NOVAMIX FIBERGLASS NET incorporation.
• SC ELASTIC is suitable for waterproofing and protecting in:
o reinforced concrete in a highly corrosive environment such as bridges and structures near the sea while increasing resistance to carbonization
o concrete and cement based surfaces such as roof tops, terraces and surfaces exposed to weather conditions
o masonry that comes into contact with the ground, such as foundations, basements, flower pots, etc.
o swimming pools, balconies, bathrooms, wet areas and external floorings prior to application of tiles, natural stones as well as the PLANOCOLOR GRANIT, PLANOCOLOR MICROCEMENT and PLANOCOLOR TERRAZZO (micro pebble coverings)
• Form: powder
• Application thickness: Total thickness at least 2 mm, 1 mm per layer
• POT life: ≈ 45 – 60 minutes /20°C
• Walkability: after 2 - 5 hours
• Application temperature: from +8°C up to +35°C
• Substrate preparation:
• The application surface must be clean and solid, without cracks, free of dust, laitance, form release agents, oil, paint and rust. Carbonized and degraded concrete should be removed till we obtain a solid and healthy substrate. If required repair by using RUST CONVERTER, NOVAFER and RC 340. Existing cracks on the substrate should be bonded by using the two component epoxy adhesive EPO FLUID. In applications where we have constant water infiltration from exterior (negative pressure) seal all the leakages with the cement based fast setting waterproofing product SC FAST. Always saturate the substrate with water and remove any excess in order that the substrate will be saturated, but the surface will be free of standing water.
• Preparation of the mix:
• Mix the content of the 20kg bag with 4 – 6 liters of clean and fresh water with electric stirrer at low speed (500 rpm) for 3 - 5 minutes until a perfectly smooth and homogeneous mix free of lumps is obtained. Under normal conditions the mix should be applied within 45 - 60 minutes. Low temperatures extend the life of the mortar while, on the contrary, high temperatures drastically reduces pot life and workability.
• Application:
• Application should be made in two or more layers with a total thickness of at least 2 mm. Apply a first layer with a flat brush or roller on the properly prepared surface. Apply the second coat when the first one has hardened enough. For better thickness control, it is recommended to incorporate a suitable alkaline fiberglass mesh such as NOVAMIX FIBERGLASS NET on the first layer of the mortar while it is still fresh and smooth the surface with a metallic spatula. In any case the application should overlap the entire surface with a uniform thickness coat. In all critical areas, such as a floor joint with walls and vertical construction elements, the sealing zone must be reinforced by the use of a suitable fiberglass mesh. After application, SC ELASTIC should be left to cure in a relatively humid environment. Protect the fresh mortar from rain, frost and fast drying by suitable means.
