Waterproofing  

Ready-to-use. High elasticity.
One-component waterproofing coating for indoor use. Used for waterproofing of bathrooms, shower cabins, kitchens and similar before the laying of ceramics. At critical points (corners, wall joints, floor joints and similar) auxiliary elements should be used: Hidrofob Elastic Tape, Hidrofob Angles, Hidrofob Collars and Hidrofob Elastic Tape

Substrate has to be hard, dry, free of dust, grease and other impurities. Suitable substrates include substrates made of cement mortar, cement-lime mortar, treated with levelling compounds, concrete. Cement and cement-lime mortar substrates should dry for at least 1 day for each mm of thickness (T=20°C, rel. humidity 65%), whereas concrete surfaces should dry for at least one month. Application of PODLOGA KONCENTRAT primer is needed (dilution ratio: PODLOGA KONCENTRAT: water=1:3) before the application of material. PODLOGA KVARC is recommended as pre-coating for smooth low-absorption concretes. The primers represent, at the same time, a bridge binding the substrate and the applied material, creating a stronger bond and reducing consumption of material.

HIDROFOB DA 194 is ready-to-use. It only needs to be mixed. Application is performed using a brush, evenly, in at least two layers. Total thickness of layers should be 1-1.5mm. Each next coating is applied on the previous layer that has hardened, transversally. The drying time between two layers should be from 3 to 4 hours. Make sure that full surface coverage is obtained with each layer. At critical points (corners, wall joints, floor joints and similar) appropriate tapes (HIDROFOB ELASTIC TAPE and HIDROFOB ELASTIC TAPE PLUS) just like auxiliary elements HIDROFOB INTERNAL and EXTERNAL ANGLE and collars) should be used. Breaks in concrete, cracks and other damages should be repaired using appropriate sealing material (permanently elastic putty). It may be used with floor heating systems. Moisture penetration from substrate, for example exterior wall must be prevented. Subsequent deformations of the surface on which HIDROFOB DA 194 is applied should be minimized.
