Flexi-Seal
2 part Liquid membrane is an acrylic cementitious compound designed
for the waterproofing of showers, bathrooms, decks, balconies
and walls.
It is used in conjuction with, and is compatible with other products
making up the Flexi-Seal Licensed Waterproofing System.
Flexi-Seal can only be applied by an authorised and licensed
applicator.
The system is BRANZ appraised for interior and exterior applications.

Performance Data
- Will adhere to various substrates including, concrete, masonry
block, cement sheeting, steel*, galvanized iron, aluminium,
bitumen, wood, plywood, and polystyrene.
- Will offer resistance to ponded water and fungal growth when
fully cured.
- Suitable for potable water, and free of any dangerous toxic
materials.
- Suitable for use in conjunction with under floor heating systems.
- Restricts permeation of gases.
- Coating up to 1mm (1000 micron) will level out and dry without
crazing or wrinkling
- Do not apply in low temperatures or in temperatures of extreme
humidity or when rain is imminent.
* Prime steel with zinc chromate etch primer
Surface Preparation
Apply only to clean surfaces, which are free from grease, oil,
dust and other contaminants. First prime with "Flexi-Seal
Primer/Sealer" or "Flexi-Seal Megaprime". For substrates
contaminated with moss, mould or lichen, first treat with Orgo'Clean,
organic moss and lichen control.
Application
Can be applied conventionally by brush or roller. It is recommended
to apply first coat by brush to obtain optimum adhesion.
Do not apply in temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius or if high
humidity prevails.
Under high temperatures or in windy conditions fast drying may
be experienced, and therefore application made more difficult.
For porous or dusty / oxidised substrates it is even more important
to firstly saturate the surface with "Flexi-Seal Sealer /
Primer", to stabilize the surface.
"Flexi-Seal 2 Part Waterproofing Membrane" has excellent
high build properties, and can be built up to 2000 micron wet
in one application. However from a curing point of view and dependant
on weather conditions at the time of application, it is more pertinent
to apply and build up the membrane in two or more coats, to allow
quicker cure in each stage. The thicker the application the longer
the cure.
1 litre of mixed membrane applied wet at 1 mm thick will cover
1 square metre over 100% coverage.
When bridging cracks bed reinforcing tape into the first layer,
allowing for overcoating once cured. It is ideal for reinforcing
cracks in concrete floors prior to tiling.
For all round protection and durability, the final coat in the
system should be applied at a rate of 1 litre per square metre
giving an optimum dry film thickness. The service life of the
membrane is a direct correlation to final dry film thickness.
A built in latent curing mechanism activated by water loss happens
in 3 stages. Firstly there is the initial evaporation of the majority
of water in the system, followed by the second stage where the
surface skins over and cures. The third stage (which takes a minimum
of 2-6 days) is to complete cure and gain of cohesive strength.
The application of the second coat can proceed after stage two,
whereas weathering and water ponding capability is not achieved
until stage three.
This is a three stage system, inclusive of the necessary bond
breaker requirements being addressed.
