    Field of application

    • For use on floors indoors and walls outdoors
    • Waterproofing of new and old buildings with ground contact
    • Water impact classes W1.1-E, W1.2-E, W2.1-E, W3-E and W4-E (splashing water only) as per DIN 18533

    Properties

    • Water-based
    • Solvent-free
    • Water pressure tight
    • Highly flexible, elastic and crack-bridging
    • Radon-tight (verified through testing)
    • Preparation
      • Substrate requirements

        Even-surfaced, mineral substrate.

        Clean, dust-free and capable of supporting a load.

        Prepare concrete substrates at wall/base transition areas by means of mechanical material removal.

        Matt damp surfaces are permitted.

        If necessary, provide damp proofing.

      • Preparations

        Remove projecting seams and mortar remains.

        Break off or chamfer corners and edges.

        Smooth out inner corners using a suitable mineral mortar.

        Close indentations > 5 mm using a suitable mineral material.

        Prime absorbent mineral substrates with Kiesol MB. Prime non-absorbent mineral substrates with BIT Primer [basic] (1:10 in water).

        If the substrate requires reinforcement (restoration), prime using Kiesol (1:1 with water).

        Create a scratch coat using the product as a contact layer and in order to prevent blisters.

    • Preparation
      • Combination container

        Break up the powder component before adding to the bitumen emulsion.

        Remove any dried material adhering to the edge of the bucket.

        Briefly stir the bitumen base material.

        Add the entire quantity of broken-up powder component to the bitumen emulsion.

        Mix for approx. 30 seconds, stop mixing and allow the air introduced during mixing to escape.

        Remove the powder adhering to the side.

        Resume mixing and continue for at least 2 minutes.

        Leave the anchor stirrer near the base throughout the mixing time.

        See mixing instructions.

    • Application
      • Application temperature: min. 5 °C max. 30 °C
      • trowel application
      • Working time min. 1 h
      • Apply the product in two layers on the previously prepared substrate.

        If a reinforcement fabric is required, embed into the first waterproofing layer.

    • Application instructions
      • In the case of liquid-applied waterproofing materials, direct sunlight and/or wind exposure can cause accelerated skin formation and accompanying blistering.

        Do not apply any further sealing layers until the previous layer has hardened sufficiently.

        Protect freshly coated surfaces from rain, direct sunlight, frost and condensation.

        Protect dry sealant from mechanical damage and UV radiation.

        Please contact Remmers Technical Service (phone +49 5432 83900) before applying with machine processing.

    • Working tools / cleaning
      • trowel application
