Application

  • Suitable for use on cement/sand screeds containing water based under floor heating systems.
  • Specifically developed to provide either a damp proof membrane, or to suppress residual moisture in concrete slabs and cement/sand screeds which are well compacted and sound, where readings of up to 98% RH are measured.
  • Can be used as a damp proof membrane that deals with damp concrete where a structural damp proof membrane is not present or is ineffective, with the risk of ground bearing moisture.
  • A thinner application may be used to suppress residual moisture in concrete slabs and cement/sand screeds which are well compacted and sound, where readings of up to 92% RH are measured.
  • Suitable for use on Calcium Sulphate screeds up to 90% RH. The surface temperature should not exceed 27°C in accordance with BS 8203 and BS 5325.
  • Suitable for heated concrete and cement/sand screeds. The surface temperature should not exceed 27°C in accordance with BS 8203 and BS 5325. 

Description

A one coat system to suppress residual moisture in lightly shot blasted power floated concrete sub-floors and dense cement and sand screeds. It provides a surface damp proof membrane (DPM) where a DPM is not present in the floor or it is not effective.


Features and benefits:

  • Guarantees the early laying of all floorcoverings.
  • Walkable in six hours.
  • Protects the final floorcovering from residual construction moisture and rising damp.
  • Can be applied where a structural DPM is not present or is ineffective.
  • Suitable for use on surfaces with the highest measurable levels of moisture content (up to 98% RH).
  • Adheres to saturated concrete even at lower temperatures.
  • Can receive ARDEX Smoothing and Levelling Compounds in as little as six hours.
  • Apply ARDITEX NA and ARDITEX RS PLUS direct without priming.


Thickness of application:

  • Minimum 250350 microns, as appropriate, to be checked using an ARDEX wet film thickness gauge.
  • Coverage of 1.8 m²/kg (350 microns)2.5 m²/kg (250 microns) is not to be exceeded.

For 85% RH use a A2 Trowel at 60 degrees to give a minimum thickness of 250 microns.


For 92% RH use a B1 Trowel at 60 degrees to give a minimum of 300 microns.


For 98% RH use a B2 Trowel at 60 degrees to give a minimum of 350 microns.


The applied film thickness can be checked with wet film thickness gauge.
