TECHNICAL WRITE UP ON WATERGUARD I  

WATERGUARD I is two part polymer based waterproofing coating, specially designed polymer to ensure perfect water tightness, with insulating property to cool down inner temperature and ensures the flexibility to cover the thermal stresses. WATERGUARD I has an excellent frost resistance, Can be used on vertical and horizontal surfaces.  When applied as directed, this product bridges minor surface imperfection protects against driving rain, providing out –standing durability, and offers long lasting protection, as well as offering energy saving in both cold and hot climates.

 

BENEFITS:

v     Prepacked factory controlled, ensures consistent quality.

v     Provides good insulation property (8OC variation).

v     Saves up to 40% energy by reducing heating and cooling demands

v     High impact and resistance

v     Resistance to atmospheric pollution

v     Stable over a wide range of temperature variations

v     Non toxic and environmentally friendly

v     Remains intact on flexible surface

v     Excellent crack bridging

v     Exceptional film durability

v     Resistant to UV degradation

v     Bonds well to a wide range of surfaces

v     Gloss retention and mildew resistant

v     Easy to apply

v     Repaid drying for quick re-coating

v     Easy to clean

  

APPLICATION:

Waterproofing and thermal insulation to new and existing roofs, sidings and other surfaces on a wide range of substrates such as:

v      Precast and insitu concrete

v      Smooth masonry

v      Plaster and smooth stucco

v      Fibre cement and GRC panels

v      Sprayed PU

v      Bituminous sheeting and coatings

v      Galvanized steel and alum coating

v      Water tanks

 

WORKING OF WATERGUARD I  :

 

Above figure shows the heat reflection because of WATERGUARD I in summer.

WATERGUARD I content a micro spheres which act as a barriers. This barrier reflects, refracts and dissipates heat, thereby keeping heat in structures during the cold months and out of the structure during the hot months.

WATERGUARD I light insulating ideal for areas that will be subjected to moisture as it is a waterproof coating and will not only insulate, but also protect against moisture ingress. The coating can be effective in both hot and cold climates, reducing the cooling and heating demands.

 

ADVANTAGES:

v     WATERGUARD I can save to 30-40% energy cost.

v     It can be easily applied by brush, roller so not any special equipment are needed for coating

v     WATERGUARD I working as a thermal barrier which is very light in weight compare to the traditional 
       insulation boards.

v     IT has very good flexibility and durability ideal for heating and cooling without cracking.

v     IT has very good UV resistant property.

 

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

SURFACE PREPARATION: All the surfaces must be clean and free from dust, loose materials, oil, cement dropping etc. Before application of WATERGUARD I, prewet the surface and excess water is to be removed.

MIXING: WATERUGARD I is available in 2 part liquid and powder. Mix them thoroughly using electric mixing machine for homogeneous mix coating.

Do not add water, solvents or other paints or coatings to WATERGUARD I.  

 

APPLICATION:

Apply two coats of Prepared mix of WATERGURD I on the prepared surface. Second coat must be applied when first coat is dried.

WATERGUARD I is prepacked two components of 10 kg powder + 5 kg liquid, specially designed polymer processed cement and fillers, which covers approximately 8 to 9m2depends upon the substrates

 

SHELF LIFE:

Shelf life is a 12 months, if stored under shade in original sealed condition.

 

HEALTH & SAFETY:

WATERGUARD I is non-toxic but any splashes on the skin should be washed off with water.
