WATERPROOF, ONE-COMPONENT, MORTAR FOR LEVELLING, PROTECTION AND DECORATIVE FINISHING OF CONCRETE AND MASONRY

Decorative Concreseal Plastering M for Waterproofing

DESCRIPTION

CONCRESEAL® PLASTERING-M – a single-component mortar composed of cements, carefully controlled silica aggregates and special additives, designed for waterproofing, levelling, protection and decoration of concrete and masonry, in one single layer with a thickness between 3 and 5 mm.
It is also available with a smaller aggregate size version CONCRESEAL® PLASTERING-M REGULAR, for a smoother cosmetic finish.

Where Concreseal Plastering M is used – Applications

• Levelling, waterproof protection and decorative layer with a minimum thickness in swimming pools, on façades, and masonry units: pre-cast elements, bricks, rendered walls, etc.
• Protection of MAXSEAL, MAXSEAL SUPER and MAXSEAL FLEX against abrasion, impacts and wearing in water channels, pipelines, settlement tanks in wastewater treatment plants, etc.
• Protection of concrete to weathering and freeze-thaw cycles.
• Protection for concrete exposed to abrasion and high flowing water in wastewater treatment plants, dams, waterfalls, channels, pipelines, etc…
• Levelling, finishing and protection on façades and partition walls in new buildings, residential buildings or restoration works in areas subject to the marine environment.

Advantages or Benefits

• Avoid substrate damage due to water ingress and other aggressive chemicals.
• Serves three functions: waterproofing, protection and decoration in a single application.
• High impact resistance, abrasion and wearing exposed to water flows.
• Adds aesthetic uniformity, maintaining architectural details of fluting, vertical lines, decorative mouldings, etc.
• Permeable to water vapour, allows the substrate to breathe, and allows finishing on Drizoro Maxseal Foundation, Drizoro Maxseal Flex, and Drizoro Maxseal Super in negative waterproofing works.
• Suitable for use in contact with drinking water. Non-toxic and does not contain chloride.
• Very good adhesion to the substrate. It fills and seals the porosity of the surface and becomes part of the structure of the substrate. No primer/bonding agent is required.
• Resistant to UV rays and aggressive environments: seacoasts, zones with air pollution, etc. A long-lasting solution, with no maintenance required.
• Fully compatible with cement-based coatings Drizoro Maxseal Foundation, Drizoro Maxseal Flex, Drizoro Maxseal Super, etc.
• Easy to apply by trowel, roller or spay methods.
• Environmentally friendly: non-toxic, cement-based and solvent-free product.

How Do I Apply Concreseal Plastering M for Waterproofing – Application Instructions

1. Surface Preparation

The substrate must be structurally sound, firm, without cement laitance as uniform as possible, and preferably with a slight roughness, i.e. open textured surface. For applications on old renders, tensile strength should be at least 1,0 N/mm2. The surface must be clean and free of paints, coatings, efflorescence, loose particles, grease, oils, curing agents, form release agents, dust, gypsum plasters, organic growth or any other contaminants that may affect adhesion.
For cleaning and preparing the substrate, preferably in case of smooth and/or poorly absorbent substrates, use a wire brush, sandblasting or high pressure water cleaning methods, not aggressive mechanical means.

Surface defects, voids and static cracks without movement, once opened and routed to a minimum depth of 2 cm, must be repaired with MAXREST® (Technical Bulletin No. 2) to provide a sound and even surface.
Rebars and other metal elements exposed during the substrate preparation should be cleaned and passivated with MAXREST® PASSIVE (Technical Bulletin No. 12), while non-structural and surface iron elements must be cut to a depth of at least 2 cm and then covered with MAXREST®.
Substrates affected by internal salt crystallization should be treated, contact the office for details.
Once the substrate has been repaired and cleaned, it must be saturated thoroughly with water but do not leave free standing water before application. If it gets dry, saturate with water again.

2. Mixing

A 25 kg bag of CONCRESEAL® PLASTERING-M requires from 4,0 to 4,5 litres (17±1%) of water for trowel or roller applications.
For spay applications, a 25 kg bag of CONCRESEAL® PLASTERING-M requires from 5,0 to 6,0 litres of water, according to application temperature and desired finish.
Pour the required amount of mixing water into a clean container followed by CONCRESEAL® PLASTERING-M, and mix with slow speed electric drill (400-600 rpm) fitted with a disc mixer for about 2-3 minutes until achieving a lump-free and homogeneous mortar.
Do not mix for a prolonged period nor use a high-speed mixer, which may introduce air bubbles.
Allow the mixture to rest for 3 to 5 minutes to fully wet out all the powder, and remix briefly before applying.

3. Application Trowel application:

Apply the mortar onto the surface by trowel in an even and thick layer with a recommended consumption of 1,7 kg/m2 per mm thickness. Make sure CONCRESEAL® PLASTERING-M is firmly pressed into all voids and applied in layers between 3 to 5 mm thickness.
When mortar starts to set, i.e. from 20 to 30 min depending on ambient conditions, the surface can be finished with a sponge, wood, plastic float or trowel, depending on the desired texture.

CAUTION:

When CONCRESEAL®PLASTERING-M is applied to a previously applied Membrane i.e. MAXSEAL, MAXSEAL FLEX, MAXSEAL SUPER, etc. it is recommended to use a mix of 50% water and 50% BONDCRETE as the mixing liquid.

4. Spray Application

Fill any honeycombs or non-structural void deeper than 5 mm with CONCRESEAL® PLASTERING-M by using a trowel, and then spray one layer of CONCRESEAL® PLASTERING with 3 to 5 mm thickness and covering areas from 6 to 8 m2. Once it sets, additional layers can be sprayed as needed to achieve the desired thickness or provide a uniform texture, maintaining the same distance from the surface.
For negative water pressure or water immersion conditions, use Drizoro Maxseal Foundation, Drizoro Maxseal Flex, and Drizoro Maxseal Super as waterproof coating.
After 7 days of curing time, then apply CONCRESEAL® PLASTERING-M as finish.

To prevent shadowing on deep masonry joints or areas with extremely unequal absorption, apply one coat of MAXSEAL® / Foundation in order to obtain a more regular and homogeneous surface.

5. Application conditions

Do not apply when rain is expected within 24 hours after application.
The optimum temperature range for application is from 10 ºC to 30 ºC. Do not apply with substrate and/or ambient temperature at or below 5°C, or when temperatures are expected to fall below 4 °C within 24 h after application. Do not apply to frozen or frost-covered surfaces.
For applications at cold temperatures, do not wet the surface excessively.
For applications at hot temperatures (> 30 ºc), low relative humidity and/or windy conditions, i.e. summer time, the surface must be wet thoroughly with plenty of water prior to application. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight with extreme heat.

6. Curing

Prevent a quick drying of CONCRESEAL® PLASTERING-M and protect from extreme heat
(30 ºC) with direct sunlight to maintain its moisture for at least 24 hours after the application, spraying a fine mist of water without washing out the surface, or using polyethylene sheeting or damp burlaps. Do not apply curing agents.
Allow CONCRESEAL® PLASTERING-M to cure for at least 7 days (20 ºC and 50% R.H.) before water immersion. Lower temperatures and/or higher H.R. values increase the curing time.

7. Cleaning 

All tools and equipment must be cleaned immediately with water after use. Once the product hardens, this can only be removed by mechanical means.
