DESCRIPTION PERFORMANCE DATA MasterSeal 540 is a two part, prepacked system, consisting of a liquid polymer as Part A and a Criteria Results premixed powder as Part B. The two parts on Pull off bond strength ~1MPa mixing yield a brush able, smooth slurry with Water excellent bond to most substrates. The product is penetration < 0.1mm based on selected synthetic resins and cements. Coefficient of MasterSeal 540 is in compliance with Bureau permeability 2.27 x 10-¹³m/s Veritas Potability test for used in drinking water QUV accelerated Gray scale: reservoirs or tanks. weathering test 4-5 (1000 hours) Surface Spread of Flame test: BS 476:Pt.7:71 (ASTM G53:93, 2-3 (2000 hours) (passes Class 1) type A (Gray Scale 1 denotes severe discolouration; 5 denotes mild RECOMMENDED USES or no discolouration.) MasterSeal 540 is designed to be used as an VOC 0.5 g/L effective waterproofing membrane on a variety of substrates. Applications include: PROPERTIES Waterproof coatings to the internal faces of water tanks, sumps, reservoirs, planter boxes etc., before tiling or other surface finishing. Part A Part B Treating terraces, balconies, kitchen and toilet Supply Form Liquid Powder floors as a sandwich treatment, to prevent Color White Grey water ingress. Working Time Treating bridge and flyover decks before @ 20°C 1 hour (approx.) wearing course to protect concrete from @ 30°C 0.5 hour (approx.) rainwater ingress. FEATURES AND BENEFITS Application Temperature >5°C Polymer modified – Improved bond strength on a variety of substrates. APPLICATION Permeable to water vapours - Allows surface to breath, preventing build-up of moisture in (A) SURFACE PREPARATION structure, reducing maintenance. Correct substrate preparation is critical for optimum Flexible - Can withstand moderate movement performance. Surfaces should be structurally sound of hairline cracks. Bridges cracks up to 0.3mm direct tensile strength of more than 1.5MPa via a in width, reducing maintenance. pull off tester with a load rate of 100N/s), clean, and Weather resistant - Suitable for use in exposed free from laitance, loose particles, oil and grease, conditions. old coatings, curing compounds or any other contaminants. Brushable consistency - Easily applied by brush or spray. Remove oil or grease and wax contaminants by scrubbing with industrial grade detergent or Non-toxic – Can be applied onto surfaces in degreasing compounds before mechanical contact with drinking water preparation. Cement laitance, loose particles, mold release agents, curing membranes and other contaminants must be removed from the surface by shot-blasting, grinding or scarifying followed by vacuum cleaning.

MasterSeal® 540 Flexible, polymer cement waterproofing slurry Prior to priming use MasterEmaco® repair mortars to achieve a smooth and level surface by filling ESTIMATING DATA holes and irregularities. The recommended coverage of MasterSeal 540 is (B) MIXING 1 kg/m² per coat to obtain an approximate wet film thickness of 0.8 mm (± 0.08mm). Mechanical mixing is necessary.
