CEMTEC A1 BLACK P.U.

LIQUID APPLIED WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE

z Available in 20 ltr pail unlike bulky sheet type
membranes.
z Maintenance free waterproofing system.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Surface Preparation - Remove all dirt, laitance,
oil grease, wax and other loose materials from the
surface using a stiff nylon or steel bristled brush
followed by compressed air. Voids, crack, and
irregular surface with at least 3 mm depth shall be
filled or levelled with mortar screed and allowed to
cure at least forty eight (48) hours.
Priming - Prepare primer coat by mixing one (1)
part Xylene to three (3) part CEMTEC A1 BLACK
