Application
 Corrugated asbestos / metal / non-galvalised corrugated tin roofs.
 Sunken areas.
 Rejuvenation of existing bituminous membrane – Hessian / HMHDPE based membrane.
 Residential terraces (flat / slope) in substitution of hessian / HMHDPE based membrane.

Advantages
 User friendly, Non-toxic, Green product.
 Excellent Waterproofing Characteristics.
 Good crack bridging property
 Cold applied and hence does not require heating.
 Monolithic and Seamless Membrane.
 Excellent bonding to concrete.
 Can be applied on moist surface also.
 Excellent vapour barrier.
 Good flexibility and does not crack on aging.
 Prevents growth of fungus, algae etc.

Application Methodology

 Surface Preparation
 Remove all loose gravel, dirt, oil, grease and foreign matter by jet of dry air and clean the
surface mechanically or by grinding to make it smooth before application.
 Repair all cracks by cutting “V” groove and fill with PMC mortar prepared in the ratio of HS
Advanced Latex Plus : Water : Cement : Sand (1 : 1 : 5 : 20).
 Provide 50 mm x 50 mm coving made out of PMC mortar as above.

 Material Preparation
 Stir TarFelt DPC by a slow speed mixture (approx. 400 rpm) fitted with a suitable mixing
paddle to ensure a homogenous mix.
 After stirring, wait for the product to settle in order to let entrapped air escape.

 Waterproofing Application
 Slightly damp the surface. Avoid standing water / ponding.
 Prime the surface with a mixture of TarFelt DPC and potable water in the ratio of 50 : 50
and apply @ 400 grm / m2 of the mixture and allow it to touch dry.
 Apply first coat of TarFelt DPC @ 0.70 kg / m² by brush / roller / airless spray while the
primed surface is tacky. For faster and smoother application, airless spray is preferred.
 Spread fiber glass net of 45 gsm with overlaps of 50 mm in both directions when the surface
is still tacky.
 Allow 1st coat to dry for 10 – 12 hr.
 Apply second coat of TarFelt DPC @ 0.70 kg / m² by brush / roller / airless spray for final
DFT of 1000 micron in two coats inclusive of fiber glass of 45 gsm (theoretical coverage
depending on surface conditions).
 Sprinkle sand @ 200 grm / m2 over the final vertical coating when the surface is still tacky
to facilitate plastering.
 Ensure final curing time of 36 hrs before allowing / carrying out any further work.
 Conduct ponding test after 7 days of curing at ambient temperature.

 Protection of Waterproofing
 Spread 150 gsm Geotextile Fleece with overlap of 50 mm in both directions on fully cured
surface.
 Protect surface with 50 mm PCC admixed with HS Power Plasticizer and gradient of 1 :
100.

 Rejuvenation of Existing Treatment


 Clean existing surface thoroughly and remove all loose / foreign material.
 TarFelt DPC shall be applied on prepared surface as per above procedure.

Health & Safety

 Avoid contact with skin / eyes and avoid swallowing.


 Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid inhalation of vapor.
 Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye protection
 In case of contact with skin, rinse with plenty of clean water, then cleanse with soap and
water. Do not use solvent to clean the contacted area.

 In case of eye contact, wash immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical
advice.
 If swallowed seek medical attention immediately. Do not induce vomiting.
