MAXEAL® Y
WATERPROOF COATING FOR GYPSUM AND PLASTER WALLS

Description

MAXSEAL - Y is a waterproof elastic coating, especially formulated for gypsum and plaster walls. It comes in the form of a thyxotropic paste that once polymerised it is transformed into a nondegradable elastomer, forming a 100% waterproof covering. It is a single component product.

Uses

- Indoor waterproofing of gypsum and plaster walls.
- Some cases allow the fixing of tiles.

Advantages

- Easy to apply, as a normal plastic paint. Does not require specialised personnel, thus providing an important savings in the total cost, over other systems.
- It is light.
- Forms a continuous coating that does not require any joints. It fills small cracks and penetrates into all pores.
- Expands and contracts along with the substrate to which it is applied.
- Works perfectly between –15ºC and + 100ºC
- Can be covered with any kind of tiling.

Application

Surface preparation. The surface must be clean and dry, free of all traces of paint, grease, dust, etc.

Tools. Can be applied by roller, brush or spray. If spraying, dilute with minimum amount of water necessary for spraying. Clean equipment with clean water immediately after the application is completed.

Application. Apply in two successive layers, once the first one is dry to the touch, at a maximum coverage of 0.5 to 1.0 kg. / m2 per layer. Apply the first layer in one direction only. The second must be applied in the perpendicular direction. Allow 5 – 18 hours between applications depending on environment conditions. Over porous surfaces such as gypsum or plaster, apply first a primer layer diluting MAXSEAL - Y with about 20 – 30% of water. For fixing of tiles make sure all the tile surface comes into contact with MAXSEAL - Y and the product with the wall, so, depending on the roughness of the tile and wall, the thickness of the layer applied will vary. The application technique is by hand pressing of the tile.

Consumption

From 0.5 to 1.0 kg/m2 per layer.
