MAXELASTIC®
A WATERPROOFING, ELASTIC AND SPECIAL COATING FOR ALL TYPES OF COVERINGS

Description

MAXELASTIC is an elastic acrylic coating, specially formulated for all types of roofs. It comes in the form of a thixotropic paste, ready to use. Once polymerised it is transformed into a non-degradable elastomer, giving a 100% waterproof covering.

Uses

- For waterproofing, protecting and filling in facades, partion walls, jardinieres, joints between chimneys and tiles.
- For treatment and waterproofing of joints in facades and roofs.
- For waterproofing all types of roofs.

Advantages

- Easy application and clean up.
- Maintains flexibility in a wide temperature range. MAXELASTIC is stable under ultra-violet rays.
- Excellent elasticity and perfect adhesion over all kinds of surfaces.
- Forms a continuous covering that does not need joints. It fills all cracks and penetrates into all likely places for leaks.
- Expands and contracts along with the substrate to which it is applied.
- Good colour range.
- MAXELASTIC can also be covered with any king of tiling.

Application

Surface preparation. The surface to be coated must be clean and free from dirt, efflorescence and grease.
Clean equipment immediately after application completed with clean water.
Tools.
MAXELASTIC can be applied by brush, spray or roller.
How to use.
MAXELASTIC should be applied in coats, moving first in one direction and then in the opposite direction (Maximum 1,5 Kg/m2), until the required thickness is achieved.
Allow at least 5-18 hours curing, depending on weather condition. Over porous surfaces, apply first a primer coat diluting MAXELASTIC with 20-30% of water.
Expansion joints.
Once the joint is opened up and clean, apply a fine coat of MAXELASTIC. Then spread a strip of glass fibre (6 - 8 cm wide) and apply MAXELASTIC. The elasticity of the product will allow the joint to move without cracking the waterproof coating.
Cracks.
Clean and open up all suspect cracks. Back fill crack with one part of MAXELASTIC and another part of fine silica sand, sealing following the same procedure as used for the expansion joints.
Terraces and roofs.
Once the surface is prepared, apply a first coat (1,5 Kg/m2) of MAXELASTIC. Once it cures, cover with a strip of glass fibre and apply the second coat of MAXELASTIC STONE, 2 mm. thick.

Coverage

By applying 1,5 kg/m² it provides a coat of 1 mm thickness.
Terraces: Use 2 - 3 kg/m².
Facades: use 0,7 kg/m² (minimum)
