Application

  • Specifically designed for the structural waterproofing and protection of concrete substrates where improved chemical and abrasion resistance is required.
  • Intercrete 4840 can be reinforced with Intercrete 4872 tape to accommodate movement of cracks and joints.
  • It can also be used as a one or two coat, direct-to-metal corrosion protection system for suitably prepared steel substrates.
  • Depending upon the condition of the substrate and any exposed steel reinforcement, additional surface preparation products from the Intercrete range may be required prior to the application of Intercrete 4840.
  • All concrete floors, decks and highly porous substrates should be appropriately sealed using Intercrete 4850. Intercrete 4840 should always be applied directly to correctly prepared steel substrates.
  • The following topcoats are recommended for Intercrete 4840: Intercrete 4870.
