Preparation | |
Horizontal work | ParaFlex PM Primer and ParaFlex Kiln-dried Sand.Guidance for specification option: A primer system comprised of a low-viscosity colourless reaction resin based on methyl methacrylate and a hardener powder. ParaFlex Universal Primer and ParaFlex Kiln-dried Sand.Guidance for specification option: A multi-purpose primer for use with ParaFlex FD, liquid applied waterproofing membrane. |
Skirtings and vertical work | ParaFlex PM Primer and ParaFlex Kiln-dried Sand.Guidance for specification option: A primer system comprised of a low-viscosity colourless reaction resin based on methyl methacrylate and a hardener powder. ParaFlex Universal Primer and ParaFlex Kiln-dried Sand.Guidance for specification option: A multi-purpose primer for use with ParaFlex FD, liquid applied waterproofing membrane. |
Carrier membrane | |
Type | Not required.AluBase XL.Guidance for specification option: A self-adhesive bituminous waterproofing membrane that forms a barrier against vapour and gases. Vedatop SU.Guidance for specification option: A self-adhesive SBS-modified base layer reinforced with a high tear resistant carrier. |
Attachment | Not applicable.Torch-on.Self adhesive. |
Liquid-applied waterproofing | |
Type | ParaFlex FD Cold Applied Liquid Waterproofing.Guidance for specification option: ParaFlex FD is mixed on site by adding the hardener to the resin in the correct proportion, and the accelerator in proportions relevant to the surface/ air temperature (see table in second image), and stirred in accordance with the mixing instructions. |
Reinforcement | ParaFlex G120 Reinforcement Fleece.Guidance for specification option: Reinforcing membrane for use with ReadySeal or ParaFlex FD cold liquid applied waterproofing systems. ParaFlex G165/G225 Reinforcement Fleece.Guidance for specification option: A polyester mesh fabric that helps regulate layer thickness of the ParaFlex FD and improves the cured breaking strength. |
Surface protection | Not required.ParaFlex Topsiegel Walkway / Balcony System. |
System accessories | Not required.ParaFlex FD Drag Strip.Guidance for specification option: A debonding tape used to create a slip joint or expansion joint beneath ParaFlex FD. ParaFlex FV Mastic.Guidance for specification option: A one component fibre-reinforced MS-Polymer for the sealing of difficult and inaccessible roof details and connections. An additional mat reinforcement is not necessary. ProScreed X Levelling Screed.Guidance for specification option: A two-component cold liquid applied levelling screed suitable for localised infilling and levelling of concrete structures prior to the installation of installation of the Radmat waterproofing system. |
Coverage | 2.4-3.0 kg/m⁻². Guidance for specification option: Range of system's total coverage, giving a finished cured thickness of 2.3 mm. |
