    - Concrete ceilings and walls
    - Bridges, silos and concrete towers
    - Most civil structures
    - Farm dams and reservoirs
  • Planter boxes

Features

  • Crack bridging capability up to 1,2 mm @ 20°C
  • High flexibility and long term durability
  • Resistant to carbonation and the ingress of chloride ions
  • Protects reinforced concrete against corrosion
    (concrete repair systems)
  • 100 % waterproof but permeable to water vapour
  • Excellent adhesion to most substrates
  • Weather resistant and UV stable in tropical conditions
  • Available in concrete grey
  • Safe for contact with food and potable water
  • Self priming

Application

Surface preparation

  • A clean, sound structure is required. Remove all oils,
    stains and imperfections.
  • It may be necessary to high pressure clean @ min. 120 bar
    pressure and thoroughly rinse the surface and/or skim the
    substrate with Lanko Rep FC.
  • The substrate must be dampened prior to application, leave
    no standing water. Do not dampen between coats; remove
    any condensation water with a clean cloth.
  • No additional priming is required on sound cement
    based substrates.
  • Apply the product with a painter's block brush or quality
    mohair roller - can be spray applied.
  • Apply two coats of Hydroflex, waiting for the first coat to
    set-up before applying the second, so as not to draw off the
    first; between 4 - 24 hours is suitable.
  • Each coat should be applied at a rate of 1,5 kg/m2 minimum.
  • Apply the first coat in a vertical motion and the second
    horizontally in order to effectively eliminate the possibility
    of pinholes.
  • The total thickness of the coating should not exceed 2 mm
    in thickness.
  • The final coat can be smoothened using a putty knife or
    a steel trowel.
  • Mortar must be used within 20 minutes of preparation (25°C)
