ADFLEX WAM FR is a fibre reinforced single component liquid membrane formulated on scientifically advanced elastomeric copolymer emulsions specifically for use as a rapid drying wet area membrane with outstanding waterproofing qualities.
Preparation:
Surfaces dry, clean, sound and free of oil, grease and loose materials.
Priming:
Walls and floors should be primed with ADFLEX WAM FR Primer applied with either brush or roller. Plasterboard surfaces do not require priming except where jointing compounds have been used. Depending on weather conditions primer will be touch dry in about 15 minutes. Coverage is approximately 6 to 10 square metres per litre depending on surface porosity.
CONCRETE: Four weeks curing to be allowed.
CEMENT RENDER: Two weeks curing required.
FIBRE CEMENT & PLASTERBOARD: Must be suitable for wet area and fastened in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
ADFLEX WAM FR Application:
Most critical areas are the interfaces between walls and floor and at vertical corners.
Use ADFLEX WAM FR with REOBAND and bond breaker to the following:
(A) on covering areas between wall and floor.
(B) the corner between the shower hob and floor.
(C) vertical corners in showers where tiles are to be fixed.
(D) floor cracks and joints between sheet flooring.
To prepared surfaces apply one coat of ADFLEX WAM FR with a brush or roller over the whole area to be tiled. In areas treated with a bond breaker and around waste outlets, pipes and vents, apply REOBAND onto the ADFLEX WAM FR, bedding it in two directions to ensure that no air bubbles remain. Cover with a second coat of ADFLEX WAM FR.
ADFLEX WAM FR Application walls:
With a roller apply ADFLEX WAM FR in two directions on dry primed surface at the rate of 1 litre per square metre. Allow approximately one day - depending on weather conditions - to dry before tiling.
ADFLEX WAM FR Application floors:
Apply ADFLEX WAM FR by brush or roller to primed area. Immediately position REO-FAB whilst wet, bedding in two directions to eliminate air bubbles. Cover with a coat of ADFLEX WAM FR. Allow approximately 2 - 3 days depending on weather conditions - to dry before tiling.
Coverage:
Approximately 1.5 litres per square metre to provide a dry film thickness of no less than 1mm.
Cleaning:
Wash equipment with clean water and remove cured material with mineral turps.
Packaging:
ADFLEX WAM FR is available in 20Ltr pails and 4Ltr shower kits.
Storage:
Protect from frost and heat.
Shelf life:
One year if stored in a dry place between 10°C and 25°C sealed.
Precautions:
ADFLEX WAM FR is non-hazardous but in case of eye contamination rinse with clean water and obtain medical advice.

General Surface Preparation
|
Concrete: |
Concrete and cement to be full cured. Remove laitance, form release and curing compounds - refer ADCRETE INDUSTRIES for suitable curing and form release compounds. |
|
Masonry: |
Substrate to be clean, dry and free of contaminants such as grease or oils. |
|
Timber: |
Surface to be clean, dry and free of oil residue. |
|
Steel: |
Remove grease and oil. Mechanical abrading and de-rusting will suffice in most instances. |
|
Pre-painted surfaces: |
Remove flaking and unsound paint - sand back gloss finishes. Ensure surfaces are sound and well bonded prior to the application of ADFLEX WAM FR Primer. |
