Description
Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane
CPR 400 – Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane is a two pack Epoxy resin-based primer/coating, which has been developed to function as a residual construction moisture suppressant, allowing the early installation of moisture sensitive flooring in fast track building programmes. One or two coats may be applied depending on the degree of dampness present in the sub-floor.
The product is available in grey, red, and clear colours to allow control of uniform coverage.
CPR 400 – Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane is also suitable for priming damp, minimally prepared substrates.
Typical Properties
- Provides surface damp-proof membrane
- Allows rapid laying of floor toppings to power floated concrete
- Solvent free, low odour
- Coloured to monitor progress
- Low viscosity, easily applied
- Excellent adhesion
- Surface tolerant
- Excellent resistance to water, grease and oil
Directions for Use
Surface Preparation
- Concrete surfaces shall be sound, clean and free from dust laitance and other contaminants.
- Suitable mechanical treatments such as vacuum grit blasting is recommended to ensure the removal of contaminants and to provide a ‘key’ for the CPR 400 – Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane.
- Moisture testing of the substrate in accordance with BS8203, shall be carried out on new concrete floors
- A sub floor moisture reading of 97% R.H. can be accommodated by CPR 400 – Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane.
- If readings exceed this figure, then the floor must be allowed to dry out further.
Mixing
- Pour the contents of the CURING AGENT tin into the BASE container and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means until a uniform colour and consistency is achieved.
Application
- Two coat application (R.H.>92%) – Apply a first coat of CPR 400 – Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane by brush or roller to the prepared substrate at a nominal rate of 3 m²/kg. Within 24 hours apply a second coat at a nominal rate of 4 m²/kg.
- Single coat application (R.H<92%). – Apply a coat of CPR 400 – Epoxy Damp Proof Membrane (grey, red, or clear) at a nominal rate of 3 m²/kg
Equipment Cleaning
- Clean equipment with CPR 200 Tool Clean Solvent prior to curing of the coating.
