About Fosroc Hydroproof Xtra Coating Chemical, Packaging Size: 50 L
Hydroproof Xtra is formulated to be mixed with cement on site or simply brush applied over concrete or masonry surfaces to provide an effective waterproof membrane.
Main Uses
- Non - toxic, non-fl ammable and user friendly
- Provides a tough, impermeable waterproof membrane
- Can be applied by brush, on horizontal and vertical surfaces
- Excellent adhesion to concrete and masonry surfaces
- Protects concrete and mortar from natural elements such as wind, rain, sunlight
- Breathable - allows inside water vapour to escape
Superior Waterproofing PerformanceHydroproof Xtra utilizes a high purity acrylic polymer, ensuring robust waterproofing even under challenging conditions. Its outstanding flexibility and adhesion create a continuous, seamless barrier over concrete and masonry, preventing water penetration and protecting structures from long-term water damage. Hydroproof Xtra is engineered for industrial-grade reliability, suitable for new builds and renovations alike.
Easy Application & Fast DryingThis single-component system requires minimal preparation-simply mix with cement in a 1:2 weight ratio. The milky white liquid spreads easily and achieves touch dryness in just 45-60 minutes at 30C. Each coat delivers extensive coverage of 2.0-2.2 m2/kg, streamlining waterproofing operations and reducing labor costs. Its rapid curing accelerates project timelines, with 24 hours allowed between coats.
Safe, Eco-Friendly, and Long-LastingHydroproof Xtra is non-toxic, non-poisonous, low in VOCs, and emits a mild, acrylic-like odor. With a shelf life of 12 months in unopened original packaging and requiring storage away from sunlight in cool, dry conditions, it ensures user safety and environmental compliance. Its UV resistance and durable bond extend the lifespan of waterproofed structures.
FAQ's of Fosroc Hydroproof Xtra Coating Chemical, Packaging Size: 50 L:
Q: How should Fosroc Hydroproof Xtra be mixed and applied for best results?
A: Mix Hydroproof Xtra with cement in a 1:2 ratio by weight and apply it using a brush, roller, or spray. Ensure the surface is clean and free from dust or contaminants for optimal adhesion. Allow 24 hours between coats and begin application when the surface and ambient temperature are above 10C.
Q: What types of surfaces or areas is Hydroproof Xtra suitable for waterproofing?
A: Hydroproof Xtra is designed specifically for waterproofing roof slabs, terraces, balconies, sunken portions of toilets and bathrooms, as well as swimming pools and water tanks. It is ideal for cementitious surfaces requiring durable and flexible protection.
Q: When can a second coat of Hydroproof Xtra be applied after the first?
A: A second coat should be applied only after allowing the first coat to cure for 24 hours at ambient temperatures. This ensures proper film formation and maximizes the waterproofing efficiency of the coating.
Q: What storage conditions are recommended to maintain product integrity?
A: Store Hydroproof Xtra in its original, unopened packaging in a cool, dry, and shaded place, away from direct sunlight. Proper storage preserves the product's quality and effectiveness throughout its 12-month shelf life.
Q: What are the main benefits of using Hydroproof Xtra as a waterproofing membrane?
A: Hydroproof Xtra offers easy application, excellent flexibility, strong adhesion, UV resistance, and a durable bond. It is also non-toxic, environmentally friendly with low VOC content, and provides long-term protection for various cementitious structures.
Q: What is the typical coverage rate per kilogram per coat for Hydroproof Xtra?
A: The expected coverage for Hydroproof Xtra is approximately 2.0 to 2.2 square meters per kilogram per coat, depending on the substrate's porosity and surface profile.
