Areas of Application
- Waterproofing treatment for RCC water tanks.
- Internal damp walls treatment & also for ceiling.
- Primer for painting on internal/external surfaces.
- Toilet, kitchen walls & Lift pits.
- As a putty with OPC-white cement to fill the fine cracks of internal walls.
- In sterile areas of pharma/ food industries, hatcheries.
Method of Application
SURFACE PREPARATION
- Clean the surfaces thoroughly, as they should be free from oil, grease, dust, debris, fungus and moss.
- Thorough wire brushing and followed by sanding with emery paper is recommended.
- Remove the existing paint, neroo or instant lime, etc. while treating internal damp walls.
MIXING:
- First stir the Base and Hardener thoroughly in their individual packs to achieve the uniform consistency.
- Pour the Base part in appropriate container followed by the Hardener part and mix them thoroughly together to a homogeneous smooth paste.
- Dilute the mixed compound with water (In ratio of 1 part Base: 1 part Hardener: 1 water) by slow addition and mix it thoroughly until a brushable consistency is obtained.
APPLICATION
WATERPROOFING OF RCC WATER TANKS :
- Prepare a groove in the crack 1 mm to 5 mm. Clean the dust by washing it with water.
- Fill the cracks/ grooves with Dr. Fixit Dampguard modified putty & allow it to dry for at least 24 hrs.
- Apply the first brush coat of mixed quantity of Dr. Fixit Dampguard. Allow to dry for 6 to 8 hrs
- In case of several leakage problems due to more cracks on the walls, apply Dr. Fixit Dampguard –OPC/ white cement Putty on the entire surface area. Allow it to dry for at least 24 hrs.
- Apply second brush coat of mixed Dr. Fixit Dampguard. Allow it to cure completely for 24 hrs before applying a cement sand plaster on wall or a screed on floors.
- The treatment of Dr. Fixit Dampguard can also be kept open, as the product possesses the non-toxic property. In such situations allow it to cure for minimum 3-4 days prior to storage of the water. The treatment of Dampguard then must be cleaned with the help of damp cloth/sponge and plenty of water prior to storage the water.
DR. FIXIT DAMPGUARD – OPC/White Cement Putty
- Mix DR. FIXIT DAMPGUARD (1part Base & 1part Hardener) thoroughly, add 2 parts of Ordinary Portlandor white cement and add required amount of water to get a plaster like consistency.
DAMP PROOFING OF VERTICAL INTERNAL WALLS:
- Clean the existing substrate as mentioned earlier in the surface preparation section.
- Apply two brush coats of mixed Dr. Fixit Dampguard at an interval of 6 hrs.
- Allow it to dry for minimum 24 hours before applying a cement sand plaster on walls before painting. Dr. Dampguard modified putty can also be used in case of cracks observed on internal damp walls.
Precautions & Limitations
- Not meant for rising dampness
- All previous coatings to be completely removed before application of Dr. Fixit Dampguard.
- Do not dilute the product over prescribed limit.
- Dr. Fixit Dampguard when applied on exterior surfaces must be overcoated by weather durable coatings.
- Avoid application below 10 deg. Centigrade.
- Use nylon brush for easy brushability.
- Should not be applied on painted surfaces.
- Not resistant to acids and alkalis of higher concentrations and for longer period.
- Drying time depends on the condition of damp surfaces and temperature.
- Wash hands & tools with soap & warm water.
- Before mixing stir the individual packs to achieve uniform consistency..
