• For Swimming pools (Internal application)
• For Water Tanks (Internal Application)
• As a Damp Proofing Course(DPC)
• For Masonry walls (internal application)

Area of Application:

In terrace waterproofing (for small spans)

Method of Application

• Mother slab must be sound / mechanically surface prepared / grouted for cracks
• For repair of existing slab & re-waterproofing, the mother concrete slab must be stripped off its old treatment completely. Mechanical Methods must be adopted to prepare the surface and vacuum suck to clean off all loose particles & debris.
• In new construction, the terrace slab must be cast to the required slope for effective drain of the rain water. In situations where drain points are provided at one end only, suitable provision must be made to drain off the water.
• The slab must be thoroughly wetted with water to a state where it is saturated. But extra care must be taken to see that there is no stagnant or standing water. Any such water must be mopped off. As such, the concrete substrate to receive the treatment must be in a saturated surface dry condition, where the slab is thoroughly wet but dry to touch
• Mix the both the parts of Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K with a slow speed (100 - 150 RPM) forced action mixer for big quantity of 15 kg, to achieve an even consistency. Consume the mixed material within 30 minutes at 300C.
• All the powder lumps formed during mixing must be hand-crushed completely.
• PLEASE DO NOT ADD WATER during mixing.
• For large application areas, take up a quantity that can be mixed and applied in 20 - 30 minutes.
• ALWAYS ADD the POWDER component into the LIQUID and NOT the LIQUID into the Powder
• With a brush, apply the first coat of Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K over the prepared substrate. Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K will cover 12 - 14 sft / kg of mixed material at a thickness of 500 - 600 microns in single coat.
• Apply a 2nd coat of Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K after 4 to 5 hrs of the 1st coat and achieve the total coating thickness of 1 mm in two coats.
• In a demanding application such as a terrace, a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm in 3 coats must be achieved.
• To achieve thickness of 1.5 mm to 2 mm a Polypropylene Fibre Net can be used and sandwiched in between the two coats of Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K. Consult Dr. FIXIT for this specific use
• This treatment shall be left as it is for atleast 72 hours, during which it will, air cure.
• Sprinkling or ponding with water is not recommended. Avoid direct sunlight during the entire application. It will be ideal if applications are taken up from the evening onwards.
• 72 hours later, overlays as detailed below, for resistance to traffic and protection from physical damage to the 2K coating , can be overlaid.
• * A cement-sand mortar screed at 15 - 25 mm thick.Brick Bat Coba treatment * Mud Faska * Lime Surki * Clay tiles, etc.

Precautions & Limitations

• Must be rotected from foot traffic.
• Do not pond with water immediately after the 2nd coat. Allow it to air cure for atleast 72 hours.
• Pre-wetting of the substrate is essential before coating.
• Film thickness of 1 to 1.2 mm must be achieved in 2 coats. For a critical areas 1.5 mm thick film is recommended to be achieved in 3 coats.
• Must be applied on totally cured surface.
• Do not undertake application in hot sun (above 300C) and below 100C.
• Apply a neat bond coat of Dr. Fixit Pidicrete MPB over the Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K film for effective bond of the plaster.
• Do not dilute product with water at site.
• Part mixing is strictly prohibited.

Area of Application:

For Applications in Wet areas such as Sunken slabs / Toilets & Bathroom

Method of Application

• Mother slab of a toilet or a sunken slab must be sound / mechanically surface prepared/ grouted for cracks
• For repair of existing slab & re-waterproofing, the mother concrete slab must stripped off its old treatment completely. Mechanical Methods must be adopted to prepare the surface, and vacuum suck to clean off all loose particles & debris.
• Ask Dr. FIXIT for detailed specification on waterproofing repair treatment on 'old construction'
• The slab must be thoroughly wetted with water to a state where it is saturated. But extra care must be taken to see that there is no stagnant or standing water. Any such water must be mopped off. As such, the concrete substrate to receive the treatment must be in a Saturated Surface Dry Condition.
• Mix the 2 different parts of Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K with a slow speed (100 - 150 RPM) forced action mixer for a big quantity of 15 kg, to achieve an even consistency. All the powder lumps formed during mixing must be hand crushed completely.
• PLEASE DO NOT ADD WATER during mixing. Please ensure that the mixed material is consumed within 30 minutes at 300C. For large application areas, take up a quantity that can be mixed and applied in 20 - 30 minutes. ALWAYS ADD the POWDER component into the LIQUID and NOT the LIQUID into the Powder

• When this layer is dry after 4 - 6 hours, brushes apply a second coat of Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K over the first in the manner detailed above.o The total thickness of 1 to 1.2 mm of this waterproofing will be achieved in 2 coats
• This treatment shall be left as it is for atleast 72 hours, during which it will air cure. Sprinkling of water or ponding with water is not recommended. Avoid direct sunlight during the entire application.
• For horizontal applications, a 10 - 15 mm cement sand mortar screed in 1: 3 shall be laid over this coating, which essentially provides protection for further plumbing & sanitation work.
• In vertical applications, a neat bond coat of Dr. Fixit Pidicrete MPB shall be applied over a dry 2K film coat. When this coat has achieved a tacky state, plastering work shall be done. After sufficient curing, plumbing and relevant sanitation work can be started.

Area of Application:

For Masonry walls (internal application)

Method of Application

• Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K is also suitable for applying over the internal face of rain lashed walls. Its ability to take the negative pressure further makes this recommendation stronger. A leveling layer of plaster is a must. This will give a plain surface for the application of 2K and optimise its consumption.
• The inside plaster of the wall must be in sound condition. All the visible surface cracks (less than 5 mm in width) should be filled with Dr. Fixit Crack-X Powder and crack free areas must be checked for their soundness. The cracks more than 5 mm wide or all types of the separation gaps must be sealed with Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP modified mortar. Ask DR. FIXIT for details. Do not apply Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K over the loose / debonded plaster.
• Prepare the surface carefully to receive the first coat of Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K. All the loose particles and debris must be removed with the help of wire brush.
• The entire area must be thoroughly wetted with water to a state where it is saturated. But extra care must be taken to see that there is no stagnant or standing water. Any such water must be mopped off. The concrete substrate to receive the treatment must be in a saturated surface dry condition.
• For large application areas, take up a quantity that can be mixed and applied in 20 - 30 minutes ALWAYS ADD the POWDER component into the LIQUID and NOT the LIQUID into the powder. Apply 1st coat over the wall and allow it to dry for 4-6 hours.
• Apply the 2nd coat and allow it to air cure for 72 hours. The total thickness of 1 to 1.2 mm shall be achieved in 2 coats.
• POP or ordinary lambi or fairing work can be done over the Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K** film. Painting work can be taken up once the POP work is completely dry.
• If the plaster is bad and has debonded form the brick masonry, the same should be removed and redone. The bond coat of Dr. Fixit Pidicrete MPB / URP mixed with cement in the ratio of 1:1 by volume shall be applied over the exposed wall before plastering, for proper bonding. Cure the surface adequately for a minimum period of 7 days before applying Dr. Fixit Pidifin 2K
