Description
STARPROOF WF-SP-600 is a special synthetic resin based waterproof coating. Because of its excellent flexibility and thixotropic nature it is ideal for use on vertical as well as horizontal surfaces. It is single pack, very economical and pollution free water proof coating. Due to its white color, it offers excellent UV Resistance & Solar reflectivity. Gives cooling effect due to the reflective properties.
IMPORTANT PREC AU TIONS Asphalt roof surfaces to be coated with STARPROOF WF-SP-600 must be at least one year old and load bearing. Application when rain threatens should be avoided for all substrates. The application at temperatures below 5oC will result particularly in case of thick coats, incomplete film formation and consequent reduced elasticity of the film as well as the possibility of formation of cracks in the coating. Low temperatures and high atmospheric humidity (such as fog) will slow down curing rate, and vice versa. STARPROOF WF-SP-600 membranes are resistant to the abrasion or light pedestrian traffic. However, they can be damaged by heavy traffic, high heeled shoes and furniture, and thus should be protected by tiles, slabs, etc. in such cases.
SUBSTRATE S Nature of substrates: STARPROOF WF-SP-600 waterproof membranes can be applied not only to concrete but also to wood and metal surfaces. With the latter a special primer is necessary. Roof Pitches: The membrane can be applied for all roofs to any extent of slope. Condition of substrate: Concrete and cementitious substrate are to be well compacted and at least 28 days old, with toweled finish. Wood panels or metal sheeting should be solidly fixed and cleaned. All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from dust or rust and oil residue.
COV ERA GE Coverage depends upon the nature of the surface to be applied. But on average, smooth surface will give approx 30 sq ft per kg (First Coat) & 27 sq ft per kg (Second coat). Two coats of the product will give 300 microns dft.
Flat roofs with zero pitch: Flat roofs without pitch, socalled zero pitch roofs, are roof surfaces where puddles may develop and which therefore pose special problems. Puddles after curing cannot be rectified which may necessitate redoing the entire waterproofing. Hence dry weather condition is a prerequisite to help satisfactory curing and puddle free coating. Broom with hard bristles (example of stiff plastic) should naturally not be used for cleaning since in unfavorable conditions they may cause damage to the coating
