How To Use
Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be prepared thoroughly before commencing. Surfaces are to be sound, stable, dry and clean, free of loose foreign matter including any surface residues or existing coatings. Buildings are to be constructed to relevant building standards and manufacturer’s recommendations are to be followed for all building materials used.
Gripset Betta waterproofing system is made up of 3 stages:
Priming
Detailing
Membranes
Priming
Priming is an important step in the application to optimise surface adhesion. Recommended primers for BITUMEN RUBBER MEMBRANE
Bitumen Rubber: Self priming, diluted 1:3 parts with water for porous surfaces; 1:1 with water for non porous surfaces
Prep coat & Additive: Non tack primer coat for porous surfaces
Super Primer: For non porous and smooth surfaces
Damp Stop: For surfaces subjected to rising damp or residual moisture
Membrane Coverage
A minimum of 2 coats is to be applied at a total minimum coverage of 1.5 Litre/m², to form a dried film thickness of approx 1.2mm. For immersed areas, a minimum coverage of 2 Litres/m² is required. Apply subsequent coats at different directions to the previous coat. Coverage is dependent upon surface condition; greater coverage may be required on uneven and porous surfaces. Apply by roller, brush, trowel or spray unit.
