Application
Home Pride Water Proofing Solution ensure that surface is completely free from all dirt, loosely held plaster, powdery residue, oil, grease, or any other contamination, any previous growth fungus, algae or mass need to be removed thoroughly by vigorous wire brushing and cleaning with water. The substrate should be thoroughly soaked with clean water and any excess removed prior to work process.
Saw cut or cut back the extremities of the repair locations to a depth of at least 10 mm to avoid feather edging and to provide a square edge. Break out the complete repair area to a minimum depth of 6mm up to the sawn edge.
Expose fully any corroded steel in the repair area and remove all loose scale and corrosion deposits. Steel should be cleaned to a bright condition paying particular attention to the back of exposed steel bars. Where corrosion has occurred due to the presence of chlorides, the steel should be high-pressure washed with clean water immediately after grit-blasting to remove corrosion products from pits and imperfections within its surface.
A slurry primer should be prepared consisting of 1 volume
For application to all surface, Home Pride Adhesive Water Proofing mortar, toppings and renders must be well-compacted on to the primed substrate by trowel. it is frequently beneficial to work a thin layer of the mortar into the slurry primer and then build the mortar onto this layer . Exposed steel aliment should be completely encapsulated.
Home Pride Water Proofing mortar can be applied at a minimum thickness of 6mm and up to 40 mm thickness, dependent on the location of the confrigment of the repair zone. The thickness achievable in overhead location without the use of formwork is largely dependent on the profile of the substrate refer to the recommended thickness shown in the mix design section above.
If the recommended thickness is exceeded and sagging occurs, the affected section must be completely removed and reapplied in accordance with the procedure described above. The use of formwork may facilitate achieving the required build. If formwork is used, it should have properly sealed faces to ensure that no water is absorbed from the repair material.
Where thicker section up to a total thickness of 40mm are to be built up by hand or trowel application, the surface of the intermediate layers should be scratch-keyed and cured with diluted prime application of the slurry primer and a further application of Home Pride Adhesive Water Solution mortar may proceed as soon as this layer has set.
Working in Low temperature
Normal precaution for winter working with cementitious materials should be adopted. If temperature bellow to 5 0C, the use of warm water (up to 300C) is advisable to accelerate strength of process.
Working in High temperature
In summer the ambient temperatures above 350C, the material should be stored in the shade and cool water used for mixing.
Steps
Application process
Step 1
The substrate should be clean & thoroughly soaked with clean water
Step 2
Substrata priming
Step 3
Weight the cement, sand and, where required, aggregate into the mixer and dry blend together for 1 minute
with mechanical mixer
Step 4
Add the pre mix Home Pride Water Solution and clean water. Continue mixing for 3 minutes to ensure complete dispersal in to
sand and cement.
Step 5
Addition water should be kept to minimum. Continue mixing up to a maximum of 5 minutes until a smooth
and fully homogeneous consistency is achieved with the required workability and application property.
Application of Home Pride Adhesive Water Solution mortar on substrate.
Step 6
For best results allow Home Pride Adhesive Water Solution to dry completely for 3 days before tiling the surface.
Retouching –
Home Pride Water Solution mortar can be finished with a steel, plastic or wood float, or by a damp sponge technique, to achieve the desired surface texture. The completed surface should not be overworked.
Cleaning –
Home Pride Water Solution should be removed from tools, equipment and mixers with clean water immediate after application.
Excess Cured material can be removed mechanically
Storage –
Home Pride Water Proofing Solution should be stored in a dry store in original, unopened packaging. It should be protected from cold.
Precautions:
Do not apply the material without cleaning & pre wetting the surface.
Ensure the material is mixed homogeneously with water and allowed to stand 5 minutes before application.
Though the material is non-toxic, care should be taken to avoid dust inhalation while mixing and handling.
Safety features:
Kindly refer to the MSDS for Home Pride Home Pride Water Solution which gives detailed information on safety measures while handling the product.
It is recommended to wear suitable nose pad during sanding and surface preparation to avoid dust inhalation.
In case of skin contact immediately wash skin with soap and plenty of water. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
May be harmful if swallowed. In case of ingestion seek immediate medical attention.
Keep out of reach out of children and away from food, drink
Wear eye protection during application. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice
Do not pour leftover paint down the drain or in water courses.
In the event of spills, contain spillage using sand or earth.
