Surface Preparation
Ensure all surfaces are clean dry, sound and free from all laitance, fungal growth, grease, oil or loose and ?aking particles.
Bonding / Priming
After suitable preparation – prime porous surfaces with a neat coat of hydroproof LTE. Prime new galvanised iron with abe® 4-metal primer and old galvanised iron steel with a solvent based metal etch primer.
Mixing
Stir well before use.
Application
First coat: Apply by brush/roller using 1 L/m2. Embed membrane into wet coat, avoiding bubbles or wrinkles. Membrane overlaps: minimum 100 mm on end laps and 75 mm on side laps.
Second coat: once ?rst coat has dried (2 – 3 hours), apply second coat by brush/roller using 0.5 L/m2 and ensure membrane is fully saturated.
Third coat: once second coat has dried, apply third coat at different angle to second coat using 0.5 L/m2
Cleaning
Tools, brushes and mixing equipment should be cleaned immediately after use and before material has set with abe® super brush cleaner followed by washing with soap and water.
Protection / Maintenance on Completion
Whilst hydroproof LITE is designed for extended life, it is important to apply a maintenance coat of hydroproof LITE every year.
Caution
Do not use bituminous solutions as a primer.
Do not cover with stones or stone chippings.
