Applications & Uses

Application Procedure

Surface Preparation – Concrete surface: The substrate on which the coating will be applied has to be cleaned thoroughly of all contaminants which may affect the adhesion. All major repair works needs to be carried out with a suitable repair material prior to the application.

Surface Preparation – Metal surface: The surface on which the coating will be applied has to be cleaned of all rust scales by either using a wire brush or by grit blasting.

Priming: Apply a primer coat on the concrete surface using a brush or roller to seal the pores and stabilize the surface by diluting UltraShield AC 10 with 20% water. This will help in boosting adhesion for the top coat.

Allow it to dry completely before applying the acrylic coating.

Application: To ensure a homogenous mix, it is recommended to mix the contents of the pail prior to the application. Apply each coat of UltraShield AC 10 at a coverage rate of 1.35 kg/m2 to attain a Dry Film Thickness of 0.50mm. A total of 1mm thickness will be achieved in two coats.

For best results, apply the coating with a soft bristled brush or a roller. Corners and joints shall be treated with a fibre mesh to provide added strength to the applied coating. This mesh shall be applied immediately on the 1st coat whilst it is still wet. The application of the second coat shall be carried out after the first coat dries off.

Curing: The coating shall be cured fully for 7 days to achieve its full mechanical properties.

Product Applications

UltraShield AC 10 is used as Waterproofing and protective coating of the following structures:

• Concrete roofs both fiat and sloped
• Terraces, balconies and domes
• Metal profile roofs and asbestos roofs
• Polyurethane foam insulation
• Tunnels, underpasses & concrete bridge decks

UltraShield AC 10 is also used as an anti-carbonation protective coating to exposed concrete structures such as car park decks, etc.
