Elastideck is a two-component product that when applied forms a flexible cement membrane. Elastideck is available in 14 standard colors. To freshen the surface after years of service simply apply Super Color Stain.
Where to use:
Decorative coating for balconies, walkways, driveways, planters, and parapets.How to apply:
Roller or squeegee applied. Additional InformationMinimize InformationPerformance Characteristics
Flexible- Able to bridge minor cracking.
- Positive side waterproofing membrane requires two coats.
- Available in 14 colors to complement surroundings.
- Resistant to weathering action, excellent freeze/thaw stability and abrasion resistance.
- Resistant to deicing salts, chloride, and chemical attack, and environmental pollution.
- Will not cause damage to structure by restricting moisture vapor flow. Ideal for slab-on- grade.
- Pre-measured, pigmented liquid with powder in one container for consistent performance.
Surface Preparation
- Remove loose and deteriorated material, laitance, dirt, dust, oil and any surface contaminants that will inhibit proper bond.
- Remove a minimum 1/16 inch of surface (CSP 5) by abrasive blasting, steel shotblasting, scarifying, needle-scaling or high pressure water.
- Avoid bruising or micro cracking during surface preparation. Refer to ICRI Surface Preparation Guide 03732.
- Apply Conpro Start where a consolidant is of benefit.
- Saturate substrate with clean water, (saturated surface dry/SSD),with no standing water during Priming or Application.
Priming
- No priming is required under normal circumstances.
Mixing
- Mechanically mix using a low speed drill (400 – 600 rpm) and mixing paddle or mortar mixer.
- Thoroughly shake Elastideck admix to disperse the pigment.
- Pour Elastideck admix into a clean mixing vessel and slowly add all of the powder.
- For smaller batches, the proper mix ratio is 1 part powder to 1 part admix.
- Mix continuously for 3 minutes to a uniform, lump-free consistency.
- Do not over mix, as this will entrain excess air.
- Do not re-temper.
- Elastideck has a pot life of 10 – 15 minutes. For best results, pre-plan work to be within pot life.
Application
- At the time of application, surfaces should be saturated surface dry (SSD) but hold no standing water.
- Clean and pre-stripe non-structural cracks (up to 1/16 inch) with one 4 inch wide, 50 mils. application of material.
- Dynamic cracks, joints and transitions (wall-to-slab) must be properly detailed with a closed cell backer rod and polyurethane sealant. Refer to SWRI Sealants, The Professionals’ Guide.
- Apply a 50 mils. coat over the entire surface with a heavy nap roller, sponge float, squeegee or spray.
- Option: Apply two 30 mils coats using a 1/2” nap roller for waterproofing, longer service life and more consistent texture.
- Work material into substrate to promote proper adhesion.
- Do not exceed 60 mils. per coat.
- Do not overwork the finish.
- Elastideck must cure to a point that it will accept light foot traffic prior to application of Super Color Stain (approximately 24 hours @ 70°F and 50°RH).
- Apply Super Color Stain in the same color as Elastideck to provide added protection, color uniformity and stain resistance.
Curing
- Protect repair from direct sunlight, wind, rain and frost during curing period.
Clean Up
- Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use.
- Cured material must be removed mechanically.
Coverage/Yield
- 80 ft.²/25 lbs. kit per coat @ 50 mils.
