Elastideck

Performance Characteristics

• 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.

Product Handling

• 3.5 gallon plastic pail contains 12.5 lbs. of powder and 1-1/4 gallons of admix.

• 18 months when properly stored.

• Transport and store in cool, clean, dry conditions in unopened containers.
• High temperature or high humidity will reduce shelf life.
• Protect from freezing.

Limitations

• Do not apply unless substrate and ambient temperature can be maintained at a minimum of 45°F for 24 hours. Refer to ACI Cold Weather Application Guidelines.
• Protect application from precipitation and high wind for at least 8 hours.
• Do not place rubber mats or equivalent on Elastideck for 14 days.
• Do not add water.
• Do not re-temper, polymer modified materials.
• Avoid overworking material during placement.

Health and Safety

• Product is alkaline.
• Do not ingest.
• Avoid breathing dust.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• Refer to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for additional information.

First Aid

• In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
• For eye contact, flush with a high volume of water for at least 15 minutes and contact a medical professional.
• For respiratory problems, remove person to fresh air.

Disposal

• Dispose of material in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
