Performance Characteristics

  • Maximum protection Passes ASTM E514. 100% no leakage. 94% reduction in water absorption.
  • Long term protection Advanced silicone technology.
  • Environmental protection Mitigates carbonation. Effective chloride ion screen. UV stable. Unaffected by microbiological activity.
  • Breathability Water vapor permeable.
  • Clear result Will not darken or alter light reflection of substrate when properly applied to a dry and untreated surface.
  • Cold weather application Apply to 40°F or above. With 1-hour cure will tolerate sub-freezing temperatures with no effect. Substrate should be frost-free.
  • Increases durability Repels water from penetrating substrate. Most damage to concrete, masonry and stone is due to water entry.
  • Environmentally friendly Water-based technology, low odor, easy handling and clean up.
  • VOC compliant Meets all current VOC emission standards for waterproofing, concrete/masonry sealer.

Surface Preparation

  • Substrate must be clean and free of loose debris, oils, paints, previously applied water repellents, or any substance that can interfere with penetration.
  • Substrate must be dry and frost-free. Moisture in the substrate will reduce penetration.
  • Repoint loose deteriorating mortar; fill all voids and cracks in mortar.
  • Inspect flashing around all openings, caulking, expansion joints and roof components to determine condition and for evidence of water entry. Material will not prevent water entry through cracks or voids in substrate or other building components.

Priming

  • Priming is not necessary.

Mixing

  • Stir until homogenous.

Application

  • Always apply to a test area to ensure Conpro Shield MX will not affect the appearance of the surface due to reaction with previously applied materials or by drawing surface contaminants into the substrate.
  • For best results apply with a low-pressure sprayer using a fan tip.
  • For vertical applications begin at the bottom of the wall and work up generating a 4 – 6 inch rundown.
  • Work to natural breakpoints in the structure.
  • Always keep a wet edge.
  • For horizontal applications begin at one edge and work backwards towards the opposite edge.
  • Apply enough material to saturate the surface, but do not allow material to pond. Brush out ponded material before surrounding area dries.
  • Single coat coverage is suitable for most applications.
  • Multiple applications of Shield MX can be applied either wet on wet or to a cured surface.

Curing

  • Protect from moisture and traffic for 8 hours. Material is fully cured in 14 days.

Clean Up

  • Clean tools, equipment, and adjacent areas with water immediately after application.
  • Clean glass, windows, metal, vinyl, aluminum with mild detergent and water within 72 hours before material can cure.
  • Cured material can be removed mechanically.

Coverage/Yield

  • Coverage will vary depending upon porosity of substrate.
  • Concrete – 125 – 175 ft.²/gal. Concrete block – 40 – 150 ft.²/gal. Brick – 100 – 175 ft.²/gal.

Product Handling

  • Packaging 1, 5 and 54 gallon plastic containers.
  • Shelf Life 18 months in unopened containers. Materials must be agitated thoroughly before each use to ensure homogeneity.
  • Storage Transport and store in cool, clean, dry conditions in unopened containers. Do Not Freeze – This will destroy the Shield MX.

Limitations

  • Ensure adequate air movement to dissipate fumes during application and curing.
  • Use safety glasses and gloves during application.
  • Do not dilute.
  • Do not spray in high winds.
  • Always apply a sample to determine suitability to substrate.
  • Does not prevent water entry through cracks, penetrations, or open joints.
  • Not applicable for below-grade waterproofing.
  • Not recommended for use on bluestone.

Health and Safety

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

First Aid

  • If swallowed contact a medical professional immediately.
  • Do not induce vomiting.
  • In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water.
  • For eye contact, flush immediately with a high volume of water for at least 15 minutes and contact a medical professional.
  • For respiratory problems, remove person to fresh air. If respiratory difficulty persists, contact a medical professional.

Disposal

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

For Cement Based Materials

The gallons per minute volume of a rotor/stator pump is determined by the pump size (i.e. size 6 has a larger capacity than size 3). The pressure capacity of a pump is determined by the number of stages. Thicker materials and longer distances require higher pressure.

How long will Shield MX provide protection?

It depends if the application is horizontal or vertical and what type of exposure the structure is subjected to.  Generally speaking, you should expect 8 to 12 years before reapplying.  A simple test is to stream water onto the treated surface.  If it is still beading water there is no need to reapply.

Is the Rilem tube an effective test for waterproofing?

The Rilem tube is an easy and generally effective test to determine the porosity of a substrate by testing the substrate prior to applying a water repellent and then again after it has been applied.  In the case of Shield MX, wait for two weeks to test so that it has fully cured.  Mark the areas tested to achieve reproduceable results.

What makes Shield MX unique?

Shield MX is a proprietary silane/siloxane which has a very small molecule resulting in deeper penetration.  Shield MX will not etch most glass (always test a sample), will not alter the color or light reflection of the substrate, and can be applied a 40⁰F as long as it has one hour to cure before temperature drops.
