HIGH PERFORMANCE POLYMER MODIFIED CEMENTITIOUS COATING

Description
UltraTech Hi Flex is a two component acrylic cementitious coating system for waterproofing
of wet areas and
any water retaining structures water features. It provides strong bonding and
excellent resistance to hydrostatic water pressure by forming a highly elastic seamless
coating over the applied
concrete surfaces.

Areas of Application
• Any concrete, cement or masonry surface that is subject to moisture ingress.
• Swimming pools, water features, and water tanks.
• Flat and sloped roofs and terraces, toilets, balconies, planters, etc.

Features & Benefits

• Seamless, impervious membrane.
• Elastomeric.
• High film build-up.
• Excellent adhesion to concrete and masonry substrates.
• Low VOC.
• Easily applied by brush, roller, or trowel.
• Can be applied on damp surfaces.

Method of Application

1. SURFACE PREPARATION
• The surface of application must be thoroughly prepared by mechanical means to remove
all loose particles,
laitance, etc.
• Oil and grease, if any, must be de-greased with suitable solvents. It must then be washed
off with a jet of water
and brought to a touch-dry state.
• Any surface undulations, cracks, and crevices must be duly filled or repaired with cement
sand mortar mixed
with latex polymers such as UltraTech Pidicrete URP.
• All vertical upstands and junctions/corners are to be provided with a 45° fillet using
Polymer Modified Mortar (PMM),
mixed with UltraTech Pidicrete URP all around the periphery of the junction.
• Substrate must be in a "Saturated Surface Dry" (SSD) condition (damp, without standing
water) prior
to application.
2. MIXING
• Using a slow-speed mechanical mixer and a clean suitable mixing vessel, slowly add the
powder component to
the liquid polymer and stir until a smooth and homogeneous slurry is achieved.
• Allow the mixed slurry to stand for 5–10 minutes before use.
• Do not dilute with water.

3. WATERPROOFING TREATMENT OF TOILETS:

• All pipe inserts or sanitary fittings should have been fitted and grouted with suitable
products from the UltraTech. range well before taking up the application.
• The surface of application must be pre-wetted thoroughly with water and brought to a
touch-dry state. Take up the first coat application with a stiff nylon brush. Work well into
the substrate to ensure that all small undulations are completely filled with the coating.
• 6 to 8 hrs after completion of the first coat, take up the second coat application in a
direction perpendicular to the first.
• Complete the application and leave to air cure for 3–5 days. A moist hessian cloth can be
kept over the coated
surface to protect it from direct sunlight. In case of bathrooms and internal areas, leave the
coating
without water curing for 3–5 days at least.
• For vertical walls in bathrooms ensure internal plaster is sound, levelled, and mixed with
UltraTech Pidiproof LW+.
Apply 2 coats of UltraTech Flex over the shower area and sprinkle coarse quartz sand while
the second
coat is still wet or apply a spatter dash bond coat to provide key for subsequent tile
adhesive materials.

4. WATERPROOFING OF ROOFS AND WATER TANKS

• General waterproofing if applied in areas exposed to foot traffic, must be protected with a
screed overlay
during the application itself.
• When coating for internal walls of water tanks, sprinkle coarse sand after the second coat
on wet coating to
facilitate anchoring for the upcoming protection plaster.

5. WATERPROOFING OF SWIMMING POOLS

• Removing and cleaning loose particles of the surface upto top of the pool.

• After cleaning filling the water under the pool for 4 days for water testing. If identify any
leakage ittreated by cementitious nozzle grouting.
• After sealed leakages apply UltraTech Hi Flex in 3 coats, each coat in a perpendicular
direction to the previous one at 6–8 hour
intervals at 3 Kg/m² coverage.
• Extend the coating up to the full height of internal RCC walls. While the third coat is still
wet and tacky sprinkle
coarse sand over the surface to make it rough and provide a mechanical key for plastering.
BORE PACKING:

•Clean the exposed grooves or bore holes inside surface up to dustless through air blower.

•Pipes to be placed/inserted in the core cut areas, shall be aligned properly prior to bore
packing as suggest by Engineer.

•Roughening the inside surface of the bore hole and outer surface of pipes.

•Apply primer by SBR Latex over core cut area for proper bonding and after priming core
cut area shall be filled with Free flow, high strength, non-shrink, cementitious precision
grout or High performance non-shrink cementitious microconcrete by ULTRATECH over
the core area.

NOZZEL GROUTING :

Nozzle Fixing:-

Drilling holes of 12mm to 16mm dia by electric drill machine at hole to hole distance 6inch
as per site condition, thickness of wall in order to fix the nozzle (packer) by using quick
setting Plug/micro concrete. Work includes drilling, fixing packers, surface sealing (if
required), injection with suitable pump, and closing ports after completion.

Cementitious Grouting:-

Injection grouting in concrete cracks, construction joints, and honeycombs using

cementitious injection grout to arrest leakage and improve waterproofing. Providing &
injecting cementitious material of admixture mixing with cement and water inject in to
treated crack to from a permanent seal joint with Pressure grouting machine to arrest the
under grout leakages include drilling, nozzle fixing & including Cost of man power up to
finishing and furnishing.

Note: Its only work on concrete surface.

• Horizontal Expansion joint Treatment with Expansion Joint Tape:-

a. Cutting and expose the existing expansion joints ‘V’ grooves by mechanical cutter.

b. Removing the filler board and thermocol middle of expansion joints.

c. Cleaning the expansion joint grooves by air blower and ware brushing both side of
expansion joints.

d. Providing and fixing Expansion Joint Tape(200mm/150mm x 1mm) with Nitobond

PC40 adhesive over the expansion joints after the surface preparation to finishing and
furnishing.

• Vertical Expansion joint Treatment with Polysulphide Sealant :-

a. Cutting and expose the existing expansion joints ‘V’ grooves by mechanical cutter.
b. Removing the filler board and tharmocol middle of expansion joints.

c. Cleaning the expansion joint grooves by air blower and ware brushing both side of
expansion joints.

d. After cleaning pushing Polysulphide Sealants Foam Round Shape Rods Backer Rod
middle of the expansion joints.

e. Filling and sealing expansion joints grooves by two component Polysulphide sealant
over the backer rod lapping with both side of expansion joints.

• Horizontal Expansion Joint Treatment Cover with Holler:-

After air drying the existing expansion joint treatment with expansion joint tape, casting
Micro concrete over both sides of the expansion joint tape Surface 300 mm width & 150 mm
height to down 50 mm each and place 10 mm thermocol middle of the Micro concrete to
maintain a groove after water curing removing the thermocol up to 25mm depth and filling
& sealing with Polyurethane sealant after inserting 12mm flexible backer rod and priming
up to finishing.

• Vertical Expansion Joint Treatment Cover with Aluminum:-

After drying existing expansion joint treatment fixing the aluminum sheet 1.5MM to 2MM
thickness with S.S. screw through drilling and inserting PVC plug up to finishing, over the
above treatment for better protection. (All the aluminums cutted by laser)
Precautions & Limitations
• Do not add water to UltraTech Hi Flex during application.
• UltraTech Hi Flex needs at least 3–5 days for air curing. Water cure the coating by placing
moist hessian cloth,
if the coating is exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not cure by flooding with water or conduct any ponding test before it gets completely
cured.
• Concrete & masonry surfaces must be cured for 28 days before application.
• Overlay of a cementitious screed must be done within 24 to 48 hrs after curing.
• For Bathrooms/Wet areas, the waterproofing coating should be done on a levelled surface
and
not directly over bricks/blocks walls. The brick/block surface and joints should be levelled
with a thin coat of
polymer modified mortar. The concealed plumbing/electrical conduits area should be
cleaned and packed
appropriately with Polymer Modified Mortar.
