SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE
DUCOAT 65 is tested as per ASTM D 2939 and other relevant International Standards.
QUALITY ASSURANCE AND WARRANTY
Duproof is ISO 9001 Quality Assured Company and DUCOAT 65 carries a material warranty against any manufacturing defects.
USES- Damp proofing and protective coating for most building construction materials such as concrete, asphalt, cement and modified bitumen sheet membranes.
- Protective layer for concrete foundations, vertical walls and columns as well as to prevent corrosion on pipes and other various types of surfaces.
METHOD OF APPLICATION
Substrate Preparation
- All substrate must be clean, free from dirt, dust, soil, grease, oil and other loose particles. Substrates that are very dry should be applied with a penetrative coating of DUPRIME E. If the concrete is very dry dampen first with water.
- Stir the emulsion thoroughly if stored for a long time.
Application System on Porous substrate (Concrete Structure)
- Prime the surface with water based primer DUPRIME E and allow the primer to dry completely (6-8 hours).
- Apply a minimum 2 coat by brush or spray equipment.
- The second coat is applied when the first coat has completely dried.
- Apply each coat at a right angle to the previous coat to achieve good coverage and uniformity.
- A third coat is required for very porous substrate.
- Drying time is 1-4 hours under normal conditions. Under damp and cold conditions it is recommended to allow 6 hours between successive coats.
Emulsified Bitumen is recommended to be applied at temperatures above 5°C.
