PENOSIL
Premium AquaBrake Fiber waterproofing compound

VALUES

• Water-based, does not emit odour or harmful compounds.
• A colour change indicates drying.
• Fibres contained in the compound bridge cracks up to 1.5 mm wide in the substrate.

• Facilitates insulation of complicated structural elements such as corners and pipe penetration points.
• Waterproof when cured, protects the structures of buildings from harmful impact caused by water.
• Can be applied straight from the plastic container with a paint roller or brush.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Walls: First, cover the joints and corners, connection points, screw heads in the wall substrate or construction boards and around wall penetrations with PENOSIL Premium AquaBrake Fiber. In the corners, attach at least 20 cm of mesh tape such as AquaBrake Fabric on a fresh waterproofing compound (in the wall and floor connection corners and the room inner corners the mesh tape should be applied to substrates in even portions), and on joints at least 10 cm of mesh tape. Fix the
mesh tape on the substrate. For penetrations and openings on the wall, mesh tape with a diameter at least 3 times bigger than the opening should be used. Cut a hole in the mesh tape 4-5 mm smaller than the tube diameter on the wall, so that after application the edge of the fabric would cover the tube by 3-5 mm. Apply the mesh tape on a fresh waterproofing compound and fix it to the surface. Then cover the entire mesh tape with a mastic. Make sure that the mesh tape is immersed in the waterproofing compound completely.

Finally use a paint roller to apply AquaBrake Fiber over the entire waterproofed surface. When the waterproofing compound has dried in around 2 h and changed in colour, you can start to apply
the next coating (crosswise to the first layer).

Floors: First, cover the joints and corners, connection points, screw heads in the floor substrate and around floor traps with PENOSIL Premium AquaBrake Fiber. In the corners, attach at least 20 cm of mesh tape such as PENOSIL Premium AquaBrake Fabric on a fresh waterproofing compound (in the wall and floor connection corners and the room inner corners the mesh tape should be applied to substrates in even portions), and on joints at least 10 cm wide. Fix the mesh tape on the substrate. For hydroisolation works connected with floor trap installation, the trap manufacturer’s instructions must be followed. For floor penetrations, mesh tape with a diameter at least 3 times bigger than the opening should be used. Cut a hole in the mesh tape 4-5 mm smaller than the tube diameter on the
floor, so that after application the edge of the fabric would cover the tube by 3-5 mm. Apply the mesh tape on a fresh waterproofing compound and fix it to the surface. Then cover the entire mesh tape with a mastic. Make sure that the mesh tape has immersed in the waterproofing compound completely.

Finally use a paint roller to apply PENOSIL Premium AquaBrake Fiber over the entire waterproofed surface. When the waterproofing compound has dried in around 2 h and changed in colour, you can start to apply the next coating (crosswise to the first layer).

TIPS

• Clean the substrate of all dust, loose parts, grease and anything else that could impede the adhesion of the waterproofing compound. Concrete and surfaces levelled with cement should be primed with a suitable primer, for example with PENOSIL Premium BetPrimer in ratio 1:5 with water.
• Spread PENOSIL Premium AquaBrake Fiber on a finally dried substrate, using a paintbrush, cleaning brush or a paint roll. Requires application in two layers, with the second layer applied crosswise to the first layer. In the corners of the room and around pipe penetration points, traps, etc. it is recommended to use special reinforcement tape and glands or reinforcement textile with the compound.
• The final drying time of the coatings is 6-12 hours, depending on the temperature and humidity. Check that the dried waterproofing compound contains no holes. The quality of waterproofing is verified before starting with the tiling works. The thickness of the dried waterproofing compound should be approx. 0,4 mm on walls, 0,5 mm on the floor and 1,5 mm around traps. After final drying you can start installing the tiling.

LIMITATIONS

• Not suitable for final coating, must be covered.
