SLATEX BELOW GRADE SYSTEM

I. DESCRIPTION and SCOPE

The MULTICOAT SLATEX BELOW GRADE Waterproofing System is a multilayer seamless coating consisting of a waterproofing membrane protected by an overcoat of a Synthetic resin modified cementitious material.

It can be applied to walls or foundations constructed of concrete block, poured in place concrete, slumpstone, polyfoam sheathing, etc.

The scope of this specification is to describe the materials and installation procedures for the SLATEX BELOW GRADE Waterproofing System.

1. Elastomeric Waterproofing Membrane

MULASTICOAT ® as manufactured by MULTICOAT CORPORATION

Shall be a modified waterbased synthetic latex whose cured physical properties shall meet or exceed the following test criteria...

2. Cementitious Protective Coating

SCRATCH KOTE 2000 as manufactured by MULTICOAT CORPORATION.

Shall be a synthetic latex modified cementitous material, furnished in dry form, mixed with potable water at job site in necessary proportions to obtain desired consistency for vertical wall, rolled or spray application.

Physical properties of the cured material shall meet or exceed the following test criteria:

1. All surfaces must be structurally sound and free of grease, oil, paint, dirt, dust, sealers, laitence, concrete curing compounds and other foreign materials which may prevent proper bonding of MULASTICOAT ®.

2. Cracks must be repaired and all holes, voids, bee hives, etc. must be filled with suitable mortar or grout. They should be allowed to cure and scraped even with surface prior to application of MULASTICOAT ®.

3. Surface should be dry to touch prior to MULASTICOAT ® application.

1. MULASTICOAT ®

A. Apply first coat of MULASTICOAT ® firmly with a ¾" to 1 ¼" nap roller. Cover entire surface area, including footing, extending to a minimum of 6" above grade line. Allow to dry a minimum of 2 hours prior to second coat application.

B. Apply second coat (crisscrossed) with airless sprayer or roller cover. Be sure all pin-holes, voids, etc. are completely covered. Allow to dry a minimum of 24 hours.

NOTE: Coverage, two (2) coats. 40-50 sq. ft. per gallon.

2. SCRATCH KOTE 2000 Protective Coating

A. Clean MULASTICOAT ® surface with damp sponge.

B. Apply finish coat of SCRATCH KOTE 2000 with 1 ¼" roller cover. SCRATCH KOTE 2000 vigorously field mixed with potable (clean) water to thoroughly disperse solids in approximate amount of 1 ¼ to 1 ½ gals per 65 lb. bag. Use MULTICOAT special mixing paddle, and margin trowel to clear vessel walls. Adjust consistency so applied material does not slump or stick to roller.

C. One hour after application is complete, check to make sure MULASTICOAT ® is completely covered (no blue should show). Allow 24 hours before back filling. DRAINAGE SYSTEM SHOULD BE INSTALLED BEFORE BACK FILLING.

3. PRECAUTIONS

A. Entire substrate and waterproofing covering should be in accordance with all applicable building codes.

B. New concrete should be aged a minimum of 10-20 days after pouring and at least 2 days after form removal before commencing applications.

Do not apply components of SLATEX SYSTEM when substrate surface temperature is below 50oF, above 100oF, if ambient temperature is below 50oF and falling, over 100oF and expected rise, or if precipitation is expected within a 24 hours period.
