SURFACE PREPARATION
- Substrate must be structurally sound, free from grease, oil, paint, dirt, dust, sealers, laitance, curing compounds, and any other foreign material which may prevent proper bonding.
- When applying to cementitous surface, that surface must be fully cured.
- Concrete slabs and mortar beds should have a coarse finish to assist in bonding.
- When applying Lightweight Cement the substrate must have a minimum of 2,000 psi compressive strength. Must be dry and properly cured.
- If cracks are present, fill with quick setting, non-shrinking mortar prior to application of GREEN BARRIER.
- For applications over concrete that is less than 28 days old, the use of Multicoat’s Vapor Shield is recommend to speed the curing and installation process and to help reduce negative side pressure.
MIXING
- Hand stir GREEN BARRIER until a uniform green color is present.
APPLICATION
While wet, GREEN BARRIER is a light green color. Once applied the dark green color will be your indicator that the material has dried and is ready for the next phase. The color change may take 1 to 2 hours to occur Application is achieved by using a 3/4” nap roller. In all corners, apply a generous amount of GREEN BARRIER a minimum of 8” in both directions and immediately embed and smooth out Multicoat’s stich bond polyester fabric mesh to create a flashing detail. Let this dry for several minutes then apply another saturating coat over top to completely cove the fabric and allow to dry to a dark green color. The gap in the corners should not be greater than 1/16”. If greater than 1/16”, pre fill with a non shrinking fast setting mortar. Drains should have the clamp ring with open weep holes for thin set applications. Apply GREEN BARRIER to the bottom of the flange, and the flange should be fully supported with no movement and should be level with the plane of the floor.
Apply GREEN BARRIER around the drain and immediately embed a piece of 12” x 12” stitch bond polyester fabric into the wet material and insure it does not cover the weep holes. Allow to dry a few minutes and apply another coat over the mesh area. The use of a silicone caulk around the flange where it makes contact with the membrane is recommended. After the corners and drain detail are dry, apply a full coverage coat over the entire area, achieving a mil coverage of at least 45 mils. Once fully dry (dark green color is your indicator) inspect for pin holes or thin areas and apply a second coat at a right angle to the first coat. When small gaps are present, such as the gap between cement board, use the same polyester fabric to span this joint. Always follow all local building codes when applying this product.

WARRANTY SHEET >
Multicoat Corporation offers a special 5-year Limited Materials Warranty to Trained and Certified Applicators. This Limited Warranty (effective upon date of purchase) protects the Applicator against delamination problems with all Multicoat systems, as well as water intrusion of Multicoat’s Waterproofing System, provided:
1. Multicoat system has been properly applied by a certified applicator.
2. Problem is determined to be due to defect of Multicoat Corporation’s products.
3. Applicator has prepared and filed the required Warranty Information Form(s) with Multicoat Products, Inc. covering the specific customer job(s).
NOTE:
Warranty is not applicable if there is movement or cracking of the underlying base and/or the weight bearing cement covering of the waterproofing membrane.
Failure to adhere to good construction and workmanship practices based on industry standard construction, means, methods, sequences and techniques could result in delamination, de-bonding and water intrusion for which Multicoat will not be responsible.
The end user must look to the Certified Applicator for satisfaction if any problem develops with the Multicoat system covered by the warranty. Multicoat suggests that the customer:
1. Use only a licensed contractor in good standing (fully bonded).
2. Make certain that the applicator has been certified by Multicoat, prior to work
commencing or certification while on the job. A simple phone call to Multicoat is sufficient to determine if an applicator is certified and if such certification is in
good standing.
In the event that it is determined that the Applicator failed to install the system(s) in accordance with Multicoat’s “instructions for use” or “specifications”, the warranty is void. See specific warranty information below.
