BG 2000 is a unique Acrylic Waterbased coating which forms an elastomeric waterproofing membrane with excellent bonding characteristics to most building materials including Plywood, OSB, Concrete, Concrete Block, Primed Metal, and many more. This system is specifically designed for TOPPING SLAB UNDERLAYMENT WATERPROOFING applications for most concrete mixes.
On prepped surface (see system instructions) Spray one (1) heavy coat or roll two (2) coats of BG 2000 at a coverage of 60 mil thickness (wet) over area to be waterproofed. Allow to dry for 24 hours.
Method: ASTM C-297 Result: 335 psi (coh/adh)
Method: ASTM D-412 Result: 399 psi
Method: ASTM D-412 Result: 319.3%
Method: 12” Water/Film @ 40mil Result: Pass 96 Hrs/no effect
Method: ASTM C-1306 Result: Pass >45 psi*
*The test procedure only calls for taking the pressure to 45 psi but after passing so easily, test was taken up to 80 psi for 3 hours and surface still did not leak.
A: There are pros and cons to both types of systems, but the main reason a liquid applied membrane like BG2000 is better than a sheet membrane product is because there are zero seams, which are vulnerable points where water can penetrate the surface to the substrate .
A: For applications with at least one exposed side, YES. As long as it is firm to touch and cleaned of mold releases and other impurities. Things like: poured in place retaining walls, freshly built block walls, etc. are perfect applications for BG2000.
A: No, there is no asphalt emulsion in BG2000. Unlike many competitors that claim to be “water-based” but also contain petroleum byproducts, BG2000 is made from 100% Water born acrylics and contains ZERO ASPHALT EMULSION.
A: No, when used in replace of lower end asphalt products consumers see a cost decrease due to its higher coverage rates, lower application time, and clean up time/ease.
A: We recommend embedding a material called Polyester Stitch Bond Fabric into the first coat of BG2000 to act as a reinforcement material for high movement areas. It is an inexpensive way to ensure security and rigidity in areas that may be subject to extreme movement over time.
