BETEC™ FLX 110

Product Description

BETEC FLX 110 is a unique, highly flexible, high performance one- part latex modified cement waterproofing membrane engineered for a range of positive and negative uses.

Uses

BETEC FLX 110 may be used for non-moving retaining walls, landscape areas, water tanks, basements, lift pits and general waterproofing.

BETEC FLX 110 has excellent resistance to soil conditions and saline conditions. It is suited to cementitious substrates, in-situ or pre-cast concrete, render, masonry as well as PALC lightweight block and brick.

Features

• Non-Toxic, low VOC, Green Star compliant
• One component, add water, easy to use
• Used for both positive and negative waterproofing
• Anti-Efflorescence Sealer – used over tile bed on decks and in wet areas to prevent calcium staining
• Withstands immersion and 60m water head pressure
• Excellent flexibility and crack bridging
• Suitable for Potable Water

Preparation

Surfaces are to be sound, free from existing coatings and contaminants – water-blast and skim concrete tank walls. Repair surface defects with CHEMBOND™ modified mortar. Fill joints, cracks and form fillets with SILCOR^®  LM PU sealant. Install 35mm bond breaker tape to cracks, joints, corners as required for Class II membrane.

NOTE: In water tanks use 1.5mm x 200mm bandage of NEWFLEX^™ Grey and Reinforcing PE Fabric to all internal corners.

Mixing

• Use all appropriate PPE, rubber gloves and eye protection during use and application.
• Put 15kg powder in a clean container, add 4-5 litres water, mix with electric drill - allow to stand 5 minutes, re-mix and use. Adjust water to suit application. Excess water will reduce strength and delay set time.
• Do NOT re-work any partially set material – discard it.

Typical Properties

Application

Substrate may be either dampened with water (no free or ponded water present) or pre-primed with CHEMBOND^™ slurry 1:1:1:1, sand:cement:CHEMBOND^™:water.

Apply the mixed BBETEC FLX 110 slurry by broad soft brush, roller or broom in at least 2 layers, each in a cross direction, one to the other.
