CHEMSPRAY™ 690
Pure polyurea, spray-applied waterproofing membrane
Product Description
Two-part, fast-curing, pure polyurea, spray-applied elastomeric coating. It provides a premium quality, high-build, long life protective coating to concrete & metal substrates on major civil, infrastructure and commercial construction projects. Formulated using the latest polyurea technology, it forms an impenetrable barrier that is resistant to water, chemicals, sewage and wear.
Product Advantages
- Simple application – fast cure
- Potable-water certified
- Suitable for continuous immersion
- Long-life – permanently flexible
- Abrasion and chemical resistance
- Total adhesion – no water tracking
- Resistant to sewage gases – H2S, H2SO4 etc
- Resists reflection cracking in concrete
- Suitable for continuous immersion in demineralised, fresh and salt waters plus desalination permeate
Uses
CHEMSPRAY™ 690 elastomer system is ideally suited for most areas of protective coating, lining and waterproofing in civil and commercial applications.
Used as a waterproof and highly chemical-resistant barrier on:
- Sewage and water treatment plants
- Desalination plants
- Potable-water containment
- Chlorinated swimming lagoons
- Tunnels
- Bridge-decks
- Chemical process facilities
It provides lasting protection to plant room floors, chemical storage and secondary containment areas.
Features
CHEMSPRAY™ 690 contains no TDI, MOCA, bitumen or tar-based compounds. Being polyurea, it has good resistance to humidity during application and forms a tough, bubble-free, impermeable coating.
CHEMSPRAY™ 690 is a simple 100:100 by volume mix ratio system that applies with good flow out and rapid cure, resulting in a smooth, even coating finish that can be walked on in seconds.
The cured elastomer has high substrate adhesion plus excellent resistance to tear, puncture, chemicals, water and abrasion. Unlike rigid coating materials such as epoxies, vinyl ester, etc., CHEMSPRAY™ 690 resists post-application reflection cracking in concrete substrates.
Surface Preparation
See project specific Application Method Statement for detailed requirements. Generally, for concrete substrates use wet, wet- abrasive or dry-abrasive blasting to remove laitance, etc. Patch defects using suitable fairing compound.
Fill all joints, cracks, gaps and form angle fillets in internal corners or penetrations with SILCOR® LM PU Sealant.
Blast or mechanically clean steel substrates to a 70 to 90µm surface profile or Class 2 1/2 white metal finish using Speed Blast Garnet, steel shot or similar media. Prime with EPOCOTE™ F100W at 0.3kg/ m2 or CHEMSPRAYTM Primer 117 at minimum 0.3 kg/m2 (0.3 litre/ m2) dependent on substrate condition. Allow to dry approximately 0.5 to 3 hours depending on ambient conditions and surface porosity.

Application Equipment
CHEMSPRAY™ 690 is designed for application through high- pressure, plural component spray equipment capable of processing polyurea coatings. Suitable equipment includes Graco Reactor E-XP2 or H-XP2 machinery fitted with high output heaters, heated lines and Graco Fusion Air Purge or Fusion CS impingement mix spray guns. Equipment should also be fitted with a drum mounted agitator for the polyamine component, material recirculation and drum mounted desiccant driers on both the polyamine and isocyanate components. CHEMSPRAY™ 690 polyamine component must be agitated before and during use. The isocyanate component does not require agitation.
Typical machine spray settings required for CHEMSPRAY™ 690 application are:
Material Temperature | 20°C to 25°C |
Main Heater Temperature | 60°C to 70°C Line Heater |
Temperature | 60°C to 70°C |
Spray Pressure | 2500 to 2800 psi |
Round pattern spray gun mix chambers will minimise overspray produced considerably.
Application Guidelines
Substrate
Substrates must be clean, dry, and free of curing compounds, oil, grease, solvent or other contaminants. Moisture content of concrete must be below 5%.
Environmental Conditions
The following conditions must be achieved prior to and maintained during CHEMSPRAY™ 690 application.
Ambient Temperature | 4°C to 45°C |
Substrate Temperature | 5°C to 60°C |
Relative Humidity | 85% maximum |
Dew Point | 3°C below substrate |
Approximate Wind Speed 10 knots maximum |
Application
CHEMSPRAY™ 690 is typically applied at a minimum Dry Film Thickness (DFT) of 3mm in one or more passes. Required application rates for specific projects may be higher or lower, dependent on structural design, area of application, project specification and product warranty required.
Please contact your local GCP representative or the GCP Technical Department for information specific to your project estimating requirements.
Surfacing
Where colour stability is required in sun-exposed applications, apply our aliphatic, UV-stable topcoat, Ultraure™ A-80 Non-Slip Topcoat, where colour stable protection and a non¬slip finish is required.
Coverage
3.3kg (3.0 litre) of CHEMSPRAY™ 690 system provides coverage of 1m2 at 3.0 mm coating thickness. Allow for processing losses, over spray, etc – typically 10% or greater depending on surface and ambient conditions.
