Basecrete liquid 5 gallon pail

FLEXIBLE WATERPROOF BONDCOAT

Basecrete is a high-performance, industry-leading flexible waterproofing membrane and bond coat. A proprietary blend of polymers and specialized content providing unmatched strength and adhesion yet remains flexible to absorb movement in the underlying concrete structure. The ideal solution to waterproof, protect and repair any concrete structure including swimming pool foundations, spas, fountains, and commercial spaces such as parking garages and factory floors.

NOTE: Each kit covers 450 sqft. The manufacturer strongly suggests 2 coats for an effective waterproofing application.

***Use with Basecrete Intercept (concrete densifier) for complete waterproofing system in swimming pools, spas, fountains and other wet area applications***

Key Advantages

• High performance: PSI, Adhesion, Tensile Strength, Shear Bond and Flexibility

• Easy Application: Roll It, Trowel It, Spray It, Squeegee It

• Made in the USA

Basecrete is a waterproofing bondcoat / underlayment / micro topping for use in all applications where a solid and durable waterproof barrier is required. Basecrete will adhere to most surfaces, is resistant to most chemicals and corrosive agents and can withstand a high degree of movement while maintaining its integrity. Basecrete is a liquid and compound mix design available in 1.75 gal & 5 gal pails and 50 lb bags. Basecrete is job site ready.

APPLICATION METHODS

A. Tools: Basecrete can be applied by Trowel, Roller (3/4” nap), Brush, Squeegee or Spray

B. Thickness: Apply Basecrete in two (2) layers, one vertically, one horizontally. Each layer should be 1/16” thick for a total of 1/8” thickness to achieve a waterproof bond coat. Second layer can be applied 24 hours after the first coat. *Ambient temperature, Indoor/Outdoor will extend or accelerate cure times.

C. Special Applications: Basecrete can be built up in 2” increments and feather edge.

D. For best results allow 24 cure times between coats.

COVERAGE

Coverage is approximate for one coat. Slump can be adjusted to accommodate specific job requirements by adjusting the liquid of the compound – do not add water to the mix.

A. Trowel… 1 gallon & 1 x 50 lb bag = 40–50 sq ft @ 1/8”

B. Roller… 5 gallons & 3 x 50 lb bags = 400–450 sq ft @ 25–30 mil

C. Squeegee… 5 gallons & 3 x 50 lb bags = 250–275 sq ft @ 40 mil

D. Spray… 5 gallons & 2 x 50 lb bags = 375–450 sq ft @ 10–30 mil

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

A. Initial inspection – Inspect job site. Determine if any previous material used is incompatible with Basecrete.

B. Preparing site – Remove all previous material and any loose debris. Check and repair any cracks or voids with Basecrete repair mortar. Once the site is clean and clear of any old material, loose debris, cracks etc., pressure wash for final preparation. Protect adjacent areas to prevent material from going beyond designated site.

C. Substrate surface preparation – Begin with a SSD (Saturated Surface Dry) substrate that is clearly damp below the immediate surface, has no standing water and has a surface that is showing no signs of a “film” of water on the surface. Ideally the concrete will be clearly damp (typically much darker than dry concrete) but the surface will have no water present and will be showing “signs” of drying.
