Technical Specification

Application

Stir well before use. Do not apply if rain is expected within 24 hours. Apply the material using a brush or roller. A second coat is applied at the right angle after the first coat is dry. It is recommended to apply 2 coats of EXCEL AquaFlex to get a dry film thickness of 1mm. Multiple coats can be applied to achieve higher thickness. Do not apply greater than 500μm in a single application. Embed glass fiber mesh around all corner joints, fillets, pipe penetration, pipes, over cracks, drains, and where substantial movement is anticipated, lay fiberglass mesh in the wet first coat before the application of subsequent coats.

Surface Preparation

Surfaces must be dry and free from oil, dust, dirt, grease, and loose materials. The substrate should be firm, in case of gaps and cracks fill with suitable polysulphide sealant and ensure the surface is level. Excel AquaFlex is a self-priming roof coating. An additional primer is not required. Curing It requires 24 hours to dry in between 2 coats and 48 hours of curing is adequate for foot traffic. Low temperature and high humidity will slow down the curing process. 7 days are required for a full cure. In case of expected rains, do not apply EXCEL AquaFlex. Ensure curing is complete before laying thermal insulation board mechanical protection and other coverings.

PROTECTION FROM MECHANICAL DAMAGE

The cured membrane could be damaged by sharp objects and should be protected against damage and site abuse by other trades. Terminates the edge of the roof coating securely to avoid peeling off. Protect the coating with cement screed in heavy traffic areas. This should be done after 48 hours of curing. HEALTH AND SAFETY Eyes should be protected from splashes by wearing goggles.
