FAIRCOAT DAMPPROOF – DAMPPROOF COATING FOR INTERNAL WALLS, CEILINGS AND RCC WATER TANKS

Why do we need water proofing? There is a simple answer to this.
Water proofing is required to stop the ingress of water in the structure making it water resistant. It acts as a protective coating from other elements as well such as oil and grease, chemical attacks, acid rain etc. The dual purpose of Faircoat Damproof allows us to achieve both our purposes of waterproofing and protective coating.

Faircoat Dampproof is best suited when used to protect the internal wall, ceilings etc from all possible attacks of dampness, leakage to the structure & also when you need an antimicrobial coating. It is widely used to prevent any leakage of oil and chemicals from bund areas where large quantity of such harmful substance is stored. We all have come across external walls where graffiti art is done which is extremely difficult to remove. Faircoat Damproof is the absolute solution, as it is easily cleanable and hygienic. Hence, maintaining the clean look of the structure.
Being environmental friendly and of very low odour is it easy to apply.

Faircoat Dampproof is a 2 component material off white colour material. The Base and hardener is required to be mixed using a mechanical tool. The component can be thinned down by adding water to it, not more than 20-30% by volume of total material. To make the surface more even and to achieve a putty like finish add white cement by 20-30%.

Before applying Faircoat Dampproof to the structure it is necessary to make sure that the substrate is completely free from any kind of contamination such as oil, grease, paint etc. After the surface cleaning is complete, it is required to fill all the hole on the substrate cause by air trapped on the face of the formwork during pouring or any kind of pin holes present using Fairscreed VF (a concrete repair compound).

Minimum two coats are required to achieve the desired results. The pot life of Faircoat Dampproof is 80 minutes at 20ºC. Apply the first coat using a spray (airless), brush or roller. After the application of first coat to achieve a non slip finish spread silica sand on the wet surface and let the surface dry for a minimum of 18 hours before applying 2nd coat. The overall thickness of both the coats shall be 200-250 micron, with and approximate coverage of 0.20 – 0.25kg/m2.
In case the substrate is in damp condition a priming material such as Safecore WB primer shall be applied before the application of 1st coat of Faircoat Dampproof.

Salient Features:
• Provides excellent resistance to water, oil , grease and other solvents etc
• Odourless material
• It is Non flammable, Non toxic and Non- Hazardous
• It is easily cleanable and possesses anti fungal properties
• It can be applied on both dry and damp surfaces
• Have good adhesion to concrete

Polyurethane Coating for Protecting Multistory Buildings

Waterproofing is a fundamental construction requirement. Modern buildings are waterproof, using membranes and coatings to protect the integrity of the structure. However, every year a large number of households and commercial premises report damage and problems that may be associated with inadequate waterproofing of buildings. If you do not stop the penetration of water on time, it will cause serious damage to the building. The service life of a structure depends on its stability, and this is what affects the ingress of water. Therefore, the waterproofing of the building is very important, and in recent times more attention has been paid to it.
Polyurethane is a rather popular choice for waterproof coatings due to its ease of installation. Unlike other waterproofing systems, polyurethane application requires comparatively less skill and supervision. FAIRMATE offers innovative technologies for waterproofing all types of structures. One such product is WATERGUARD PU MEMBRANE.

Properties of WATERGUARD PU MEMBRANE
It is a polyurethane based liquid applied single component elastomeric waterproofing membrane. It cures by reaction with atmospheric moisture to form a tough, elastomeric, waterproof membrane. The product is designed for use on horizontal and vertical surfaces, covered by a protective screed or render.
WATERGUARD PU MEMBRANE is used to provide continuous, seamless, water and vapour proof membrane for concrete. Typical applications will include roofs, podiums, balconies, floor slabs, suspended floors, patios, bathrooms, inspection pits, swimming pools and bridge decks. Properties include the following:
• Excellent crack bridging properties up to 2mm
• Resists deterioration from dilute acids and alkali, oil, salts, bacteria, and common fuels.
• Gives long term resistance to ponded water
• Membrane can stretch with movement in the substrate due to high elongation

WATERGUARD MAGIC- BIOCHEMICALLY MODIFIED WATERPROOFING COATING

Concrete has potential to be one of the longest lasting materials in history – the Egyptian pyramids in Ancient Egypt were even constructed from a primitive form of concrete, and they’re still standing strong. Why shouldn’t your home, or any other concrete structure you own, exhibit the same longevity? The number one arch enemy of concrete is water. Not only can water create harmful health risks with the growth of mold and mildew and create numerous problems for homeowner’s foundations but it can also be a carrier for salts and chlorides that can damage reinforcing steel in concrete leading to spalling and cracking.
Waterproofing is basically a process designed to prevent water from penetrating into a structure. Typically waterproofing is done in various layers and stages to create multiple barriers so that water cannot penetrate into the structure. A structure is waterproofed by the use of membranes and coatings to protect contents underneath or within as well as protecting structural integrity. Thus, protection from weather, seepages from ground and vertical travel of water in a structure can be well protected by the correct application of waterproofing system.

Factors Affecting a Building

Every building can be referred to as a living thing as it also addresses the problems of deterioration if proper care is not taken and maintenance is not involved. In this way, some natural factors like air, water, climate, wind and humidity govern the life of building, apart from the occupancy load. Water (through humidity and rains) is the prime source of degrading or harming a structure, right from its foundation to its plaster if the structure is not well protected from it. Water through its capillary action enters and hampers the strength of concrete, thereby making it susceptible to corrosion. This is observed in building through the development of cracks on plaster, rot formation on walls and presence of moisture on ceiling.
This leads to expensive structural repair works, damage or loss of interior finishes and goods, operational downtime, or serious impact on the internal environment from damp and condensation.

The selection of the appropriate waterproofing method, the project specific design of the chosen waterproofing system and its correct installation on site are key elements in minimizing the Total Cost of Ownership. A waterproofing system typically amounts to less than 1% of the total core constructions cost, yet the selection of a high quality waterproofing solution can easily save this amount or more, in future maintenance and repair costs over the service life of the structure.
Conventional waterproofing is either a liquid applied waterproofing coating or a preformed elastomeric membrane where they can temporarily help to reduce water and within a period of time those coatings or membranes are delaminated. Since they are unable to penetrate but instead coat the surface it is more like putting a band-aid on the problem instead of sealing from within.

FAIRMATE provides full range of technologies and solutions for waterproofing of structures. Fairmate has brought one revolutionary product WATERGUARD MAGIC which is a biochemically modified chemical solution that provides long-term waterproofing and durability benefits to concrete. It penetrates into concrete and reacts with free calcium and water to form a calcium silicate gel complex in cracks, pores and capillaries. This gel creates a sub-surface barrier against the ingress of water and contaminants such as chloride ions. WATERGUARD MAGIC will seal existing leaking cracks to 2.00mm. In the matrix the product remains reactive when in contact with water to provide autogenous healing properties to future hairline cracks.

Advantages of WATERGUARD MAGIC are as follows
• Permanently seals cracks up to 2.00mm.
• Reseals future hairline cracking.
• Reduction of chloride diffusion coefficient (ASTM C 1202) by 89% to 3.5

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Surface Preparation:

Surface must be structurally sound, clean dry and free from dust, grease, curing compounds, paint coatings, and other loose debris. Surface should ideally have a “sand paper” profile roughness. Recommended methods for preparing concrete are by sand or captive shot blasting; wire brushing or by pneumatic (scabbling) tools. Shrinkage and non structural cracks should be pre-treated with a 1mm thick coating of WATERGUARD PU LIQUID MEMBRANE reinforced with WATERGUARD GRS – fiber reinforce sheet extending at least 50mm on both sides of the crack. Allow to cure for 24 hours. Right angle or corner should have cant strips installed. A suitable cant strip can be prepared by mixing 1 part cement and 1 part fine clean sand and FAIRCRETE FBR additive. First apply 0.5mm thick WATERGUARD PU LIQUID MEMBRANE on the corners. Embed a 100mm width reinforcing WATERGUARD GRS – fiber reinforce sheet on the bedding coat then apply a second coat of WATERGUARD PU LIQUID MEMBRANE 0.5mm thick completely covering the reinforcement. Allow to cure at least 12 – 24 hours. Install mortar canting on the corners extending on both sides by 50mm. Allow cure for 24 hours prior to general application.
Priming:
Normally WATERGUARD PU LIQUID MEMBRANE can be applied directly onto the surface and does not require priming.

Application:

The product requires thorough mixing (for at least 3 – 5 minutes) with a mechanical drill (300-400 rpm) fitted with a proprietor paddle prior to application so that a homogenous mix is achieved. Application should commence as soon as product mixing is completed. Apply the coating at 1.2 kg/m²/coat to achieve a dry film thickness of 1000 microns. The coating can be applied in either one or two coats. If applying in two coats ensure that the second coat is applied only after the first coat has become tack free. The second coat is recommended to be applied in the opposite direction to the first coat as this will allow the polyurethane in the mix to be distributed more uniformly. The coating will achieve its full mechanical properties after a period of 7 days.

FAIRMATE CRYSTALLINE WATERPROOFING SYSTEM

Although crystalline waterproofing technology has been around for more than 50 years, it is still considered “state-of-the-art” and has only recently been embraced by the construction industry as a superior replacement for conventional membranes. Used in virtually every country around the world, integral crystalline waterproofing has been repeatedly and successfully tested.

Crystalline waterproofing systems rely on a revolutionary crystalline technology that turns porous concrete into an impermeable barrier. The result is a structure with reduced cracking, self-sealing and waterproofing abilities which provides a powerful defence against water damage and corrosion of reinforcing steel.
Whether it is new construction, upgrading an existing structure or repairing cracks, this technology will help you build quality, reliability and cost-effectiveness into the concrete.

Crystalline Waterproofing Advantages

√ Replaces unreliable exterior membrane systems
√ Penetrates deep into concrete—many inches over time
√ Self-seals hairline cracks—minimum .5 mm (.02 in.)
√ Reactivates in the presence of moisture—even years later
√ Effective against hydrostatic pressure—up to 140 m (460 ft) of head pressure
√ Waterproofs from any direction (i.e. positive or negative side)
√ Impervious to physical damage and deterioration
√ Easy to apply and reduces potential for human error

How Does It Work?

Unlike old-fashioned external membranes, which rely on an additional hurdle to shield the concrete from moisture, crystalline waterproofing product actually transforms the concrete into a water-resistant barrier. It becomes an integral part of the concrete matrix when applied to existing concrete or added to the mix at time of batching. When combined with water and concrete, the product reacts with un-hydrated cement particles to form millions of needle-like crystals. Over a period of weeks and months, these crystals grow, filling the naturally occurring pores and voids in concrete, and permanently blocking the pathways for water and waterborne contaminants.
Later, if cracks form due to settling or shrinkage, incoming water triggers the crystallization process and additional crystals begin to grow. The crystals fill the cracks and ensure that the structure’s waterproofing barrier is maintained and protected. In other words, the product has the unique ability – even years later – to self-seal hair-line cracks before they turn into costly cracks in your budget.

How are the Products applied?

Crystalline waterproofing products are supplied as a dry powder comprised of Portland cement, silica sand and special chemicals. For new construction it can be added to the concrete mixture at the plant or on-site; applied as a dry-shake and towelled into fresh concrete surfaces; or brush-applied in slurry form to existing concrete. In addition, the products can be used to repair concrete cracks and waterproof construction joints in grout (dry pack) form.

Where Is It Used?

Crystalline waterproofing products have proven their versatility in hundreds of projects across the globe. They have been incorporated in high-rise office towers, commercial buildings, parking structures, elevator pits, subway tunnels, and mountain pipelines. They have demonstrated their reliability in protecting water supply in reservoirs and treatment tanks, recreational facilities such as pools and spas and the supporting structures of bridges and dams. These products can provide permanent waterproofing in a wide range of applications and environmental conditions.

Crystalline Waterproofing will reduce cost!

Cost savings – materials
Savings can be realized immediately through the elimination of strengthening agents, water reducers, plasticiser, curing agents, air entrainers, set retarders and shrinkage compensators. One of the largest immediate savings is the elimination of external waterproofing membranes which require both the purchase of waterproofing membrane and labour costs.

Cost savings – Labour
The ability to increase pumping, pouring, finishing and cleaning efficiency through increased flow ability and ease of use will also provide immediate labour cost savings. This technology dramatically increases productivity by reducing the labour demands and increasing the speed of the construction.

Cost savings – Job
A few simple calculations can be utilized to determine the dramatic savings that can be realized through the elimination of additives and externally applied water proofing membranes. The simple use of one additive can actually increase productivity while reducing costs.

Cost savings – Repair
The simplicity in using crystalline waterproofing products also eliminates errors due to incompetence and neglect as it is applied directly to the ready mix truck or at the batching plant. When using these products with a ready mix truck, the required amount of is added and allowed to mix for 10 minutes. The concrete is then ready for pumping and placing. The ease of use will eliminate the inconvenient and costly necessity of repairing somebody’s mistake.

Cost savings – Long Term
The long term cost savings are extremely impressive. The ability of crystalline waterproofing products to strengthen a concrete structure, to permanently waterproof and to protect reinforcing steel from corrosion and pollution increases the life expectancy of concrete structures. This will reduce the need for costly repairs and restoration in the future. It is not difficult to understand the savings advantage that can be achieved in the long run through the simple addition of crystalline products to concrete. The savings include labour, equipment, materials, financing, and the opportunity costs involved when a repair, restoration or rebuilding of a structure is required.

Integral crystalline concrete waterproofing admixture – FAIRCRETE RMW CRYSTALLINE

This product eliminates the need for conventional external waterproofing membranes. It saves time, money and hassle at the construction site over the lifetime of the concrete. The crystalline admixture is available in pulpable bags for easy addition to the concrete mixer. It won the ‘Most Innovative Product’ award from the World of Concrete tradeshow. In addition, it is the first concrete admixture to be certified by the International Code Council – Evaluation Service (ICC-ES) as a Chemical Admixture used in Concrete (AC198). This chemical admixture is used for the treatment of concrete and concrete products to protect against water intrusion, leakage, cracking, chemical attack, and corrosion of reinforcing steel.

Specially designed chemical admixtures are available for waterproofing cementitious mortar. It contains a unique blend of chemicals that react with the cementitious materials in the mortar to form hydration crystals, blocking water intrusion.

Liquid, membrane-forming compounds are also available for curing concrete. The liquid helps to prevent the rapid evaporation of moisture from fresh concrete to allow more complete cement hydration and to dramatically reduce the occurrence of drying shrinkage cracks. It is water-based and is a suitable replacement for wet curing in conformance with ACI 308 guidelines.

Surface-Applied Concrete Waterproofing Products – WATERGUARD CRYSTALLINE

Recently built structures and heritage buildings need water protection too! Whether you’re waterproofing a new structure or repairing leaks, concrete waterproofing treatments allow you to turn existing concrete into a waterproof barrier reliably and cost-effectively.

Repair & Maintenance Systems – WATERGUARD T CRYSTALLINE

No matter how carefully you build and maintain your concrete structure, it’s not a matter of if cracks will occur, but when. At best, concrete cracks are an unattractive nuisance. At worst, they lead to leaks that can damage the interior of the building, corrode steel reinforcements, and ultimately shorten the life of the concrete structure.
Unlike other systems, the repair and maintenance products that are available, protects from any direction. Even against high water pressure. Because they can be applied to either side of the concrete, there are no limits when it comes to repairing or waterproofing hard or impossible to reach areas. These products can be put to work wherever the cracks are—without expensive, time consuming perimeter digging.

How does Crystalline Waterproofing Technology work?

This technology is an integral crystalline concrete waterproofing system that was developed over 30 years ago. When added or applied to concrete, crystalline chemicals cause long, narrow crystals to form. The crystals penetrate through the concrete and fill the pores and hairline cracks. The crystals continue to react with incoming water to self-seal cracks that inevitably develop in concrete over time. This technology protects concrete structures against water and contaminants that can weaken or destroy concrete and corrode steel reinforcements.

Where is it used (types of jobs)?

Crystalline waterproofing systems can benefit any concrete structure at risk of water penetration. Its self-sealing ability and resistance to high water pressure makes it ideally suited for below-grade foundations, parking lots, elevator pits, water containment and aquatic facilities, bridges, dams, tunnels, and pipelines. Integrated – Crystalline waterproofing penetrates into the concrete. It will not crack, peel, tear or wear-away.

 Continually self-seals – Crystals within the concrete reactivate repeatedly over time to reseal cracks and prevent water penetration.

 Environmental – The products are non-toxic, non-flammable and odorless. This allows the concrete to be recycled. Traditional membrane systems are petroleum-based. They use adhesives with highly volatile organic compounds. The vapor from these compounds can cause respiratory problems and contribute to “sick building syndrome”. Oil can also leach out and contaminate ground water.

 Maximizes space – No additional space outside the structure is required for membrane application. This allows for a larger structural footprint and building right to the property line.

 Saves time – The products can be applied to green concrete or added to the ready-mix truck. There is no need to wait for the membrane application, so backfilling can begin right away.

 Tropical climates – Membrane systems become brittle and deteriorate when exposed to prolonged heat. Crystalline systems reduce premature moisture loss in hot or tropical climates. It creates a more durable structure and reduces shrinkage and cracking. It is unaffected by climate and remains effective for the life of the structure.

How is our crystalline technology different from other crystalline technologies?

Many products claim to have permanent waterproofing abilities. Most are only damp proofers and have little penetrating ability. These products contain stearates or sodium silicates. They waterproof by filling initial surface pores of concrete only. Therefore, they work well initially, but continually deteriorate over time.
Our products are free of stearates, sodium silicates and chlorides. It contains a proprietary blend of chemicals that cause hydration crystals to grow throughout the capillaries and pores of concrete as the material comes in contact with moisture. The crystals continue to react in the presence of later, making our products more effective with time.

The WATERREPELL S should be applied liberally so that it runs freely down the surface to about six inches below the point of application. When applying by spray, the pressure should be kept as low as possible to avoid excessive misting, and the nozzle held close to the surface. After application of WATERREPELL S, it dries within a few hours and becomes fully resistant to water in 24 hours. Brushes, spray equipment, etc. may be cleaned with water.
