Packaging: 2 US gal. Pail Kit

Planiseal™ MB

Moisture Barrier and Consolidating Epoxy Primer

Planiseal MB is a 100%-solids epoxy coating that is designed to effectively stop moisture-related problems with toppings, as well as act as a surface-consolidating epoxy primer. When the designated film thickness is applied, Planiseal MB will reduce moisture vapor emission rates (MVERs) of up to 25 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. (11,3 kg per 92,9 m2) per 24 hours to below the limit of 3 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. (1,36 kg per 92,9 m2).

When Planiseal MB is applied in a single-coat application system, its low-viscosity high-density resins penetrate deep into the substrate to effectively consolidate the substrate and reduce the MVER. Planiseal MB also may be used to consolidate friable substrates before application of toppings and other floor finishes, in addition to self-leveling underlayments.

Waterproofing

Vulkem 350/351 Waterproofing System

Pedestrian and Waterproofing System

Vulkem® 350/351 is a composite waterproofing system comprised of tough curing liquid polyurethane. It cures to form a rubber membrane surface that provides a lasting and easy-to-clean coating. Textured surfaces for pedestrian traffic will use an aggregate-laden top membrane to aid in wear and slip resistance. Vulkem 350/351 may be used to apply a seamless, monolithic waterproof membrane to concrete and primed metal surfaces.

Basic Uses

Vulkem 350/351 is ideal for plazas, recreation decks, balconies, mechanical rooms, stadiums, athletic surfaces and similar applications requiring an elastomeric waterproofing system.

ARDEX 8+9™

ARDEX 8+9™ Rapid Waterproofing and Crack Isolation Compound is a best-in-class, two-component, solvent-free, cement-based membrane. Comprised of an acrylic-based liquid compound and a Portland and other hydraulic cement-based powder, ARDEX 8+9 can be applied easily with a paint roller or a brush to produce a highly flexible, waterproof coating. This coating protects from topside water infiltration and provides an excellent bonding layer for ARDEX tile and stone mortars. When properly installed, ARDEX 8+9 reduces the risk of efflorescence and is IAPMO certified for use as a shower pan.

Key Features

• Rapid setting – tile in as little as 90 minutes
• Flood test in 4 hours
• Crack isolation up to 1/8″ (3 mm)
• Excellent coverage – up to 300 sq. ft. for commercial unit and up to 100 sq. ft. for convenient kit
• Ideal for applications in commercial and residential bathrooms, showers and kitchens prior to the installation of tile and stone
• For use in swimming pools*
• Use for interior or exterior floors and walls
• Easy to apply with a roller
• A solvent-free blend of Portland cement and other hydraulic cements for the ultimate bond with ARDEX tile and stone mortars
• Helps to prevent efflorescence from the substrate
• Can be used in place of a shower pan liner
