RD-Elastoflex

 Breathable waterproofing system for concrete, walls and facades; protects against weathering, carbonation and water ingress.

Solution with humidity regulation preventing internal condensation, and very high elasticity for better crack bridging. Thanks to its high quality resin and pigmentation, and its dirt pickup resistance, RD-Elastoflex maintains for years with an impeccable appearance the objects it is protecting.

USES:

Breathable waterproofing system for concrete, walls and faades; protects against weathering, carbonation and water ingress.

FEATURES:

Single component water-based elastomeric coating formulated with pure acrylic resins and high-quality pigments. RD-Elastoflex will protect the surface against water ingress while allowing water vapour to escape through the paint film. This will prevent moisture and polluted air being trapped inside the building. Its high elasticity (> 600%), maintained also during winters, helps to bridge cracks and maintain the film properties durably. On constructions with active cracks, the use of RD-Mur Fleece is highly recommended to strengthen the system and guarantee its performance over the years.

RD-Elastoflex is water-based, easy to handle, safe and has no fire risks.
It is a fast-drying coating system that greatly reduces downtime during installation.
Virtually odour free, it does not affect neighbouring occupants and can therefore be used in occupied buildings.

RD-Elastoflex is UV resistant and is meant to be applied as primer and finishing coat.

With its excellent dirt pick up resistance, the coating stays neat and tidy over time. RD-Elastoflex complies with the requirements of EN 1504-2 as a protective coating for concrete (principles 1.3 / 2.3 / 8.3 according to EN 1504-9: 2006) and has a CE marking.

RD-Elastoflex protects millions of square meters of valuable assets worldwide 24/7 including iconic architectural buildings, governmental or commercial offices.

RD-Elastoflex is part of the SCS Single Coating System – product group.

SUBSTRATES:

New and old masonry – Cement – Concrete

APPLICATION CONDITIONS:

Ambient temperature: minimum 5

C (41 F)Optimal between 12 and 25C (54 and 77 F).
Relative humidity: maximum 80 %
Dew point > 3 C (5 F)

APPLICATION MEANS:

Brush, roller or airless (nozzle size: 015?023)
Application by airless is recommended and makes it easier to reach the recommended thicknesses. Use a device that allows a minimum pressure of 180 bar / 2600 psi at the outlet.

PREPARATION OF THE SUBSTRATE:

The substrate has to be clean, dry, and free of dust.
New Masonry's must be cleaned first with an iron brush to eliminate all spatters of mortar.
Painted substrates should be cleaned with a high-pressure washing machine.
If the support is mossy, the moss must be removed with a special anti-moss product. Fill up the cracks with RD-Acryl W.
Active cracks should be reinforced with RD-Mur Fleece.

Use RD-Cement Filler to repair important repairs on concrete.

DILUTION:

Product ready for use.
RD-Elastoflex can be diluted by maximum 10% with water by warm weather (> 2 C / 77 F) for a better wet ability.

DRYING TIME (20?C – 68?F):

Touch dry: +/- 2 hours
Re coatable: +/- 24 hours

CLEANING OF TOOLS:

Water

SPECIFICITIES:

Mix well before use. RD-Elastoflex has a very high hiding power, we advise therefore to use different colours for the first and second coat for better recognition.
