APPLICATION FIELDS
Product suitable as:
• waterproofing for positive and negative pressure (counterthrust), for damp problems, when it is not possible
to act directly on the origin of infiltration (ground walls, underground rooms, elevator shaft, garages, basements, cellars and tunnels);
• encapsulates rising damp and saltpetre in Diasen Dehumidifying System;
• steam barrier of ground level floors;
• filler for joints tiles and cracks on substrate to restore. Suitable inside and outside.

BENEFITS
• Resists to 9.5 atm (132.3 psi) of positive and negative pressure (counterthrust).
• No excavation or demolition, if applied inside.
• It is used as water barrier onto ground walls in Diasen Dehumidifying System (in combination with Diathonite Rinzaffo
and Diathonite Deumix – see technical data sheets).
• Excellent waterproofing, filling and consolidating properties.
• Multipurpose solution.
• Used as vapour barrier on concrete substrates.
• Thanks to its osmotic properties, it avoids removal and disposal of old plasters.
• Easy to plaster, to paint over and to tile.
• Applicable also at low temperatures (+5°C / +41 °F).
• Solvent free product.

PREPARATION OF SUPPORT
The support must be completely hardened and resistant. Otherwise restore it with a suitable cementicious mortar. The surface must be thoroughly clean, well consolidated, without debris or detaching parts. The support must be as regular and workable as possible. Before the application, it is recommended to cover, window and door sills and any other element that must not be covered with the product.

Irregular vertical substrates
Level the surface with cement or lime based mortar or plaster (such as Diathonite Regularization – see technical data sheet).

Plasters
Make sure that the plaster is well bonded to the substrate. Otherwise remove or restore it. With painted or skimmed plasters, make sure that the superficial layer is well bonded to the substrate.

Concrete In presence of new realised cement substrate, this must be sufficiently dry and cured. The concrete support must have a relative humidity equal to or less than 4%.

Tiles
Old ceramic pavements must be attached to the substrate (otherwise remove them and fill with cementicious mortar) and must not present any debris or detaching parts such as greases, waxes, oils, etc. According to the wide range of tiles that can be found on the market, it is recommended to realize a test in order to verify the perfect adhesion of the product. Joints can be filled with WATstop, applied by stainless steel or rubber trowel.
