MYCROPRIME–CIAW6557 Waterproofing Chemicals

MYCROPRIME – CIAW6557 is an acrylic-based primer before waterproofing is essential for ensuring a long-lasting, effective waterproofing system. It enhances adhesion, seals pore, improves durability, and prevents moisture-related issues. Whether for roofs, walls, basements, or wet areas, priming is a key step that should not be skipped.

Technical information: 60% +2% solid contents

Features & Advantages

• Strongly bonds waterproofing materials to the substrate.

• Prevents peeling, flaking, or detachment of the waterproofing layer.

• Fills small pores and cracks in concrete, masonry, or other substrates.

• Reduces excessive absorption of waterproofing materials, ensuring better coverage.

• Prevents moisture from seeping into the substrate before applying the waterproofing.

• Reduces the risk of water-induced damage like efflorescence and mold growth.

• Allows for faster application of waterproofing membranes or coatings.

• Reduces downtime in construction or repair work.

• Compatible with all kind of cementitious waterproofing system

• Protects against alkali reactions in concrete that can weaken the waterproofing layer.

• Resists exposure to chemicals, salts, and environmental pollutants.

• Allows trapped moisture to escape while preventing liquid water ingress.

• Reduces blistering and delamination of the waterproofing layer.

• Primers protect against UV degradation, improving the longevity of the waterproofing system.

• Creates a smooth and uniform surface, minimizing surface defects.

• Enhances the final appearance of the waterproofed area.

• Reduces excessive use of waterproofing materials by providing an even base.

• Improves long-term cost-effectiveness by extending the lifespan of the waterproofing system.

Application

Step 1: Surface Preparation                                         

Clean the Surface:

Repair Cracks and Holes:

Ensure a Dry Surface:

Check for Efflorescence (Dust) 

Step 2: Selecting the Right Primer

Step 3: Mixing the Primer: 1:1 water to primer ratio

Step 4: Applying the Primer

Use the Right Application Method

Apply a Thin, Even Coat

Allow Proper Drying Time

Step 5: Inspect Before Waterproofing

Check Adhesion

Look for Imperfections

Proceed with Waterproofing

Coverage:  The approximate coverage at even consistency with brush application It will cover minimum 56 sq.ft /kg for horizontal surface and 70 sq.ft / kg for vertical surface in 1st coat and 80 - 110 sq.ft/kg in 2nd coat Actual coverage will depends on the texture of the surface and no. of coatings.
