Description Technical features and measures Related documentation

It is a stable bituminous emulsion in dark brown colour and doughy consistency. Composed of tiny bituminous particles in a water solution with an emulsifying agent. The latter contains certain SBS products that confer the MAXDAN CAUCHO dry film a perfect adherence, flexibility and elasticity.It complies with the specifications required by UNE 104-231/88.It is used for protection of walls, separating walls and foundations, deposits, etc., as well as vapour barrier. Can also be used for repairing old waterproofing systems.

Scope

Adhesive of thermal insulation panels (cork or similar).
Vapour barrier (approximate total yield (2 kg/m²).
In the case of sloping roofs with CURIDAN ASPHALTIC PLATE, the first row of plate is not only nailed to the substrate, but also bonded to it with MAXDAN RUBBER.
In the case of renovating old, self-protected bituminous waterproofing with slate or mineral granules, it can be used as a primer before applying the new bituminous waterproofing system. In bonded systems, the bituminous sheet is welded in its entirety, so the entire surface must be primed. In non-bonded or floating systems, the bituminous sheet is only welded at the singular points (parapets, drains, expansion joints, etc.), and these elements must be primed.
Primer and preparation of surfaces where a bituminous sheet is to be welded, on both porous and non-porous surfaces.
Priming and preparation of porous surfaces that will later be waterproofed or treated with asphalt products.
Protection from dampness in walls and partition walls.
Dampness protection of the outer underside of abutments and wings of viaducts and overpasses of roads, railways, avenues, etc.
Dampness protection of the external surface of concrete retaining walls and buried foundations, acting on the side in contact with the ground.
Dampness protection of the outer surface of subways and service tunnels in civil engineering works.

Advantages & Benefits

Good adhesion on porous materials.
Good durability.
Good chemical resistance to saline water and weak acids and even weak bases.
Doughy consistency.
Asphalt mortars are less rigid and more plastic than conventional mortars.
A paste-like product with a uniform appearance and cold application that hardens by evaporation of the water it contains. Once applied and dried, it forms a continuous film.
Little thermal variation.
Easy application.
Great bonding.
Insoluble once the film dries.
Asphalt mortars have the advantage over conventional mortars in that they put less stress on bituminous waterproofing.
It does not crack in the cold, nor does it flow in the heat.
Chemical resistance.
Waterproof.
It can be applied with a brush, paintbrush or roller.
It can be applied in closed rooms.
It can be applied on wood, concrete blocks, masonry, mortar, bricks, lightened concrete, etc.
Totally stable and long lasting.
Solvent free.

Support

Plasticised and self-protected asphalt sheets.
Compatible thermal insulation products.
Concrete subsrates.
Wooden subsrates.

Instruction for Use

The substrate surface must be solid, uniform, smooth, cleaned, dry and free from foreign bodies. Lay out the PVC membrane. Pierce the membrane proportionally to the diameter of the drain. Test the hole drains. In the test hole at the same time mark the point to be cut with respect to wall thickness, cutting the pipe (pin) is made so that the bottom is longer by 5 mm to the upper hot-air welding crown membrane drain. Before joining the elbow, have a special adhesive bead plasticized PVC. After having coupled the elbow, ensure the drain tube is inserted into the four tabs on the inside thereof.

Indications and Important Recommendations

Before using the product, stir well until it is perfectly equal.
In case of refurbishment, chemical incompatibilities with old waterproofing systems consisting of PVC membranes, modified tar-based mastics or any other, shall be taken into account, and it may be necessary to remove them completely or to use suitable separating layers.
This product may form part of a waterproofing system, so all the documents referred to in the Danosa Solutions Manual must be taken into account, as well as all the regulations and legislation that must be complied with in this respect.
Work must not be carried out when weather conditions may be harmful, in particular when it is snowing or there is snow or ice on the roof, when it is raining or the roof is wet, or when there is a strong wind blowing.
Do not install at temperatures below +5°C.
Do not apply in rainy weather, as this could cause the emulsion to wash out, resulting in a product with poor internal cohesion.
Never use as a roof waterproofing system.
Possible incompatibility between thermal insulation and waterproofing shall be checked.
Polyurethane foam shall not be sprayed directly on top of the waterproofing without the use of a suitable separating layer (geotextiles, mortar layers, polyethylene film, etc).
All material used shall be cleaned with water after handling. When this product is dry, it can only be removed with solvent.
This product expires after six months
NOTE: For more information on the Danosa systems in which this product is used, please see the document "Waterproofing Solutions".

Warning

Do not apply on icy or very hot surfaces.
