TOPSEAL:
Description
Solvent free, liquid
bitumen emulsion
consisting of a
combination of
special water
emulsifying agents
conforming to
international
standards.
Fields
of application
For all
waterproofing
purposes on all
types of surfaces
exposed
to water like
concrete, metal,
wood , and others.
Some typical applications
are:-
Foundations,
retaining walls and
basements, giving a
protection against
water infiltration
as well as chemical
attack from the
soil's detrimental
salts.
Roofs and floorings
in bathrooms and all
areas
needing protection
from probable
infiltration of
water.
Advantages
Can be used on damp
surfaces and not
necessarily a dry
one.
Easy to apply
without any heating
thus economical in
cost and labor.
Relative short time
for the reaching of
the final
waterproofing
properties after
application. This is
due to the fact that
the product does not
reply on the
evaporation of the
emulsion medium for
final properties but
on the breaking up
the emulsion upon
contact with the
surface to be
water-proofed and
after the required
time for the
penetration of the
infinite bitumen
particles (1 to 15
microns) into the
porous surface such
as concrete, bricks
or the like has
elapsed.
The product can be
diluted with water
up to 1:10 (Topseal
: water) to allow
adjustment with the
different conditions
and to obtain a
higher degree of
penetration into the
surface.
- The
product is odorless
thus allows
comfortable working
conditions and
doesn't need special
ventilation.
The final
water-proofing layer
is highly resistant
to chemicals and
acids except
sulfuric acid and
organic solvents.
Complies with DIN
18195 part 2.

Method
of application
The surface to
be water-proofed is
thoroughly cleaned
from dirt and other
impurities.
A primer coat is
applied of Topseal
after dilution with
water 1:1 using
ordinary painting
tools that has been
wet before use.The
dilution is
increased in case of
highly porous
surfaces or when
using a spraying
equipment.
One or two coats
are then applied,
without any dilution
of the product, on
the primer coat
after its color has
turned from brown to
black meaning that
the breaking of the
emulsion and the
coagulation of the
particles is
complete.This takes
approximately from
20 to 30 min.
depending on the
nature of the
treated surface.
Coverage As
a water-proofing
coat 750-1000 gm/m2
As a protective coat
250 gm/m2.
