Full details

The Drybase TS-PLUS Tanking Slurry Kit is a comprehensive waterproofing solution for masonry and concrete, offering reliable damp proofing and long-lasting protection. Ideal for homeowners and professionals tackling issues in basements, retaining walls, and foundations, its key benefit is creating a robust barrier against moisture and high water pressure. A potential caveat to consider is its limited pot life, requiring efficient application.

FAQs

How much area does one 12 KG kit cover?

One 12 KG kit (two 5 kg powder bags and two 1 L liquid sachets) provides enough material for two coats over approximately 5 square meters at the recommended thickness.

Can I apply this over existing paint or coatings?

It is best to remove any loose or flaking paint or coatings. The surface should be sound, clean, and free from contaminants for optimal adhesion.

What is the pot life of the mixed slurry?

The pot life of the mixed slurry is approximately 30 minutes at normal temperatures. This can be reduced in warmer conditions.

How long does it take to cure?

The slurry typically sets in 4 to 6 hours and can be overcoated or tiled once fully cured, usually within 24-48 hours depending on conditions.

Is this product suitable for potable water tanks?

While excellent for general waterproofing, check specific product certifications if using for potable water storage. This product is not specifically certified for potable water contact.

Can I apply tiles directly over the tanking slurry?

Yes, once fully cured, tiles can be applied directly over the Drybase Tanking Slurry using a suitable cement-based tile adhesive.

What are the ideal temperature conditions for application?

Apply in temperatures between 5°C and 30°C. Avoid application in direct sunlight or during frost conditions.

Troubleshooting

Slurry is too thick or too thin.

Ensure accurate mixing ratios of powder to liquid polymer. Add small amounts of water only if absolutely necessary for workability, but avoid over-dilution.

Surface remains damp after application.

Check for missed spots or insufficient coating thickness. Ensure the substrate was properly prepared and that adequate drying time between coats was allowed.

Poor adhesion to the surface.

Verify that the substrate was clean, sound, and free from dust or efflorescence before application. Ensure the surface was adequately dampened (but not saturated) prior to application.

Product sets too quickly.

Ensure the mixing container is clean and avoid mixing larger batches than can be applied within the 30-minute pot life. Work in cooler temperatures if possible, as heat accelerates setting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a robust and long-lasting waterproof barrier.
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications, both above and below ground.
  • Easy to apply using common tools like brushes or trowels.
  • Quick setting time speeds up project timelines.
  • Effective against significant water pressure.

Cons

  • Limited pot life of approximately 30 minutes requires efficient mixing and application.
  • Requires careful surface preparation for optimal performance.
  • Two-part mixing needs to be done accurately to achieve desired results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the substrate is clean, sound, and free from dust, loose debris, and any surface contaminants. Dampen the surface slightly to improve adhesion but avoid standing water.
  2. Mixing: In a clean container, empty one 5 kg bag of cementitious powder. Gradually add one 1-litre sachet of liquid polymer, mixing thoroughly with a mechanical mixer or by hand until a smooth, lump-free slurry is achieved. Do not mix more material than can be applied within the 30-minute pot life.

Application:

  • Apply the first coat using a brush, trowel, or spray. Ensure even coverage.
  • Allow the first coat to become touch-dry (typically 1-2 hours) before applying the second coat at a right angle to the first.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use on most masonry and concrete surfaces.
  • Can be applied both above and below ground.

Care:

  • Keep containers sealed when not in use.
  • Store in a cool, dry place.
  • Once mixed, the slurry should be used within 30 minutes.
