An elastomeric, cement based waterproof coating for concrete and masonry. How does MasterSeal 588 work?
MasterSeal 588 powder is a blend of Portland cements, selected silica sands and modifying agents. When mixed to a slurry consistency with MasterSeal 588 liquid, an acrylic polymer emulsion, it can be easily applied by brush or roller. It cures to give an elastomeric flexible membrane. MasterSeal 588 must be reinforced with mesh across all construction joints and cracks. The reinforcing mesh may be either 100% virgin polypropylene or an alkali resistant glass-fibre mesh depending on which particular enhanced tensile properties are required, please consult your local Technical Service Representative for further advice on the correct selection of mesh.
What is MasterSeal 588 used for?
For waterproofing of water-retaining structures which may be subject to movement.
To protect concrete from water, carbonation and deicing salts.
Suitable for internal and external use, against positive and negative water pressure.
Suitable for use in wet area waterproofing where tiles are to be installed directly on top of the membrane using a proprietary tile adhesive.
Can be applied to damp substrates.
Thin layer application.
Equipment to be cleaned simply with water.
For waterproofing of swimming pools.
