BETEC® Flex S150

Two-component, flexible, cementitious coating for waterproofing/damp-proofing of new and existing structures

Product Description

BETEC® Flex S150 is a flexible, two-part polymer-modified cementitious waterproofing system. The two components of BETEC® Flex S150 are mixed together with a slow speed drill and paddle to form a smooth slurry. The slurry is applied by trowel or brush, in two coats, to form a hard but flexible waterproof cementitious coating.

BETEC® Flex S150 can be applied onto damp substrates, internal and external wet areas. The cured membrane is flexible, durable, weather-resistant, and has excellent adhesion to most substrates.

Product Advantages

  • Resists both positive and negative pressure.
  • Flexible - will bridge drying shrinkage and hair line cracks.
  • Seals lightweight aerated blocks and pre-cast joints.
  • Excellent adhesion to concrete, masonry, ceramics, and most common substrates and does not attack metal.
  • Non-toxic.
  • Able to take foot traffic when cured.
  • Direct plaster or screed without affecting bond.

Applications

  • Floor, basement wall and slab
  • Swimming pool, water feature
  • Bathroom, balcony, wet area and planter box
  • Water-retaining structure
  • Parking deck
  • Sealing pre-cast joint

Installation

Surface Preparation

  • Chase out all holes and voids and fill with appropriate Mortar from GCP Applied Technologies to provide a smooth and level surface; mortar joints should be flush pointed.
  • Remove all bitumen, oil, grease, dirt and other surface contaminants by wire brushing and pressure washing. Cut back any protrusions.

Mixing

  • Shake the liquid well and pour around 75% into a clean mixing container. •Slowly add the BETEC® Flex S150 Powder while mixing.
  • Mix until a homogenous slurry, free from all lumps, is formed. •Scrape any unmixed material from the side of the mixing container with a trowel and mix in.
  • Finally, add the appropriate amount of the remaining liquid to achieve the required consistency for application.
  • DO NOT USE PART MIXES. DO NOT ADD WATER, CEMENT, SAND OR OTHER MATERIALS.
  • It is recommended that mechanical mixing (400 to 500rpm) should be used for 2 to 3 mins to ensure proper dispersion of the components.
  • Pre-wet the surface with clean water. Do not allow pooling or ponding.
  • Apply the first coat of BETEC® Flex S150 mixed materials onto the prepared surface using a brush, trowel, squeegee or roller in a stifling action.
  • Apply the second coat finish depending on site conditions and film thickness required.
  • Before applying the second coat in alternate direction, leave the first coat to dry for approximately 2 to 4 hours depending on the thickness.
  • If overcoating is done more than 24 hours after applying the previous coat, or the previous coat has already dried out, the surface must be pre-wetted again.
