SILCOR® 1100
Single layer, cold, spray-applied for building deck and basement wall waterproofing Membrane
Description
SILCOR® 1100 is a tough while flexible, seamless, fast and easy to apply structural waterproofing membrane designed for buried application and the protection of concrete structures based on GCP’s (previously Stirling Lloyd) unique ESSELAC® advanced resin technology and extensive experience in the development of coatings for specialist waterproofing. SILCOR® 1100 enables fast return to service and provides long term protection and peace of mind for the building owner.

Uses
SILCOR® 1100 is designed to protect structures from water.
SILCOR® 1100 Spray Grade is suitable for larger areas and can achieve outputs of 3,000m2 per day dependent on site conditions.
For SILCOR® 1100 Hand Grade application which is ideal for application in small areas or where restricted access prevents spray application; kindly contact your GCP representative for an application guideline.
Typical applications include:
- Podium Decks including Green and Bio-Diverse landscaping
- Basement retaining walls
- Balconies
- Roofs - including Green and Bio-Diverse roofs
- Concrete, masonry, suitable asphalt* or steel substrates requiring a chemical and/or abrasion resistant coating

Surface Preparation
All surface coating systems are dependent on the quality of surface preparation.
Concrete
New concrete substrates should be a minimum of fourteen days old and constructed in accordance with BS EN 1992. The substrate must be clean, dry and structurally sound. It must be free from laitance, oils and all other surface contaminants. Where the use of a non-structural screed or a lightweight concrete substrate is proposed, contact Technical Services as these materials often have low cohesive strength or retain water in open pores. Please refer CSP (Concrete Surface Profile) by ICRI (International Concrete Repair Institute) for additional guidance on acceptable surface preparation.
Steel
On steel surfaces all rust, dirt and contamination should be removed to expose bright metal to achieve a surface finish to receive suitable metal deck primer. For compatibility with other construction materials or where additives, cement replacement or curing compounds have been used please consult the GCP Technical Services Department.
Application
Primer
The substrate must be primed with an appropriate GCP primer prior to application of the SILCOR® 1100 membrane. A choice of primers is available depending on the type of substrate and weather conditions. They are usually applied using a brush or roller. Please consult the appropriate datasheets of Primer PA1 for concrete surfaces and refer to datasheets of Primer ZEDS 94 for Metal deck.
Membrane
SILCOR® 1100 is applied in one single coat.
SILCOR® 1100 can be applied using spray and hand, kindly contact GCP Technical Service for application guideline.
SILCOR® 1100 Spray Grade is spray-applied in 1.7mm Wet Film Thickness to give a minimum dry film thickness of 1.5mm. The coverage rate will vary with surface texture. It is highly recommended to use Wet Film Thickness gauge to measure the wet film thickness continuously. Please refer to SILCOR® 1100 application guideline for further details.
SILCOR® 1100 can be foot trafficked or loaded once fully cured.
SILCOR® 1100 can be connected and fully compatible with GCP PREPRUFE® Pre-applied membranes. SILCOR® 1100 will require a protection layer against backfill when used on vertical retaining wall Kindly contact GCP Technical Services for a connection detail and backfill recomendation.
SILCOR® 1100 will require a protection or separation layer depending upon design of final finishes when used on horizontal decks, please contact GCP Technical Services for further details.
