Trade Professional Information

• Required Tools: Roller, brush, airless spray equipment, mixing bucket, mixing paddle, safety glasses, gloves, cleaning solvents.
• Trade-Specific Tips: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from contaminants before application. Prime porous substrates for optimal adhesion. Mix membranes thoroughly before application. Apply membranes in thin, even coats, ensuring full coverage and proper film build. Allow adequate drying time between coats and before exposing the membrane to water or stress. For spray applications, maintain a consistent spray pattern and overlap.
• Common Issues and Solutions:
  • Issue: Blistering or delamination. Solution: Ensure proper surface preparation and adhesion. Apply membranes in thin, even coats and allow proper drying time between coats.
  • Issue: Uneven coating thickness. Solution: Use appropriate application techniques and equipment. Maintain a consistent application rate and overlap.
  • Issue: Slow drying or tackiness. Solution: Ensure proper ventilation and avoid extreme temperatures during curing. Adhere to recommended drying times.
