Duram Azcothane Reo: A Technical Overview

Duram Azcothane Reo is a water-based polyurethane-fortified acrylic hybrid membrane internally reinforced with microfibres. The internal reinforcement removes the need for separate reinforcing in many details, speeding install and reducing labour. It’s single-pack, low VOC and bonds as a seamless, joint-free membrane. Tested as a Class III membrane to AS 4654.1 and compliant with AS 4858, it’s suitable for protected above-grade waterproofing and wet areas, while allowing direct stick tiling/render once fully cured.

Core Features & Specifications

  • Internally microfibre-reinforced — eliminates separate reinforcing in many details, saving time on site.
  • Class III performance to AS 4654.1; compliant with AS 4858 — meets NCC waterproofing requirements.
  • Water-based, single-pack — no mixing, easier handling, water clean-up.
  • Direct stick tile/render suitability — simplifies finishing trades once membrane is fully cured.
  • Low VOC — meets Green Star environmental criteria for healthier work environments.
  • Seamless bonded membrane — no laps or joints that can become failure points.
  • Typical physicals: 311% elongation; 1.32 MPa tensile; 57% solids by volume — flexible yet robust for movement and durability.
  • Coverage (waterproofing): 1 m²/L per coat achieving ~0.5 mm DFT per coat; two coats required.
  • Cure guide (25 °C, 50% RH): touch dry 2–4 h/coat; recoat 4–24 h; full cure ~96 h before tiling/topping.
  • Packaging/colour: 15 L pail (≈16 kg), grey; shelf life 12 months (stored correctly).

The Azcothane Reo Advantage

  • Faster detailing: internal reinforcement reduces external fabric use, streamlining installs.
  • Compliance confidence: Class III/AS 4654.1 and AS 4858 compliance aligns with NCC expectations.
  • Cleaner sites: water clean-up lowers solvent exposure and simplifies equipment maintenance.
  • Durable finish: won’t re-emulsify once cured; formulated to inhibit biological growth.
  • Aesthetics protected: bitumen/tar-free — won’t stain grout or tiles.

Proactive Troubleshooting

Scenario: Applying over damp or “green” substrates

Potential Outcome: Trapped moisture can cause blistering or adhesion loss, leading to costly callbacks.

Adheseal Best Practice: Verify moisture using RH in-situ probes (ASTM F2170 <75% RH). Where elevated moisture is present, consult for vapour-retarding priming (e.g., multiple coats of compatible primer as per project advice). Always ensure substrates are dry before coating.

Scenario: Expecting foot traffic on finished membrane

Potential Outcome: Premature wear or damage — the system is not trafficable without protection.

Adheseal Best Practice: Use Azcothane Reo in protected systems only. Provide suitable toppings/tiles over cured membrane; do not expose to ongoing traffic.

Applications in Practice: Trade Scenarios

For Waterproofers (Specifier/Engineer): Balcony & Terrace Class III system

The Professional's Challenge

You need an AS 4654.1 Class III membrane with documented performance and compatibility for direct stick tiling, minimising risk of non-conformance and movement-related failures.

The Adheseal Solution

Prime per substrate, detail joints/corners, then apply two coats at 1 m²/L per coat (≈0.5 mm DFT/coat) to achieve Class III build. Allow full cure (~96 h at 25 °C/50% RH) before tiling with compatible adhesives. Internally reinforced membrane simplifies detailing while maintaining compliance.

Best Practice Note

Verify falls to drains and edge terminations before coating. Record WFT/DFT targets on QA sheets; check dry film with combs at corners/edges where thin spots occur most often.

For Tilers (On-site Applicator): Wet area membrane under ceramic finishes

The Professional's Challenge

Tight program, multiple trades, and a need for a seamless wet area membrane that accepts direct stick tiling without complicating the schedule.

The Adheseal Solution

Apply two coats at 1 m²/L per coat with 9–13 mm nap roller. Once fully cured, proceed with direct stick tiling/render. Water clean-up keeps tools and spaces tidy and reduces downtime between coats.

Best Practice Note

Respect recoat windows (4–24 h) and allow full cure prior to tiling. Protect cured membrane from damage during set-out and dry-lay to avoid repairs.

For Builders/Remedial (Business Owner/Operator): Podium waterproofing

The Professional's Challenge

Deliver predictable, NCC-aligned waterproofing with low VOCs and minimal fabric detailing to keep labour under control and reduce call-backs.

The Adheseal Solution

Internally reinforced membrane forms a bonded, seamless system with fewer laps. Low VOC supports indoor works. Document substrate strength (≥20 MPa), moisture (e.g., RH <75% via F2170), and primer selection to lock down QA.

Best Practice Note

Pre-plan penetrations and terminations. Use mock-ups to confirm coverage rates and finish before full production to avoid rework.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Azcothane Reo suitable as a trafficable membrane?

No — it is not a trafficable system. Use it in protected assemblies. Once fully cured, apply tiles/toppings as specified to provide the wearing surface and protect the membrane from damage.

When can I tile over Azcothane Reo?

At 25 °C and 50% RH, allow approximately 96 hours for full cure before tiling or topping. Recoat after 4–24 hours. Always verify actual site conditions and ensure the membrane is fully cured.

Which standards does it meet?

It is tested as a Class III membrane to AS 4654.1 and meets AS 4858 wet area membrane requirements, aligning with NCC expectations for waterproofing systems.

Applying Azcothane Reo: Enhanced Protocols & Best Practices

  1. Surface Preparation

    Ensure substrates are sound, dry, clean and free of laitance/contaminants. Verify concrete strength (≥20 MPa) and moisture (e.g., RH <75% via F2170). Treat cracks/joints as specified.

    Laitance Removal

    Shot-blast (preferred) or grind to obtain a clean, profiled surface for optimum adhesion.

    Crack & Joint Treatment

    For >1.6 mm non-structural cracks, grind to ~6 mm and seal (1:1 width:depth). Apply 150 mm wide detail coat over treated areas.

    Timing: Proceed to priming only when substrate is demonstrably dry and prepared.
    Pro Tip: Record moisture readings and prep method in QA logs — it’s the simplest way to avoid callbacks.
  2. Priming

    Prime per substrate: porous with Primeseal MC (preferred) or WB Primer/Maxiprime; metals with ME Primer; plastics with Superprime 711. Allow primers to cure as per their TDS.

    Vapour Retardation

    Where required, apply two coats of Primeseal MC in line with project advice.

    Detailing Aids

    Use appropriate bandages (e.g., Durascrim/Leak-Seal/DualFlex) at joints and corners as specified.

    Timing: Do not apply below 4 °C or above 43 °C substrate temperature.
    Pro Tip: Excessively porous substrates may require multiple primer coats — check absorption by spot testing.
  3. Membrane Application

    Apply with a 9–13 mm nap roller. For waterproofing: two coats at 1 m²/L per coat (≈0.5 mm DFT/coat). For water-resistant (non-tanking) walls: one coat at ~1 m²/L as specified.

    Reinforced Detail (where required)

    Embed Durascrim into a wet coat, working out wrinkles, then apply two further coats over the reinforced zone.

    Build & Verification

    Target ~1.0 mm WFT per coat to achieve ~0.5 mm DFT. Check film thickness at corners/edges.

    Timing: Recoat after 4–24 h. Full cure ≈96 h at 25 °C/50% RH before tiling/topping.
    Pro Tip: Protect the cured membrane from damage during set-out and lay — repairs slow programs.
  4. Clean-up

    Use water for wet spills/equipment. Allow spills on carpet to cure then shave — do not attempt wet clean-off.

    Timing: Clean tools immediately after use to maintain performance.
    Pro Tip: Keep fresh water and clean cloths on hand to maintain a tidy workspace and reduce turnaround time.
