Frequently Asked Questions About Gripset C-1P
Q: What is Gripset C-1P used for?
A: Gripset C-1P is a one-component, fibre-reinforced flexible cementitious waterproof membrane designed for both positive and negative waterproofing applications, including basements, retaining walls, water tanks, and wet areas.
Q: Can Gripset C-1P be used for submerged applications?
A: Yes, it is waterproof and suitable for continuously wet and immersed environments such as swimming pools and water features.
Q: What surfaces can Gripset C-1P be applied to?
A: It can be applied to concrete, masonry, compressed fibre cement sheeting, aerated concrete panels, and plasterboard.
Q: How is Gripset C-1P applied?
A: It can be applied using a trowel, roller, brush, or spray unit. A minimum of two coats is required for optimal performance.
Q: Does Gripset C-1P require a primer?
