TREATMENT TO
FLOOR OF OLD TERRACES, CHAJJAS
AND PARAPET WALLS:
The roof waterproofing material
to be used shall be Traffigard
Liquid Roof Waterproofing
System. The System shall be
single component ready-mixed
100% heavy-bodied acrylic
polymer gel roofing membrane
consisting of five layers, with
a nominal thickness of 0.8mm
inclusive of the chopped strand fibre-glass reinforcement for
high tear resistance. The
reinforcement used shall be
225gsm emulsion bond chopped
strand fibre-glass mat. The
Traffigard system shall be a
seamless waterproofing membrane
when cured, and vapour permeable
allowing vapour to transmit at a
rate of 42.87g/m2 over 24 hours.
Traffigard shall be flexible and
passes the 3mm mandrel (ASTM D
1737), and shall be able to
bridge hairline cracks.
Traffigard system shall remain
stable after 2,000 hours
exposure in the QUV
Weatherometer (ASTM D882).
Traffigard shall also be able to
withstand regular foot traffic
as well as light-wheeled
traffic. The
elongation of the Traffigard
system shall be at least 180%
(ASTM D882) and tensile strength
shall be 16.8 N/mm2 (ASTM D412).
The impact resistance according
to ASTM D2794 using a 2kg weight
through a 1m fall, shall show no
crack or detachment from the
substrate. The Traffigard System
shall be resistant to some
diluted acids, oil, weak
solvents, diluted alkalis and
most detergent solutions.
Traffigard material shall be
supplied in 20 litres container,
at least 55% solids content by
weight. Cleaning the surface for
treatment by removing dust, dirt
etc by wire brushing & water
jetting.
Providing and carrying out
TRAFFIGARD exposed waterproofing
system in one coat of primer,
one coat of TRAFFIGARD BODY COAT
and immediately laying chopped
strand fiber glass mat
immediately covered by second BODYCOAT and then coating the
complete area with one coat of
TRAFFIGARD TOPCOAT. |
