HOW TO APPLY Asian Paints Smartcare Damp Block 2K

SURFACE PREPERATION: Surface under treatment should be strong enough, clean and free from oil or loose materials. Masonry surface should be fully cured prior to
application. In case of efflorescence, cement plaster should be removed from the affected areas up till the brick level. Surface cracks (< 3mm) must be filled with SmartCare Crack Seal. Bigger cracks, damaged portions and hollow areas must be repaired with polymer modified cement mortars. Prior to application the surface must be in Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) condition.

MIXING: Add powder to liquid (2 parts powder & 1 part liquid) slowly while stirring. In case of bulk volume use mechanical stirrer. Mix the entire quantity until a smooth homogeneous slurry without lump is achieved. Keep the slurry undisturbed for 5-6 minutes to release entrapped air during mixing.

APPLICATION PROCESS:

• STEP 1: Apply SmartCare Damp Block 2K slurry by brush or roller over SSD masonry/brick surface.
• STEP 2: Allow the 1st coat to dry for 4-6 hrs (drying depends on ambient temperature) and then apply 2nd coat.
• STEP 3: The 1st coat & 2nd coat must be applied in perpendicular direction for better results.
• STEP 4: Achieve a coverage of 15 sq.ft./kg/coat.
• STEP 5: If the application is being done on bricks, overlay of cementitious screed within 24 to 48 hrs. For screeding use SmartCare Vitalia as an integral waterproofing compound.
• STEP 6: It is essential to cure SmartCare Damp Block 2K/overlay screed for a minimum of 3 to 5 days to ensure full cement hydration.
