Application Procedure
Preparing the substrate
All substrates must be mechanically strong, free of dirt, oil, grease, paint, laitance, concrete sealers, efflorescence, or curing compounds. Any grease or wax must be removed from old ceramic floors using a basic detergent. Screeds and concrete must be completely cured, at least 30 days for screeds and 3 months for concrete. Prime highly absorbent surfaces like lightweight concrete with Seal Primer or DCI Grip Primer to improve adhesion. For exterior applications, always maintain expansion joints from the substrate and treat with DCI Tape W12. For all coves, corners, columns, expansion joints, floor/wall transitions, and other changes in substrate plane, treat with appropriate TAPE before application of Seal Master.
Preparing the product
Pour the B component (liquid) into a suitable, clean container, then slowly add the A component (powder) while stirring with a mechanical mixer making sure that no powder remains stuck on the bottom or to the sides of the container. Continue stirring until a homogenous mixture is formed. Use a low-speed mechanical mixer for this preparation to avoid too much air being dragged into the mix. Do not prepare the mix by hand. Preparation of Seal Master can also be made with a mortar mixer, which is usually connected with the mortar sprayer. In this case, make sure that the mixture is homogenous before it is poured into the pump’s hopper.
Applying the product
Apply Seal Master within 60 minutes after preparation. Applied on the prepared surface to a feather edge with a thin layer of Seal Master with a smooth trowel or brush; then, while the first coat is still fresh, apply a second coat to form a final thickness of at least 2 mm thick. In the case of waterproofing terraces, balconies, basins, and swimming pools, we recommend embedding alkali-resistant reinforcement mesh in the first layer of Seal Master while it is still fresh. The mesh must be used in areas with either small cracks or regions under particular stress. After installing the mesh, finish off the surface with a flat trowel and apply a second layer of Seal Master when the first one has set (after 4-5 hours). After applying Seal Master, wait 5 days for curing before laying ceramic tiles.
Installing the tiles
Wait approx one day after applying Seal Master before installing tiles and using a C2 adhesive.
