Cemflex™

Waterproofer and Abrasion Resistant Protective Layer

Cemflex™ is a milky liquid concentrate which, when mixed with water and Portland Cement forms an effective waterproofing slurry with high strength and abrasion resistance. This slurry is applied in conjunction with Sealoflex Fabric™ as reinforcement.

Uses

Cemflex™ is used for waterproofing of:
• Almost any masonry surface such as retaining walls and foundation walls
• As a primer under mortar type products to enhance bonding
• As an additive to cement mortar type mixes to enhance adhesive, strength and waterproofing.

Advantages

• Very good wear resistance
• Easy to use
• Non toxic
• Ideal for subterranean waterproofing
• Excellent adhesion

Mixing

NOTE: See information under " Precautions" prior to mixing.

Cemflex™ slurry is prepared by mixing Cemflex™, water and Portland cement in the ratio 1 gallon Cemflex™ to 1 gallon water to 30 pounds cement. This is approximately equivalent to the following volumetric mix; 1 part Cemflex™ to 1 partwater to 3 part Portland cement.  Mix Cemflex™ and water first, then add cement slowly while mixing. It is preferable to use a slow speed mechanical mixer. Mixing should continue until slurry is totally homogeneous and lump-free. The slurry should be mixed periodically during application to prevent settlement.

Surface Preparation

Concrete, mortar and masonry surfaces must be clean, free from grease, dirt, oil and loosely adhering particles. Saturate absorbent surfaces thoroughly with water. Remove any free standing water.

Application

Apply the Cemflex™ slurry by brush to the prepared surface and immediately embed the Sealoflex Fabric™ into the wet slurry, smoothing out any bubbles or creases with the brush. Cover the fabric with more Cemflex™ slurry to full saturate the fabric and allow to dry. A final generous coat of Cemflex™ slurry is applied to complete the application.  When using Cemflex™ as a waterproofer adjacent rows of fabric should overlap by a minimum of 3”.

Curing

Protect from wind and direct sunlight. Allow Cemflex™ to cure 48 hours before backfilling. In dry or hot conditions periodically mist with clean water after initial set for the first 24 hours.

Cleaning

Clean all tools and equipment with clean water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.

Precautions

During the summer months the ingredients of the slurry (Cemflex™, water, cement) may be very warm and may cause premature setting of the slurry.  To prevent this, it is recommended to make the 1 part water component from 50% ice and 50% water to cool the slurry mix to prevent premature setting.  Always store cement and Cemflex™ in a cool, dry place prior to mixing.
