NOVASEAL PLUS is a Masonry Waterproofing sealer based on PLIOLITE POLYMER RESIN featuring
- Excellent water proofing of new or old surfaces
- Excellent efflorescence resistance
- Good alkali and mildew resistance
- Application and adhesion to wet or dry surfaces
- Single pack easy application
- Quick drying
The need for Waterproofing sealers:
Most building today are constructed with porous materials such as stone, brick concrete or plaster, which offer poor insulation against temperature and dampness due to its porosity and is subject to water seepages and leaking.
NOVASEAL PLUS is a high performance coating that fills, seals and waterproofs even damp surfaces. The applied coating forms a strongly adherent impermeable barrier to stop water seepage and efflorescence.
NOVASEAL PLUS dries hard even over damp surfaces or Green concrete. The coating penetrates deeply into the surface to provide excellent adhesion. Because NOVASEAL PLUS contains Pliolite polymers which have excellent alkali resistance, the coatings are not affected by alkali which comes from the lime in the cement.
Application procedure of Novaseal Plus:
1. Surface Preparation:-
As with every painting project surface preparation is the most important step when using NOVASEAL PLUS. Clean the surface thoroughly with a wire brush. Remove all lose and broken mortar, dirt, dust, efflorescence and other foreign matter from all wall surfaces to be painted. For best results also remove old paint by wire brushing, Sand blasting or other suitable means.
2. Filling Cracks and Holes:
All holes and cracks should be filled with suitableCement mix or with NOVASEAL PLUS putty which can be prepared by adding white cement to NOVASEAL PLUS.
NOVASEAL PLUS APPLICATION:
Dilute NOVASEAL PLUS with Turpentine in the ratio of not more than 5:1 (i.e. 20% dilution) by Volume.
For best results apply the first coat with a nylon or polyester bristle brush. Work NOVASEAL PLUS thoroughly into the pores of the masonry. After overnight dry apply the second coat with a brush or masonry roller ( minimum two coats to be applied).
When applying NOVASEAL PLUS in a closed area, such as basement, be certain there is good air flow, open windows and use an exhaust fan to provide adequate ventilation.
Spreading rate:
NOVASEAL PLUS will cover approximately 2 to 2.5 sq meter per litre in two coats depending on the porosity of the surface. In any case the spreading rate should not exceed 2.5 sq. mtr. per litre, otherwise the water proofing properties of NOVASEAL PLUS will be affected.
Dry film thickness of NOVASEAL PLUS in two coats will be approximately 150 microns.
NOVASEAL PLUS is recommended for sealing and waterproofing interior walls including basement walls and also sealing and waterproofing exterior walls. Available in 1 litre, 5 litres and 20 litres packing.
Typical areas where NOVASEAL PLUS can be used are on exterior and interior of Homes, Commercial, Storage units, Water holding tanks, Retaining walls, Concrete planters, Fish Pond, Fountains, Decorative Pools, Masonry Swimming pools.
Water treatment facilities such as outside and underground pumping station. Barrier coating - inside sewage lines, coating concrete storage tanks, concrete warehouse, and below grade storage areas.
