Working with Liquid-applied
Waterproofing membrane
Anydron 2K is a PU liquid-applied coatings system that produces a seamless 100% waterproof surface
It is used as a waterproofing membrane on a number of constructions such as
• Flat rooftops
• Balconies
• polyurethane foam insulation
• bridges
• Foundations
• Flowerbeds
• water tanks
• Synthetic membranes
Uses
• Extraordinary resilience to high and low temperatures
• 10+ years lifetime
• High elasticity enabling bridging of cracks
Key Benefits
• Cool roof properties
• Resistant to stagnant (ponding) water
• Flexibility in adding extra coatings, patching, working on existing roofs with obstacles
Key Benefits
Application Procedure
The surface must be completely dry, free of loose material, dust, mould, oils, greases etc.
Surface Preparation
When coating over previously applied coatings make sure that any loose parts have been removed and that the area has been properly cleaned.
It you are unsure when working over a previous coating, it is advisable to perform a test application over a small area first.
Surface Preparation
It is recommended to prepare the surface by grinding or sanding.
Always make sure that the surface in question is suitable for the surface preparation method that you plan to use.
Surface Preparation
If the application area is washed with water, ensure that it has completely dried before starting work
Surface Preparation
So what about priming the surface?
It is always recommended to prime the surface to enable maximum adhesion and performance of the coating.
We recommend two different primers depending on the need:
Priming
Ktisoplast Primer An acrylic water-based primer suitable for porous concrete and cement surfaces
Priming
Ktisepox Hydro PR A 2-component Water-based epoxy primer that can deal with many challenging surfaces such as:
• Bitumen
• Marble
• Metal
• Terrazo
• Tiles
• Cement/ Concrete
Priming
Cracks and joints should be repaired with Ktisodur PU or Acrylic Mastic and let to dry for at least 2 hours before applying.
Filling Cracks and Joints
Let’s get to Work!
Pour the contents of can B into bucket A. The mixing of the two materials needs to be consistent (with a mixer) and should last for at least 3-4 minutes at 300rpm.
Preparing Anydron 2K
The product can be applied with one of the following methods:
• Roller
• brush
• airless spray gun
Applying Anydron 2K
Apply at least two layers of the material. The second layer should be applied within 18-36 hours.
Applying Anydron 2K
It is also possible to add an additional protective layer of KTISOPUR UV (coloured PU coating) or Anydron TR (transparent coating) on top.
The top layer makes the coating more durable to frequent traffic loads as well as providing longer-term resistance.
Adding a protective topcoat
Anydron 2K can also be applied together with a fibre mesh sheet to create a stronger layer
Strengthening the Membrane
IMPORTANT
POINTS
Humidity
Products like Anydron 2K are extremely sensitive to humid surfaces. Therefore all application should be carried out with dry surfaces. When applying on fresh concrete wait at least 28 days before applying.
Humidity
Furthermore when working during winter and humid months avoid applying the product early in the morning when surfaces may be damp because of night-time humidity
Under no circumstances should water be added as a
diluting agent!
