Hidromar Elastic

WATERPROOF and VERY FLEXIBLE mat ideal for swimming pools, pool surrounds, shower trays, etc.

 

GUARANTEE OF WATERTIGHTNESS:


The watertightness of a swimming pool, tank, etc. is the EXCLUSIVE RESPONSIBILITY of the concrete vessel that forms it, as its construction, stability, dimensioning, concrete quality, ground settlement, crack formation, even the actual placement of this waterproofing, are not the responsibility of HIDROMAR ELASTIC. HIDROMAR ELASTIC is fully compliant with the EN 14.891 standard, which means that it remains waterproof even at low (-5ºC) temperatures. These are the limits of the watertightness guarantee offered by HIDROMAR ELASTIC. Therefore, it is advisable to make sure beforehand that the dimensional stability of the structure does not require a higher performance.

  • Application field
  • Instructions of use
  • Technical data
  • ELASTIC waterproofing of swimming pools, ponds, tanks, canals, etc...
  • ELASTIC waterproofing of swimming pool beaches with total safety, for the subsequent laying of ceramic tiles.
  • Waterproofing of ceramic shower trays with maximum elasticity.
  • Waterproofing of balconies, terraces, exterior roofs,...
  • Waterproofing by bridging surfaces with micro-cracks or susceptible to micro-cracks.
  • Prefabricated or/and concrete blocks
  • Earth retaining walls on the outside, subsequently protecting it with a geotextile sheet.
  • Waterproofing of bathrooms, changing rooms, balconies, etc. Ceramic tiles can be laid on top with ADIMAR FLEX.
  • Step 1: the substrates must be resistant, solid, clean of dust, paint, waxes, release agents, oils and grease and perfectly set.
  • Step 2: prior to the application of HIDROMAR ELASTIC, we recommend applying a fibreglass mesh in all corners, corners, drains and expansion joints in order to achieve total waterproofing of these critical points.
  • Step 3: in summer or on very absorbent surfaces, wet the surface with water beforehand until it is saturated, eliminating excess water and avoiding puddles.
  • Step 4: HIDROMAR ELASTIC is a pre-dosed product. Mix the liquid with the powder and mix it OBLIGATORY with an electric mixer. The resulting mixture will be homogeneous. If applied by airless, add 1 litre of extra water per 32 kg mixture.
  • Step 5: apply a 1st coat of HIDROMAR ELASTIC with a brush or fine trowel or pneumatic spray system. This coat should not be more than 2 mm thick.
  • Step 6: let the 1st coat dry for approx. 4 hours.
  • Step 7: apply a 2nd coat of HIDROMAR ELASTIC perpendicular to the 1st coat.

ATTENTION: in swimming pools or tanks, apply at least 2 coats of 1 mm. each in order to withstand positive pressures of maximum 3 bar. The more layers, the more protection, therefore to resist more pressure, increase the number of layers (always apply layers of maximum thickness 1 mm).


LAYING CERAMICS ON HIDROMAR ELASTIC: After 24 to 36 hours (at +20ºC) from the application of HIDROMAR ELASTIC, the ceramic pieces can be glued with a cement glue that complies with the regulations for adhesion on waterproof sheets, such as ADIMAR FLEX.

 


WARNING: HIDROMAR ELASTIC should not be used:

 

  • At temperatures below +5ºC.
  • In thicknesses greater than 1 mm. per layer.
  • On very dry and water-hungry surfaces (especially on hot days).
  • Adding cement or water to the original formula.
  • On unstable concrete structures that require higher technical requirements than those offered by HIDROMAR ELASTIC (consult the Technical Dept.).

HIDROMAR ELASTIC is an ELASTIC mortar for WATERPROOFING all types of building surfaces, whether or not they are subject to deformation. Its characteristics are unique:

  • Very high flexibility and elasticity.
  • Total adherence to the substrate without retraction.
  • Total impermeability.
  • Ceramic finish possible.
  • Excellent workability by brush, fine trowel, roller or even air-less.
  • Resistant to the effects of saline and somewhat acidic water, atmospheric pollution by CO2, SO2, ...
