ARMORCOAT 1K
Flexible Cementitious Waterproof Membrane
Product Description
ARMORCOAT -1K is a high performing polymer modified one component cementitious membrane, which is mixed with water to form a dense, semi-flexible waterproof barrier.
ARMORCOAT -1K is designed for positive and negative side waterproofing on concrete and masonry surfaces. ARMORCOAT -1K is suitable for the waterproofing of terraces, balconies, under tiles, bathrooms, water tanks, basements, lift pits and other wet areas.
ARMORCOAT -1K is based on Advanced Polymer technology; it possesses outstanding adhesion, mechanical properties, resistance to frost and salt water, it has enhanced flexibility and excellent crack bridging properties. ARMORCOAT -1K does not contain any ingredient which could negatively affect reinforcement or concrete.
- ARMORCOAT -1K can be used for both negative and positive side waterproofing.
- Can continuously withstand extreme hydrostatic pressure
- It is certified for potable water
- Because it is one component, and mixed with water, it is easy to
- Tested up to 6 bar water pressure (60m head of pressure); positive side; tested to 1.5 bar (15m head of pressure) on negative side
- Can withstand foot traffic
- Can be applied to damp and moist substrates and allows concrete breathe
ARMORCOAT -1K can be used for the waterproofing of the following areas:
- Podiums, Terraces, Balconies and under tile areasHIGH PERFOMING POLYMERSwimming Pools, Water Fountains, bathrooms, Kitchens
- Basement walls, internal and external side
- Waterproof coatings of old and new structures, above grade and below grade, positive or negative
- Waterproofing system over concrete blocks, bricks, masonry and mortars
- Sealing static hairline crack in concrete not subject to
- Waterproofing of Foundation and retaining walls
ARMORCOAT -1K can also be used for the Damp proofing treatment of walls and other mineral Substrates.
- Surfaces must be prepared thoroughly before commencing All substrates must be structurally sound, stable, dry, and clean, with substrate compressive strength at a minimum 25MPa and cohesive strength a minimum 1.5MPa.
- Smooth shiny surfaces to be roughened or Rough surfaces are to be evened or filled first with armor Repair Mortar.
- Repair all static crack, honeycombs, all surfaces are to be free from loose material, de-bonded coatings, curing membranes/agents, release agents, wax residues, foreign particles, laitance, algae and moss, grime, oils, animal fats or grease remains structurally unsound layers and surface contaminants are to be mechanically removed by abrasive blasting, blast tracking, grinding or equivalent methods according to International Surface
ARMORCOAT -1K is packed in a 20kg bag and should be mixed as illustrated below:
- Pour 8 Liters of clean water into container, slowly add Armorcoat-1K and continue mixing.
- Mix thoroughly for a period of 3 minutes with a slow mechanical mixer to a slurry
- consistency without any powder or Mixing manually may not achieve optimum product performance.
- Before the application of Armorcoat- 1K, the surface must be made damp (SSD) with water to allow proper adhesion
- Armorcoat-1k must be applied in a minimum of two layers with rollers, brush, trowel or spray
- In areas with Micro cracks or pre-stressed Fiber glass should be used for the application of
- Armorcoat -1K
- Protect fresh application from rain, frost and direct sunlight in very hot
- Armorcoat -1K
- should not be applied in very cold temperatures less than 400F

*All data are based on laboratory conditions. In practice, climatic variations such as humidity and temperature may affect these values
- Do not apply when rain is imminent, However application two hours before rain will still be effective
- Do not add cement, sand or gypsum to ARMORCOAT -1K ARMORCOAT -1K should be applied in two coats, which must not be more than 2mm per coat
- ARMORCOAT -1K should be applied to dampen substrate( SSD) and not surface saturated with water
- ARMORCOAT -1K first and second coat should be applied at the earlier of two hour from each other or as soon as the first coat has
- For large areas, after the application of ARMORCOAT -1K, ARMORSIL self-Absorbent fabric should be installed on the first coat, it should be trowel pressed into the first coat, and the second coat should then be applied after two
- For areas where tiles are to be installed, ARMORCOAT -1K should be allowed to cure for two days before the installation of
ARMORFIX tile adhesive from ARMORSIL can be used for the installation of the ceramic tiles on ARMORCOAT 1K.

ARMORCOAT -1K can be stored in a cool dry place for a period of 12 months.
When still in fresh state ARMORCOAT -1K can be cleaned with copious amount of water. However, after hardening it can only be cleaned from equipment and tools through mechanical means.
ARMORCOAT -1K contains cement that when in contact with bodily fluid may cause irritation and other allergic reaction to those predisposed. Safety gloves and googles should be won when mixing or applying ARMORCOAT -1K.
If ARMORCOAT -1K comes in contact with bodily fluid or eyes rinse immediately with copious amount of water and seek medical attention immediately. Please refer to the most recent MSDS for more information.
