Is a two-component epoxy resin based water thinnable coating that has been specially formulated for internal applications and for the waterproofing treatment of water tanks. It possesses excellent water resistance, adhesion, hardness & toughness properties similar to solvent based epoxy compositions.
Features & Benefits

Water dilutable with high covering capacity & hence economical.
Being water based it can be applied over damp concrete/plaster surfaces and thus provides excellent water-resistant coating.
Reduces water permeability.
Provides excellent adhesion to all cementitious substrates & after curing it gives a hard tough film.
Excellent resistance to water, salt water, mild acids, alkalis & soap water.
Can be applied from both sides of water pressure.
Non-toxic, non-hazardous and non-flammable property.
Can be used as a primer for water based/solvent based paints.
Possesses anti-fungal property and is resistant to microorganisms.

Method of Application

SURFACE PREPARATION
Clean the surfaces thoroughly, as they should be free from oil, grease, dust, debris, fungus and moss.
Thorough wire brushing and followed by sanding with emery paper is recommended.
Remove the existing paint, neroo or instant lime, etc. while treating internal damp walls.
MIXING:
First stir the Base and Hardener thoroughly in their individual packs to achieve the uniform consistency.
Pour the Base part in appropriate container followed by the Hardener part and mix them thoroughly together to a homogeneous smooth paste.
Dilute the mixed compound with water (In ratio of 1 part Base: 1 part Hardener: 1 water) by slow addition and mix it thoroughly until a brushable consistency is obtained.
APPLICATION

WATERPROOFING OF RCC WATER TANKS :
Prepare a groove in the crack 1 mm to 5 mm. Clean the dust by washing it with water.
Fill the cracks/ grooves with Dr. Fixit Dampguard modified putty & allow it to dry for at least 24 hrs.
Apply the first brush coat of mixed quantity of Dr. Fixit Dampguard. Allow to dry for 6 to 8 hrs
In case of several leakage problems due to more cracks on the walls, apply Dr. Fixit Dampguard –OPC/ white cement Putty on the entire surface area. Allow it to dry for at least 24 hrs.
Apply second brush coat of mixed Dr. Fixit Dampguard. Allow it to cure completely for 24 hrs before applying a cement sand plaster on wall or a screed on floors.
The treatment of Dr. Fixit Dampguard can also be kept open, as the product possesses the non-toxic property. In such situations allow it to cure for minimum 3-4 days prior to storage of the water. The treatment of Dampguard then must be cleaned with the help of damp cloth/sponge and plenty of water prior to storage the water.
DR. FIXIT DAMPGUARD – OPC/White Cement Putty

Mix DR. FIXIT DAMPGUARD (1part Base & 1part Hardener) thoroughly, add 2 parts of Ordinary Portlandor white cement and add required amount of water to get a plaster like consistency.
DAMP PROOFING OF VERTICAL INTERNAL WALLS:

Clean the existing substrate as mentioned earlier in the surface preparation section.
Apply two brush coats of mixed Dr. Fixit Dampguard at an interval of 6 hrs.
Allow it to dry for minimum 24 hours before applying a cement sand plaster on walls before painting. Dr. Dampguard modified putty can also be used in case of cracks observed on internal damp walls.
