Details
Black Hydro Easy is a multi-purpose, thixotropic, liquid bituminous waterproofing compound consisting of inert fillers, elastomeric resins and special additives. Suitable for waterproofing foundation walls in contact with the ground, for sealing and finishing in roof waterproofing, and for bonding insulation panels.
Black Hydro Easy is a surface protection coating in accordance with EN 1504-2, Type C, and complies with principles 1.3 (protection against ingress), 2.2 (moisture control) and 8.2 (increased resistivity) in accordance with EN 1504-9, and is classified under UNI EN 14891 as class DM O2.
Instructions for use
Preparation for application
Substrate surfaces must be sound and dry, clean and free from release agents, dust, loose or non-adhering material and general dirt, with no paint film residues. Stir before use.
Application instructions
‘Black Hydro Easy’ can be applied using a roller, brush, spray, wide-bristle brush, trowel or notched trowel, and it is advisable to apply two coats. To facilitate application on large surfaces, it is recommended to dilute the product with up to 10 per cent water. Apply the second coat wet-on-wet if the first coat has been primed; otherwise, apply once the first coat is completely dry, after 24–48 hours, depending on environmental conditions and the porosity of the substrate.
Cleaning
Clean the tools used with water immediately after use. You may try to remove dried product with hot water; otherwise, it must be removed using standard synthetic thinners.
Storage
Black Hydro Easy remains stable for at least 24 months if kept in its original packaging and stored at temperatures between +5 °C and +30 °C. DO NOT FREEZE.
Warnings
- Apply the product at a temperature of at least +5 °C and when no fog, rain or frost is forecast, whilst avoiding extreme cold or heat. It is sensitive to frost! Once frozen, it cannot be salvaged. Temperatures above +35 °C impair the product’s workability by accelerating the drying of the surface film.
- Avoid applying the product to new, freshly laid bituminous surfaces, which may still be releasing hydrocarbons and could cause adhesion problems for the film on the membrane.
- To prevent the formation of bubbles, when using ‘Black Hydro Easy’ on floor slabs or particularly damp substrates, appropriate vapour vents must be fitted to allow the condensation forming beneath the waterproofing membrane to escape.
- Do not exceed the recommended quantity per coat (see consumption) so as not to prevent the evaporation of the water contained in the liquid bituminous product, which would otherwise remain trapped beneath the dried film.
- On surfaces larger than 10 m² or subject to stress, it is recommended to reinforce Black Hydro Easy with suitable Torggler Tessuto NT 50 reinforcement fabric, embedded in the first coat whilst it is still fresh.
- When waterproofing foundations with Black Hydro Easy, these must be further covered with suitable protective layers to prevent the membrane from being cut during backfilling operations.
- It may be walked on occasionally for routine maintenance.
- Do not use on surfaces subject to rising damp or high water pressure.
- If covered with ceramic tiles, use Class C2 S1 cementitious adhesives.
