General Condition

  • PRODUCT STORAGE AND HANDLING: All materials are to be stored in a clean, dry, and protected area in their original containers sealed and undamaged. Manufacturer’s labels are to be easily visible and intact.
  • PROTECTION OF OTHER WORK: Care and precaution are to be exercised by the waterproofing applicator so as not to damage the work of other trades. The waterproofing applicator is responsible to take all necessary precautions to protect work of other trades during the application procedure.
  • APPLICATION TEMPERATURE: RUBBER FLEX can be applied at atmospheric temperatures as low as -18°C (0°F).​

Usage

RUBBER FLEX is ideal for waterproofing new construction and the maintenance of existing structures. Typical applications of both above and below grade, on horizontal, sloped and vertical surfaces are as follows:

  • Parking garages, Parking decks
  • Below grade wall waterproofing
  • Bridge decks
  • Between Slab waterproofing
  • Reservoirs and Cisterns
  • Roof decks
  • Shower rooms
  • Most titles
  • Poured-in-place concrete
  • Asphalt
  • Tunnels
  • Mechanical rooms
  • Planters
  • Reflection Pools
  • Podium decks finished with concrete pavers
​
In addition to waterproofing, RUBBER FLEX is also used as a protective coating for insulation materials on roofs. RUBBER FLEX can be used to protect the inside and outside of various tanks, including pollution control tanks. RUBBER FLEX can be used as a liquid flashing system, for pitch, pockets, and for small repairs.

Application

  • Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from loose contaminants. Wire brushing and/or scraping of the substrate may be required to adequately prepare surface.
  • Mix RUBBER FLEX by adding activator into the base compound and mixing with a double blade agitator attached to a 12.7 mm (1/2”) drill at a low speed (700 rpm) for a period of not less than 5 minutes.
  • Apply mixed RUBBER FLEX with squeegee, trowel, or spay application. Material must be supplied continuously over a surface at a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm (60 mil) wet. Care should be taken to apply material completely around all projections.
  • For cracks and non-moving joints less than 1.59mm (1/16”) wide, apply RUBBER FLEX as directed, embed reinforcing fabric -mesh into fresh membrane and top dress over the reinforced area with an additional coat of RUBBER FLEX.
  • For flashing applications, cracks larger than 1.59 mm (1/16”) wide, dynamic joints and at terminations, apply RUBBER FLEX as directed, fully embed the prefabricated transition membrane into the freshly cured membrane and top dress the edges of the preformed membrane with an additional coat of RUBBER FLEX.

Clean Up

  • Applicator is responsible for the removal of surplus material and waste material incurred during the application.
  • Equipment and tools may be cleaned using XYLOL.
