700-01 is a waterproof emulsion composed of vacuum-reduced asphalt dispersed in a mineral colloid emulsifier. It is odourless, non-toxic, of heavy brush consistency, exhibiting excellent adhesion to both damp and dry construction surfaces. The cured coating presents a stable, ductile coating impervious to sustained contact with water. Environmentally friendly material containing no asbestos or volatile compounds.
Used as a waterproofing compound in membrane systems to control hydrostatic pressure or may be applied as a simple coating for dampproofing concrete and masonry. Ideal for insulated concrete forms (ICF), preserved wood foundations (PWF), foundation walls, footings, split-slab floors, retaining walls and wing walls.
Protect new work from rain or water from any source until cured. Do not apply material to excessively wet surfaces. For applications below 5 Celsius, use 710-11. See 710-11 Data Sheet.
Surface must be sound, free from frost, grease, oil, or loose material. Masonry mortar must be finished clean and smooth and concrete free from fins, honeycomb or other surface irregularities. Dry surfaces should be dampened with water just prior to application of the coating to improve bond. Apply 700-01 diluted 20% by volume with clean water at the rate of 0.5 l/m2 and let dry as the primer coat. Priming is not required on insulated concrete forms (ICF) or preserved wood foundations (PWF)
