Professional Basement, Foundation & Crawlspace Waterproofing Contractors in Warrington

All KEMPEROL waterproofing systems are cold applied. All are reinforced with KEMPEROL fleece, which means that the KEMPEROL waterproofing systems are applied wet in wet or fresh in fresh in a two-layer process (initial layer - fleece insert - final layer).

In the case of single-component products, e.g. KEMPEROL 1K-PUR, partial quantities can be removed without special measures. In the case of multi-component products, the partial quantities of the individual components must be weighed out in advance.

A complete structure consists of a primer, waterproofing and a coating. As a rule, a KEMPERTEC EP / EP5 primer is used as a primer. In general, the primer recommendation should be observed. KEMPEROL 1K-PUR or KEMPEROL 2K-PUR waterproofing is used as a sealant. For the coating, various systems are available according to customer requirements. These are the KEMPERDUR Deko or KEMPERDUR Deko 2K coating, KEMPERDUR HB thick coating, KEMCO Decor Stone, KEMPERDUR quartz coating or KEMPERDUR TC with different variants. However, a complete AC structure is also possible. This consists of KEMPERTEC AC Primer, KEMPEROL AC Speed Waterproofing, KEMPERDUR AC Coating and KEMPERDUR AC Finish.

The time span for the earliest possible application of a subsequent layer / wear layer is specified here. This time span is determined on the one hand by the achievement of sufficient strength or curing and on the other hand by the possibly necessary outgassing (evaporation) of solvents. Depending on the weather, subsequent layers should be applied within a period of 14 days.

The pot life of reactive materials is the time during which the product can be applied. It is sometimes also called "period of use". It is therefore the time between mixing a multi-component product (or, in the case of one-component products, the opening of the container) and the end of its usability, i.e. the period of time in which the substance can still be "taken out of the pot". In most cases, the end of the pot life is indicated by a significant increase in viscosity (increase in toughness), which prevents further application. With our products, the pot life and workability time are not generally the same. The change in viscosity influences the absorbency and saturation behaviour considerably (in relation to the substrate or fleece) As a rule of thumb, products with a viscosity significantly greater than that of liquid honey should no longer be applied.
