Application
The subatrates must be clean and mechanically consistent, any holes or irregularities in the substrate must be previously repaired with suitable Kimia products. In case of waterproofing of already tiled surfaces, remove the first row of wall tiles for a height of about 20 cm, perform an acid washing of the surface with Soluzione P. In the case of degraded concrete substrates it will be necessary to check the depth of the degradation and proceed with a proper cortical restoration cycle. Between 8 and 24 hours prior to the start of operations, the screeds must be treated with a coat of Kimicover FIX MV primer. The points of contact between the screed and the collection wells, the tiles removed, the external edges of the joints, cleaned and possibly rebuilt, will be waterproofed by applying Kimicover JOINT P and application of Kimicover 501 reinforced with Kimitech 120 mesh. The joints between the wall and the floor will be waterproofed by applying Kimicover JOINT and applying Kimicover 501 reinforced with Kimitech 120 mesh. The joints will be waterproofed by laying Ethafoam, sealing with Tecnoseal 130 or Tecnoseal 88 (which must be left to cure at least 24 hours before laying Kimicover JOINT elastic strip. The distance between the joints must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis) of the type of substrates and the expected stresses. Kimicover 501 is a single-component product ready to use with the addition of drinking water in the quantities shown in the table. It is applied by brush, roller or airless pump in at least two coats in 12 hours, impregnating in the first a layer of Kimitech 120 or Kimitech TNT mesh.
