Brushbond RFX BD Price

High performance elastomeric cementitious waterproof coating.Welcome to Fortimix BD Construction

Description:

Brushbond RFX is a two-component acrylic polymer modified cementitious coating which consists of Brushbond RFX powder and Brushbond RFX liquid acrylic emulsion. It requires only the addition of clean water at site to produce an easily brushable coating. Brushbond RFX can simply be applied by stiff brush, roller or trowel to obtain the desired thickness.

Uses:

Brushbond RFX is a high performance elastomeric cementitious coating used for waterproofing and to protect atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete structures from attack by acid gases, chloride ions, oxygen & water.Brushbond RFX is suitable for all types of structures including those in coastal environments.The product can be used on concrete, brick and blockwork sub states and is equally suitable for new and existing structures. The product is designed to reface and even out variations in concrete and masonry surfaces and bridge shrinkage cracks. It provides a seamless, flexible waterproof coating suitable for water tanks, reservoirs, drainage culverts basements, roofs, toilets & wet areas. The product provides a tough durable water-resistant coating which can withstand light pedestrian traffic and also has excellent weather resistance for exterior applications.

•  Good crack accommodation capacity.
•  Minimum surface preparation needed and low lab our costs.

Standards compliance:

Tested to ASTM D4060, ASTM D4541, ASTM D638, ASTM C836.

Application Instructions Surface Preparation

All surfaces which are to receive the coating must be free from oil, laitance, grease, wax, dirt or any other form of foreign matter which might affect adhesion. Typically concrete surfaces can be cleaned using high pressure water jet or grit blasting or by proper wire brushing. Spalled surfaces or those containing large blow holes, cracks and other such defects should be repaired using Renderoc concrete repair mortars. For further advice on suitable repair mortars, contact the local Fosroc Office.

Mixing:

Brushbond RFX liquid concentrate should be poured into a plastic container or metal drum. Clean fresh water is added in the proportions shown below and mixing commenced with a propeller agitator attached to a slow speed drill (500pm). The powder component should be added gradually to the liquid to avoid lump formation and mixed for 2-4 minutes. Brushbond RFX should be immediately used after mixing. Do not mix more material than can be used within the pot life. Keep stirring Brushbond RFX during the application.

Application:

For best results, surfaces should be damp. In order to obtain the protective properties of Brushbond RFX, it is important that the correct rates of application are observed. Use a short stiff brush preferably 120-150mm width and apply the mixed material like paint. constructive solutionsThe application of Brushbond RFX should not be done if the temperature of the substrate is below 100C. When applying Brushbond RFX on hot substrates i.e., over 300C surface temperature, saturate the surface with water. Apply BrushbondRFX in 2 coats to achieve 1mm thickness. The second coat of Brushbond RFX shall be applied as soon as the first coat has reached touch dry state. It is recommended that for general surfacing Brushbond RFX should be applied at a minimum thickness of 1mm. Areas subjected to moderate and heavy loads/hydrostatic pressure, minimum 2mm thickness coating is recommended with screed above.Allow the Brushbond RFX coating to dry before covering with screed. Sprinkle coarse sand on wet surface of final coating for better adhesion of screed.Average drying time is 4 to 6 hours at normal temperatures.

Cleaning:

Brushbond RFX should be removed from tools and equipment with clean water immediately after use. Hardened material can only be removed mechanically.
