Description
ALIPHATIC CLEARCOAT is one component, crystal clear, solvent based, liquid applied waterproofing membrane based on aliphatic PU resins. It is ideal for the most demanding applications of protection and waterproofing of interior and exterior horizontal and vertical surfaces where transparency is required. The special high solids formula forms a 100% waterproof elastic membrane while the surface remains walkable. It ensures a durable long-lasting finish without yellowing.
ADVANTAGES
- Excellent resistance to UV radiation
- Does not yellow
- Forms a walkable uniform seamless membrane
- Elastic and hard at the same time
- Water vapour permeability
- Maintains its mechanical properties over a temperature range of -40oC up to +90oC
- Excellent bonding
- Excellent spreading
- Resistance to chalking – aliphatic technology
- Highly resistant to ponding water
- Good resistance to friction and mechanical stress
- High resistance to water and mild detergents
- Ensures a durable finish
- Resistance to pedestrian traffic
- Highly effective, easily applied
APPLICATIONS
- Sealing and protection of surfaces where a transparent system is required. Suitable for terraces, balconies, roofs, canopies and walls made of tiles, stone, cement, wood, decorative cement mortars, cement mortars, polycarbonate sheets, glass, metals.
- Highly recommended for use as a binder and sealer in “Flake Floors”, “Stone Carpets” decorative applications in combination with colored quartz, natural stones, etc.
- Seals broken glass while retaining shards.

Instructions for use
Substrate preparation
Careful surface preparation is very important for optimum finish and durability.
- The surface needs to be clean, dry, sound and free of any contamination that may harmfully affect the adhesion of the membrane.
- Maximum substrate moisture content should not exceed 5%.
- Old, loose coatings, dirt, fats, oils, organic substances and dust need to be removed by mechanical means such as a sanding machine.
Application
A. TRANSPARENT WATEPROOFING
Priming
- Apply directly to absorbent surfaces like concrete, cement screed, wood without use of primer.
- Apply ADHESIL to non-porous or difficult surfaces (metal, ceramic tiles, plastics) as an adhesion promoter.
- Surfaces that exhibit excessive moisture must fully dry before application of ALIPHATIC CLEARCOAT.
Application
- Apply at least two coats of ALIPHATIC CLEARCOAT thinned up to 5% with solvent DIL X 100.
- Wait at least 4 but no more than 24 hours between coats. Do not spread more than 0,4kg/m2 on each layer for better results. Total recommended consumption: 0,2 – 1,0kg/m2.
Β. STONE CARPET
- Prime the substrate with solvent-free epoxy primer EPOXITE DRY MAX WET 200 – 350gr/m2. While the primer is wet, to achieve better adhesion, apply M32 quartz sand ~1kg/m2.
- In 12 – 24 hours for temperatures of 30oC and 18oC respectively, the unadhered grains of sand are removed with a broom and the application of the Stone-Carpet resin mortar begins.
- In a bucket, mix with a low-speed mixer the special aggregates for creating Stone - Carpet (1mm - 4mm grain size) with ALIPHATIC CLEARCOAT in a ratio of 10:1 by weight.
- Once the resin is fully mixed with the aggregates, spread with a smooth trowel on the floor in a thickness equal to at least 3 times the maximum grain size of the aggregates: for aggregate grain size 0.8 – 1.2mm the minimum application thickness is calculated as 3 * 1.2mm = 3.6mm.
- After 18 to 24 hours apply a sealing coat of ALIPHATIC CLEARCOAT to the Stone Carpet floor: ~0.25kg/m2.
C. FLAKE FLOOR SEALER
- Firstly, the PU-FLEX system is applied outdoors.
- After the application of the 1-component aliphatic polyurethane Topcoat PU FLEX 2000 ~0,2kg/m2, and while the surface is still wet, apply the special flakes for "FLAKE FLOOR".
- After 14 – 24 hours a layer of ALIPHATIC CLEARCOAT is applied to seal the flakes ~0,25kg/m2.
Attention
For best results, the temperature during coating and curing should be between 15oC and 25oC.
Cleaning
Clean all equipment immediately after use with polyurethane solvent DILX 100
Remarks
Surfaces that have been treated in the past with water blocking or stain blocking siloxane water based or solvent based impregnations might cause adhesion problems. It is recommended to test a small area for compatibility prior to full-scale application.
The product is intended for professional users only.
Packages that have been opened cannot be re-stored. The product must be applied immediately after opening the package.
The product contains solvents. Adequate ventilation must be provided when applying indoors.
Due to the specificity and diversity of many building surfaces, it is recommended to make a test application on a small surface to check the behavior of the material with the substrate before full – scale application.
Must not be used on surfaces with permanent contact with swimming pool water.
