Description
SWAN MONOPAL is a one component, high performance liquid-applied, pure acrylic, waterproofing material with excellent resistance to weather conditions. It is suitable for weatherproofing old and new building surfaces. Forms an elastic seamless vapor permeable membrane without joints with excellent resistance to humidity as well as high temperatures and UV rays.
ADVANTAGES
- Elastic, seamless, vapor permeable and reflective membrane without joints
- Excellent elasticity – at least 300%
- Superior adhesion on most building surfaces
- Excellent water/humidity resistance
- Maintains its mechanical properties over a temperature span of -10oC to +70oC
- Excellent resistance to ageing and UV rays
- User and environmentally friendly - waterbased
- Easy to apply (one component – ready to use material)
APPLICATIONS
- Waterproofing of rooftops and terraces
- Waterproofing of gutters, domes, cornices, ondulated panels etc
- Waterproofing bitumen and polyurethane hard foam surfaces
- Suitable for concrete surfaces, bitumen material, stone, brickwork, PVC, polyurethane foam, plaster, metal etc

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%.
- New concrete structures need to dry for at least 28 days.
- Old, loose coatings, dirt, fats, oils, organic substances and dust need to be removed by mechanical means such as a sanding machine. Possible surface irregularities need to be smoothened.
Repair of cracks
The careful sealing of cracks and joints before the application is extremely important for long lasting waterproofing results.
- Carefully clean cracks and joints from dust, grease, loose debris.
- Capillary and small cracks up to 3mm must be primed with ISOCRYL PRIMER DUR AQUA water-based primer or ISOCRYL PRIMER DUR solvent-based primer and allow drying. Apply a layer of SWAN MONOPAL. Immediately apply on wet surface polyester fabric (capillaries) or fiberglass tape (small cracks) 30 – 60 gr/m2 respectively and again two more successive layers of SWAN MONOPAL.
- Cracks from 3mm to 20mm and expansion joints are primed with PRIMER PU 900 and then sealed with polyurethane sealant BONDFLEX 290LM.
- Larger cracks and holes are closed – smoothed with the fiber-reinforced repair cement mortar ISOMIX MECHANIC R4 and after the cement has dried apply polyester fabric and two layers of SWAN MONOPAL.
- Assembly points such as water heater bases, air conditioners, stairs, antennas, etc. must be sealed with a thick layer of ISOCRYL REPAIR thixotropic, fiber reinforced roof coating and allow drying before proceeding with the application of SWAN MONOPAL.
Priming
- Prime absorbent surfaces like concrete, cement screed with solvent-based primer ISOCRYL PRIMER DUR, or water-based primer ISOCRYL PRIMER DUR AQUA. Allow drying for 2 – 4 hours.
- Prime non-porous or difficult surfaces (metal, ceramic tiles, plastics) with EPOXITE DUR AQUA.
Application
- Apply SWAN MONOPAL on the primed surface diluted 10% with clean water, using a brush, roller or spray gun. Allow drying for 12 – 14 hours.
- Apply a second layer crossways to the first layer, diluted up to max 5%.
- For extra protection or where required a third layer may be applied.
- Surfaces can be walked on at least after 24 – 48 hours. New treated surfaces exhibit a tackiness at the beginning, which disappears in due time.
- For best results, the temperature during application and cure should be between 8oC and 35oC. Application must be avoided when rain or frost is expected. Make sure that the surface temperature is between 5oC and 35oC as direct sun exposure can increase this to more than 50oC.
RECOMMENDATION
We recommend reinforcement of the entire surface, with fiber cloth, by applying one coat before the reinforcement and 2 coats after. On surfaces with frequent pedestrian traffic, apply a layer of DRYMAX POLYURETHANE TOPCOAT after SWAN MONOPAL to increase abrasion resistance.
ATTENTION
Do not apply SWAN MONOPAL over 0,5 mm thickness per layer (0,5Lt/m2). For best results, the temperature during application and curing should be between 8oC and 35oC. Low temperatures delay curing while high temperatures speed up curing. High humidity may affect the final finish. Do not apply SWAN MONOPAL in negative temperatures or when rain or frost is imminent within the next twenty-four hours.
LIFE EXPECTANCY
SWAN MONOPAL offers a predicted waterproofing duration of 5 years by strictly following its application instructions (substrate preparation, priming, application) using reinforcing fibernet on the entire surface: 50 – 90 gr/m2 and application of the material in at least three layers with a minimum consumption of 1,5kg/m2 or 1kg/m2 with an additional coat of the water-based aliphatic DRYMAX POLYURETHANE TOPCOAT. Check the quality of the surface regularly, as in case the membrane is damaged locally by dropped objects or other inappropriate use it will have to be repaired locally with the material itself.
CLEANING
Clean all tools and equipment with water and soap right after applications. Cured material can be removed only by mechanical means.
