EMULSION DAMPPROOFING
Fibered  

DESCRIPTION
ALCO Fibered Emulsion Dampproofing consists of a non-asbestos fiber filled, emulsified asphalt and a clay base. It is designed to be sprayed or brushed directly to masonry block or poured concrete walls. It provides a thick, extremely smooth dampproof coating for below grade applications.

USE
Ideal for reducing dampness and moisture infiltration through foundation walls, footings, retaining walls, tanks, culverts, and bridge abutments. Installation of protection board is recommended before backfilling to protect dampproofing application.

ADVANTAGES
· Easy application – Spray or Brush
· Ready to use from the container
· Fast and economical way to protect concrete and masonry foundations from moisture penetration
· Can be applied on “green” concrete

PREPARATION
The surface being coated must be clean and free of oils, form release agents, dust, dirt, etc., that may interfere with the adhesion of this product. This material will not span large cracks. All voids, cracks and rod holes must be repaired before application. This can be done with ALCO 24/7 Flashing Cement and membrane where applicable. Material may be applied on damp surfaces but should not be attempted if rain is imminent.

APPLICATION
Stir material to even consistency and color. Emulsion type dampproofing is the breather-type which permits moisture vapor to escape through the film, while remaining resistant to water penetration. This prevents blistering of applied film, while remaining resistant to water penetration. This material can be applied to green concrete (not totally dry).

BRUSH:  Using a soft bristle brush, apply in a continuous, unbroken film, free of pinholes and overexposed footings, slots or grooves, etc

SPRAY:  Use Graco 9:1 ratio pump or equal, capable of delivering 3 – 5 gallons per minute and a pole gun with a 3/32” tip. A ¾” I.D. material hose and a ½” I.D. air hose from the pump to the gun is preferred for most applications.

Allow 2 days to cure before backfilling.

APPROXIMATE COVERAGE
One Coat Application          40 SF/Gallon
Two Coat Application        100 – 200 SF/Gallon
Coverage may be less, depending on the porosity of the surface being covered.
