Polyflex T

Flexible, Waterproofing and protective slurry mortar

characteristics
► Good adhesion to sound prepared substrates
► Good abrasion resistance
► Easy and fast mixing and application
► Can be mixed to slurry or trowelable consistency
► Non – toxic, therefore suitable for use in potable water
applications
► Improves the concrete/masonry appearance

TDS_Polyflex T_GCC_0519
► Excellent freeze/thaw resistance
► Good protection against water penetration yet allows
the substrate to breathe
► Good protection by forming an anti-carbonation
film. ( 2 mm coating gives an anti-carbonation cover
equivalent to 6 inches of concrete)

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION Surface Preparation
Polyflex T is a superior grade, two - component, polymer All the substrates must be dry and free of dust, dirt, moss,
modified cementitious waterproofing and protective slurry oil, grease and loose particles. All surfaces must be as true
