How To Use

Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be prepared thoroughly before commencing. Surfaces are to be sound, stable, dry and clean, free of loose foreign matter including any surface residues or existing coatings. Buildings are to be constructed to relevant building standards and manufacturer’s recommendations are to be followed for all building materials used.

Gripset Betta waterproofing system is made up of 3 stages:

• Priming
• Detailing
• Membranes

Priming

Priming is an important step in the application to optimise surface adhesion. Recommended primers for UNDER TILE MEMBRANE

• Prep coat 7 additive: Non tack primer coat for porous surfaces
• Super Primer: For non porous and smooth surfaces
• Damp Stomp: For surfaces subjected to rising damp or residual moisture
• 
  

Membrane Coverage

A minimum of 2 coats is to be applied at a total minimum coverage of 1.5 Litre/m², forming a dried film thickness of approx 1.2mm. For vertical or pitched applications, coverage of 1Litre/m² can be considered. Apply subsequent coats at different directions to the previous coat. Coverage is dependent upon surface condition; greater coverage may be required on uneven and porous surfaces. Apply by roller, brush or spray unit.

General Information

Drying time

* Based on normal ambient conditions of 20ºC.
Temperature, humidity and porosity will vary dry times.

Note – Once dried, ensure surface is wiped clean before tiling to remove any residues.

Note 

Not to be used as a trafficable surface

• Do not apply outside when rain is imminent
• Do not apply to surface temperatures below 5°C or above 35°C
• Not to be used in areas where solvent or petroleum based products may be spilled
• In areas subject to negative pressure or rising damp, first treat with Betta Damp Stop primer
• Finish toppings must be water based and solvent free
• Allow 10 days drying if treated area is to be flood tested

Tips

• Before commencing the application, adhesion of products to be used (primers, membranes, coatings) should be tested over a typical area of the prepared surface to ensure satisfactory adhesion
• Incorporate Gripset Betta Prep Coat & Additive into renders/ screeds to be applied over membrane
• Betta Cemseal & Fix tile adhesive or polymer modified cement based adhesives to be used for tiling over membrane

Clean up

In water while wet. Once product is dried it needs to be removed mechanically or by solvent.

Storage

• Best stored at room temperature
• Avoid cold freezing conditions and off concrete floor
• Do not store in direct sunlight
• Shelf life is 12 months in original unopened container
