Description
Kerakoll Aquastop Fix Waterproofing Sealant is a one-component organic sealant for waterproof sealing with high adhesion with Aquastop tapes in the Laminate No Crack and Laminate Vapor Pro systems, ready to use, eco-friendly. Supplied in 6kg tubs.
Kerakoll Aquastop Fix is designed for adhering Kerakoll Aquastop 120 Tape and Corner Pieces on Kerakoll Aquastop Green and Kerakoll Aquastop Fabric membranes in order to ensure the system’s watertightness in a very short time and the application’s durability against alkaline attacks thanks to high chemical resistance.
Green in colour, Kerakoll Aquastop Fix makes it easy to identify which areas have been covered sufficiently.
Kerakoll Aquastop Fix Waterproofing Sealant can be used on Aquastop Green membrane and Aquastop Fabric membrane, as well as plasters, finishing products, screed and mineral patches; – cement and concrete cast on site or prefabricated, concrete blocks; – metals (steel, copper, bronze, brass, etc.); – plastic materials (PE, PPE, ABS, fibreglass, etc.) after sanding and removing of dust; – wood, glass, ceramic and porcelain tiles, natural stone.
Do not use Kerakoll Aquastop Fix on dusty or poorly cohesive substrates; on new bituminous substrates or those exuding oil, solvents or plasticizers; on substrates that are saturated with damp or subject to continual moisture rising or to waterproof leaks in specific points; for exposed seals; for elastic sealing of movement joints; for the laying of ceramic tiles.
Preparation:
Substrates must be compact, smooth, free of dust, oil and grease, dry and free from rising damp, with no loose debris or flaky parts that are not perfectly anchored such as residues of cement, lime and varnishes, which must be completely removed. Sand and dust down metals and plastic materials, completely remove paints, varnishes and fine finishing coats. The substrate must be stable, non-deformable and with no cracks. The elements to be sealed must first be mechanically anchored to the substrate or embedded firmly in the substrates.
Kerakoll Aquastop Fix is ready-to-use. After opening the pack, remove the pre-formed plastic disc and place it back on the fresh product before closing the pack to allow the remaining product in the bucket to be reused.
Application:
Laminate No Crack perimeter joints:
- Apply the eco-friendly Kerakoll Aquastop Fix sealant on the walls and the membrane with a smooth spreader to a width of approx. 8-10 cm, taking care to fill the circular hollow ribs with Aquastop Green and fix Aquastop 120 on the wet sealant following the wall-to-floor joint.
- Press firmly and smooth over to ensure the tape seals perfectly, being careful not to wrinkle it.
- Press the tape with the smooth spreader from the centre outwards to avoid curling the mesh. Thoroughly cover all white mesh parts with the sealant.
Joints between adjacent Laminate No Crack sheets:
- Apply the eco-friendly Kerakoll Aquastop Fix sealant along the joints with a smooth spreader to a width of at least 8-10 centimetres per side of each joint, taking care to fill the circular hollow ribs with Aquastop Green and leave a thin continuous layer.
- Fix Aquastop 120 on the wet sealant, following the joint between sheets. Press firmly and smooth over to ensure the tape seals perfectly, being careful not to wrinkle it.
- Press the tape with the smooth spreader from the centre outwards to avoid curling the mesh. Thoroughly cover all white mesh parts with the sealant.
The subsequent laying of the coating can be carried out immediately. If heavy rain falls on Kerakoll Aquastop Fix before it is fully hardened, carefully check the adhesion of Aquastop 120 tape.
Sealing and Laminate Vapor Pro perimeter joints:
- To seal Aquastop 120 in the perimeter joints and between adjacent Aquastop Fabric sheets in the Laminate Vapor Pro system, follow the same steps as for Laminate No Crack.
- Join adjacent sheets of Aquastop Fabric by bonding the Aquastop 120 tape using Kerakoll Aquastop Fix.
- Apply Kerakoll Aquastop Fix sealant with a smooth spreader along the wall-floor angle to a width of approx. 8-10 cm and fix Aquastop 120 on the fresh sealant. Press firmly and smooth over to ensure the tape seals perfectly, being careful not to wrinkle it. Press the tape with the smooth spreader from the centre outwards to avoid curling the mesh. Thoroughly cover all white mesh parts with Kerakoll Aquastop Fix.
