The following precautions are very important and critical while application of Hydro Ban®:
- Check if the surface preparation is done thoroughly. Check all the details of differential elements like GI, PVC pipes coming through the substrate, ceramic fixtures to screed joints, concrete to brick masonry joints etc.
- Apply Hydro Ban® on all the above differential element joints ensuring complete closure of the joints.
- Do not apply Hydro Ban® on surfaces with moisture or looking wet. Hydro Ban® must be applied only on completely dry surfaces.
- If the temperature is too low (Below 12 Degrees Centigrade), use heaters to increase the temperature while installing Hydro Ban®. If the temperature is too high (more than 35 Degrees Centigrade), work during the evening / night / early morning to get best results.
- Don’t use putty blades for application of Hydro Ban® One can use a flat side of trowel for application of Hydro Ban®
- Don’t allow any other works like plumbing, electrical fittings, plastering, tiling or painting to be done in the water proofing area while applying the Hydro Ban®. Don’t allow any traffic other than people who are working with Hydro Ban® membrane.
- Do not apply Hydro Ban® if there are joints in substrate which are more than 3 mm width. In case the joints of substrate are more than 3 mm in width, use fabric roll over the joints before application of Hydro Ban®.
- Always use fresh and clean roller/brush/trowel for application of Hydro Ban®.
