Asian Paints SmartCare Damp Proof (product code 1048) is a fibre reinforced elastomeric liquid applied waterproofing membrane. It is formulated with select elastomeric and resilient acrylic polymers and reinforcing synthetic fibres, and on curing forms a thick, seamless, durable membrane. It offers waterproofing against up to 7 bars of positive hydrostatic pressure, crack bridging, high solar reflectance and anti-carbonation protection. It can be applied on RCC or plaster using brush or roller, and also over existing IPS, sound brick-bat coba or cementitious waterproofing.

Key features

• Waterproofing protection up to 7 bars of positive hydrostatic pressure
• Unmatched crack bridging ability due to elastomeric properties
• High solar reflectance - brilliant white colour and thick coat give high heat reflectance
• Strong adhesion to masonry substrates
• Surface temperature reduction up to 10 deg C (terraces, white shade only)
• Single pack, easy to apply and simple re-coating
• Reinforced with synthetic fibres for superior abrasion resistance
• Anti-carbonation: excellent CO2 diffusion resistance, prevents corrosion of rebar within concrete
• Water based
• Lead free guarantee: no added lead, mercury, arsenic or chromium (from April 2008)

Applications

• Building roofs and terraces
• Parapets and sunshades
• Exterior vertical walls
• Over existing IPS, sound brick-bat coba or cementitious waterproofing
