Super laykold® is a water-based bitumen system for waterproofing porous and non-porous surfaces from foundation to roof. Applications are easy for DIY or Contractor, 7-year product quality guarantee, an all-in-one versatile system and strong brand equity. Self-priming on concrete, metal-etch primer on metal surfaces. Reinforce with membrane if required. Protect with Silvakote® eco if exposed to UV. Suitable for tanking, flat roofing, sealing joints, laps and roofing screws and water retaining. Non-toxic.
Get Started
What you'll need:
- Equipment to prepare the surface
- Container to mix prime coat
- Paint brushes to apply the product
- Roller to embed the membrane
- Scissors to cut the membrane
- Gloves and old clothes
- Super laykold® - 1 ℓ, 5 ℓ and 20 ℓ containers
- abe membrane – 200 or 250 mm wide
- Bituprime or 4-metal primer – 1 ℓ, 5 ℓ, 25 ℓ containers
- Silvakote® - 5 ℓ, 20 ℓ / Silvakote® eco 5 ℓ, 25 ℓ
- abe® super brush cleaner - 1 ℓ, 5 ℓ and 25 ℓ containers
GOOD TO KNOW
- Versatile system to suit any waterproofing application.
- Super laykold® is water-based, so dries quickly. The wet material looks dark brown but dries black.
- When used for a pond, allow to dry for a minimum of 14 days. Flush with clean water before filling completely. Let the water and product stand for a day or two before adding fish.
Here's How: 5 Steps
Step 1
Surface Preparation
All surfaces are to be clean, dry, sound, and free of all laitance, grease, oil, fungal growth, or loose and flaking particles.
This could be achieved by wire brushing or high-pressure washing having a rotating nozzle and operating pressure of approximately 170 bar, finally rinsing with clean water
New galvanised iron: The surface must be thoroughly cleaned using sugar soap or any other grease-cutting detergent to remove oils followed by thorough rinsing or high-pressure washing using clean water to reveal a clean, sound, water-break-free surface
Old, galvanised iron: Remove all loose rust, dirt, and salts of zinc corrosion and scale by means of wire brushing, sanding, chipping, or mechanical scouring; down to bright metal followed by thorough rinsing or high-pressure washing using clean water to reveal a clean, sound, water break free surface.
Step 2
Bonding
Mix one-part Super laykold® with one-part clean water and prime the total area to be covered. As a guide 0.25 ℓ of the diluted primer will cover 1 m². Allow to dry
Metal surfaces only: New galvanised iron - prime with Bituprime® or 4 metal primer and allow to dry. Old, galvanised iron - prime with 4 metal primer and allow to dry.
Step 3
Mixing
Stir well before use
Coverage: 2.1 ℓ /m² full system
Step 4
Application
First coat (all surfaces after priming):
Brush or roll on a thick coat (0.75 ℓ/m2) and embed the abe® membrane well into the wet coating. On flat surfaces, it is recommended to use a fluted aluminium roller for this purpose
Membrane overlaps should be a minimum of 100 mm on end laps and 75 mm on side laps
Second coat
When the first coat has dried sufficiently to take working traffic (2 – 3 hours), apply a second coat of super laykold® (0.75 ℓ/m²) to ensure the membrane is completely saturated, and allow to dry
Third coat
Apply a final coat of super laykold® (0.6 ℓ/m²) to give a smooth finish
Note: If Super laykold® is used in a koi pond or dam, allow to dry for 14 days. Flush with clean water before filling.
Step 5
UV Protection
Allow the system to dry for 7 - 10 days and then overcoat exposed areas with Silvakote®
Cleanup
Tools, brushes and mixing equipment should be cleaned immediately after use and before the material has set with abe® super brush cleaner. Wash with soap and water.
