Is this system designed for concrete roof substrates?
Yes. This system is designed for prepared concrete roof substrates, including concrete roof waterproofing, small or medium concrete roof repair and detail work around parapets, drains, penetrations, equipment bases and inner corners.
What does BW8010 do in this concrete roof system?
BW8010 is the concrete primer and repair base. It seals prepared concrete, supports adhesion and can be blended with quartz sand for local pore filling, scrape leveling and larger void repair before the BW6-9528 hand-applied waterproofing membrane is applied.
How is quartz sand used with BW8010 for concrete repair?
BW8010 can be blended with quartz sand as a putty-like primer mortar for scrape leveling, pore filling and larger void repair on prepared concrete roof areas before membrane application.
Why use BW6-9528 as the main hand-applied membrane?
BW6-9528 is the main flexible hand-applied polyurea waterproof membrane in this system. It forms the waterproofing layer over the prepared concrete roof substrate and can be applied by brush, roller or high-pressure airless spray.
Does this system require plural-component spray equipment?
No. This system is designed for concrete roof projects without specialized plural-component polyurea spray equipment. BW6-9528 can be applied by brush, roller or high-pressure airless spray.
What concrete roof details are suitable for hand application?
Concrete parapets, upturns, drains, penetrations, equipment bases and inner corners are suitable detail zones for hand application when the concrete has been prepared and repaired correctly.
Why does the system use BW0-8029 exposed topcoat?
BW0-8029 protects the exposed surface against UV, weathering and color aging. It is used as the UV-resistant exposed polyaspartic topcoat over the main membrane.
Can this hand-applied system be used for large concrete roof areas?
This hand-applied system is more suitable for small or medium concrete roof areas, repair zones and detail waterproofing where plural-component spray equipment is not convenient. For large-area fast application, the spray polyurea concrete roof waterproofing system may be more suitable.
What is the typical coating thickness for this hand-applied roof system?
For concrete roof hand-applied waterproofing, BW6-9528 is the main waterproofing membrane and is recommended at not less than 1.2 mm. The typical overall coating system thickness is about 1.42 mm when using about 100 um BW8010 primer repair, at least 1.2 mm BW6-9528 hand-applied polyurea membrane and about 120 um total BW0-8029 protective topcoat design. Final thickness should be confirmed according to substrate condition, repair scope, exposure level and project specification.
What is the expected service life of this waterproofing coating system?
Based on laboratory testing and practical project verification, this waterproofing coating system is designed to support up to 20 years of service life when properly installed on suitable concrete substrates and maintained according to project requirements.
