Availability date:
The highest water pressure resistant and the richest resin based waterproof cementitious tanking system available on the market that will make your waterproofing system last for years!
Waterproof Cement Tanking Systems are a well proven waterproofing solution to render your structures resistant to water pressure and infiltration.
Arcacem Pool and Arcacem S2 are also used to keep water from leaking out of a building structure- swimming pools, water tanks or water reservoirs.
ARCACEM POOL is a waterproof cementitious tanking system which is highly resistant to hydrostatic pressure whether it is applied from the inside (pressure against your swimming pool structure, for example) or the outside (pressure from the outside against your building structure).
ARCACEM POOL works by blocking the capillary pore structure of the concrete surface to liquid water ingress while remaining permeable to water vapour ( which allows any entrapped moisture to escape and the struture to 'breathe'). Penetrating into the pores of the substrate, our waterproof tanking product will become one with your structure (and cannot be pushed off by water pressure).
The waterproof tanking system ARCACEM POOL does not add heavy weight and additional thickness to your existing structure (3mm) while proving extremely resistant to high hydrostatic pressure.
ARCACEM POOL waterproof tanking system can be applied to mineral surfaces such as:
ARCACEM Pool protects:
ARCACEM Pool waterproofs:
2 pack sizes: 5kg - 25kg
5kg Kit = 4kg powder + 1 kg resin
25kg = 20kg powder + 5 kg resin
A complete waterproof and tanking system, ARCACEM POOL can be covered with a decorative paint such as ARCAPOOL (in swimming pools, for example) or the waterproofing tanking product can be left as is (when applied in water reservoirs , for example).
Arcacem POOL white can be coloured, tinted with Arcacolour powder dyes (3% of the total volume of the mixture ARCACEM POOL + ARCACOLOUR (dry and liquid parts)
Brush, Trowel, With water immediately after use
Do not apply under direct hot sun or on hot surface. In the summer, apply in the morning.
Avoid application if strong wind and/or rain are present.
Do not apply ARCACEM POOL on frozen substrates or if freezing temperatures are forecast within 24 hours.
Careful attention to the preparation of the surface is essential to guarantee bonding.
The surface must be clean, sound, and free of loose or friable materials.
Where the surface is dry or hot to touch, WET DOWN THE ENTIRE SURFACE BEFORE APPLICATION.
IMPORTANT : We highly recommend forming a fillet at the wall to floor junction before applying Arcacem. you can also use a mortar + ARCALATEX
This area is one of the most leak-prone areas of basements and the focal point of stress caused by movement and settlement. Concave fillets installed in the wall/floor junction won't eliminate all movement between the wall against the floor, but the stresses are spread over the area of the rounded out fillet, instead of being focused on the point of that 90° angle. Arcacem applies easier and better (no build-up in sharp angles) to the rounded off surface.
Pour the resin into a large container.
Stir in the powder slowly and progressively.
It takes a full minute for the mixture to start bonding (adding ARCACEM POOL from this point on will not pose a mixing problem).
Mix for 2 to 3 minutes, the paste should be of uniform colour, creamy in texture and homogeneous without lumps.
Let it sit a few minutes prior to application.
Use within 2 hours.
We recommend applying the 1st coat with a cement brush.
The brush vibrating movement pushes the Arcacem deep into the substrate.
A trowel application may be done for the to coat if you desire a smooth finish.
Stir material thoroughly before application and periodically during application to maintain a homogeneous mixture throughout the application process.
Apply with a smoothing trowel, brush or roller or project mechanically.
ARCACEM POOL is applied in 2 coats minimum. The 1st coat may be reinforced (firmly embedding the reinforcement fibreglass mesh ARCAFIBRE).
The 2nd coat is applied once the 1st has completely hardened (minimum 4 hours in optimal drying conditions).
1st coat : apply with a brush or a smoothing trowel (a brush is better as it creates a massaging effect which causes the product to penetrate deeply into the pores of the substrate). The coat should be approximately 2 to 3mm thick.
Apply the reinforcing fibreglass if necessary.
It may not be necessary to reinforce the entire surface but we highly recommend reinforcing the corners, cracks and joints.
Each strip of reinforcing mesh must overlap another by 5cm.
2nd coat: Apply ARCACEM POOL to cover the entire surface, approximately 1 to 2mm thick
3rd coat: If the substrate must resist high counter pressure (swimming pools), we recommend a 3rd coat - approximately 1 to 2mm thick.
Wet down the surface for the first coat only not between coats
ARCACEM POOL waterproof tanking system can be covered by a concrete screed or slab or a number of other top coatings. It is possible to tint ARCACEM POOL with ARCACOLORS, maximum 3% of total weight. Not recommended for work subject to UV.
Light foot traffic dry : 48 hours (at 20°C and 60 % relative humidity)
Between 2 coats: 24 hours
Filling reservoirs - curing time : 12 days
On smooth surfaces (concrete slab, poured concrete, cement render) :
TOTAL for 3 coats: 4.5 kg per m² (1.5kg per m² for each coat) 5kg will cover up to: 1.1m² 25kg will cover up to: 5.5m²
On uneven surfaces (cement blocks, stone): apply prior to the tanking system a regular cement render of 1 to 2 cm.
TOTAL for 3 coats: 4.5 kg per m² (1.5kg per m² for each coat) 5kg will cover up to: 1.1m² 25kg will cover up to: 5.5m²
Store in unopened containers in a clean, dry area.
Keep material from freezing.
