ARCACLEAR TRAFFIC
Arcaclear Traffic is a mono-componante solvant based capacity, tintable transparent waterproof membrane that reacts with the humidity in the air to dry to a stable, non-yellowing transparent coating highly resistant to chemicals, stagnating water and foot traffic.
Mainly used to protect Arcaclear resin it can also be used to protect stone
Arcaclear Traffic Advantages:
- Works as a water repellent and protection for all support, building materials
- Excellent adhesion to porous surfaces
- Quick drying (3 to 4 hours)
- -40°c to 90°c resistant
- Resistant to water stagnation
- Heavy Foot traffic resistant
- Protect from industrial smog and smoke, UV rays, dirt and acid rain
- Easy to apply, ready to use
- Non-yellowing, alkali and UV resistant
- Can be used as a standalone product ( apply on a primer for porous or non porous substrates).
Arcaclear Traffic Uses Include:
Arcaclear Traffic is used on interior and exterior surfaces to protect and reinforce the ARCACLEAR resin or can be used as a standalone product (as protection membrane):
- For domestic and public foot traffic
- In parking lots for light and heavy vehicle traffic
- Warehouses, quays, industrial plants
- Pebble
Arcaclear Traffic Coverage:
Using with the Arcaclear system KIT:
For domestic foot traffic:
- 1 coat application 200 g/m²,
- 1kg will cover up to 5m² (sqm)
- 5kg will cover up to 25m² (sqm)
To render an anti-slip surface: integrating the white corundum (70 to 120 microns) to 30g per m²
Public foot traffic:
- 2 coat application 200 g/m² per coat total 400g/m² (2 coats),
- 1kg will cover up to 2.5 m² for 2 coats (sqm)
- 5kg will cover up to 12.5 m² for 2 coats (sqm)
Used as standalone product:
Prior to this application you will need to apply a primer :
Arcaclear for non-porous substrate or Arcaclear for porous substrate
As a protection and reinforcement coat (outside of the Arclear system):
- 100 to 300 gr/m² per coat, in 1 or 2 coats depending on the surface and its use
- 1kg will cover up to 10m² (sqm) for 1 coat
- 5kg will cover up to 50m² (sqm) for 1 coat
Arcaclear Traffic Colour:
If you use corundum to make the surface anti-slipery it will then make the surface between wet and matte finish
Arcaclear Traffic Pack size:
Arcaclear Primer for porous surfaces comes in 1kg and 5kg packs.
It can be ordered alone or in a kit providing complete TRANSPARENT WATERPROOFING treatment (from priming to finish).
The ARCACLEAR system is packaged to treat 5m² (approximately 50 square feet) or 10m2 (approximately 100 square feet) per kit.
Four types of kits are available depending on the frequency and quantity of foot traffic to which the surface will be subjected.
- No foot traffic (used over mosaics or tiling in swimming pool or on wall surfaces)
- Rare foot traffic for maintenance purposes only
- Frequent foot traffic within a private property
- Heavy foot traffic in public areas
Do you want to order each product separately?
A mono-componante solvant based product with high covering capacity, ARCACLEAR TRAFFIC is a tintable transparent waterproof membrane that will render Arcaclear resin high traffic resistant.
Arcaclear traffic gives a reinforced protection against mechanical, thermal, or chemical agression such as oils, grease, damp, acids and diluted inorganic bases and any other soiling or corrosive liquid.
Arcaclear Traffic Advantages:
- Works as a water repellent and protection for all support, building materials
- Excellent adhesion to porous surfaces
- Quick drying (3 to 4 hours)
- -40°c to 90°c resistant
- Resistant to water stagnation
- Heavy Foot traffic resistant
- Protect from industrial smog and smoke, UV rays, dirt and acid rain
- Easy to apply, ready to use
- Non-yellowing, alkali and UV resistant
- Can be used as a standalone product (with a primer)
Instructions for use ARCACLEAR TRAFFIC :
Surface preparation
Optimum performance is achieved by using the right combination of products, surface preparation and application procedures. Careful attention to the preparation of the surface is essential.
- Treat any spore, lichenor any other fungi with a fungicide. Thoroughly rinse the surface and dry completely (naturally or forced drying for organic, metal, wood or thermoplastic bases).
- Degrease and strip the surfaces of any wax, oil, animal or vegetable grease and hydrocarbons, especially hydraulic, inorganic, .organic, metal, wood and thermoplastic bases).
- Clean the surface of any and all laitance, curing compounds and additives with a high pressure wash (140 bars minimum) and dry completely (forced drying for hydraulic or modified hydraulic cement systems).
- Sand, blast, plane and bursh all hydraulic or modified hydraulic cement systems, wood, metal, calcium or inorganic surfaces.
- Chemically treat all thermoplastic and thermosetting bases.
- Sand, strip, brush and blast all metal surfaces.
- Thoroughly dust all surfaces.
Repair Cracks and Joints before application
The careful and thorough repairing of cracks is important to ensure long-lasting waterproofing of the surface. Clean all concrete cracks, hairline cracks, expansion joints etc.of dirt, dust and loose particles. Use a polyurethane mastic to seal.
All internal angles must be reinforced with ARCAMESH (embedded between 2 coats of ARCACLEAR).
Application
Apply first the required primer.
Easy to apply, Arcaclear traffic must nonetheless be applied with care to obtain a transparent film of the proper thickness. Temperature conditions and relative humidity must be within the application limits explained as they will affect the curing time and performance of Arcaclear Traffic.
Temperature of application must not be lower than 8°C and humidity in the substrate must not exceed 5%.
Arcaclear Traffic should be mixed with an electric mixer to obtain a homogenous product before application.
Pour Arcaclear Traffic into a suitable roller tray and always apply from the tray to the surface. (Do not pour Arcaclear Traffic onto the surface and spread out from a large quantity placed directly on the surface).
Application tools
- nap roller 12mm or 18mm attached to a Y-shaped handle to apply smoothly (the roller should be flattened in the tray to hold a minimum amount of product and avoid splashing on a thick coat which must be pulled out on the surface).
- rubber rake or squeegee, followed by a nap roller 12mm or 18mm attached to a Y-shaped handle
- paintbrush, for application on the edges, joint areas or areas which are difficult to access
airless
