ARCATHANE TRAFFIC is a protective coating applied over Arcathane to render flat roofs and terraces foot traffic resistant.
Protective and resistant to foot traffic, Arcathane Traffic is designed as a top coat over the ARCATHANE waterproof membrane.
Pincipal uses of Arcathane traffic top coating:
Designed to make Arcathane foot traffic resistant when applied to:
- waterproof flat roofs and roof terraces having 0% slope
- waterproof balconies 0% slope
- waterproof terraces 0% slope
- waterproof decks

ARCATHANE TRAFFIC is composed of modified flexible, water-based, polyurethane resins (with no additives or acrylic resins of lesser quality).
With excellent foot traffic resistance, it is recommended as a top coat for ARCATHANE waterproofing membranes when applied to a flat surface which will be subjected to foot traffic on a regular basis:
- waterproofing of exterior surfaces: flat roofs, terraces, balconies, etc.
- waterproofing of interior surfaces: wet rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, etc.
A protective coating applied over Arcathane to render flat roofs foot traffic resistant. Arcathane Traffic is designed as a protective and foot traffic-resistant top coat over the ARCATHANE waterproof membrane.
ARCATHANE TRAFFIC is a protective coating applied over Arcathane to render flat roofs and terraces foot traffic resistant.
Advantages of Arcathane traffic:
- Monocomponent, easy to apply
- Safe to apply: no solvants or unpleasant odours
- Arcathane Traffic is cold applied
- Interior/Exterior - waterproof all flat surfaces (standard minimum slope not required)
- Water vapour permeable
- Resistant to freeze-thaw cycles
- Maintains it mechanical properties in temperature conditions from -30°C to + 80°C
- Non yellowing and UV resistant
- Applied in light colours, provides improved thermal insulation
- Excellent adhesion with no additional fixation or mechanical fasteners
- Private property use
Instructions of use of Arcathane Traffic top coat paint:
Application conditions:
Do not apply Arcathane Traffic in rainy or freezing weather conditions or if rain or freezing temperatures are expected within 48 hours of application.
Surface preparation:
As a Finish over Arcathane freshly applied : Apply the Arcathane Traffic coat as soon as the Arcathane has dried (24 hours) directly over the Arcathane membrane.Note: When applied to give a foot traffic resistant finish over an old Arcathane membrane, the surface must be well prepared (chemical cleaning, acetone degreasing) prior to application.
Product preparation:
Arcathane Traffic should be mixed with an electric mixer to obtain a homogeneous product before application. Pour Arcathan Traffic into a suitable tray or bucket.
Application Tools:
nap roller 12 mm or 18mm, airless.
Clean Up:
With water or acetone immediately after use.
Application:
- Using a nap roller 12mm or 18mm apply the product, in a criss-cross manner, dipping the roller into the product and taking off excess product frequently. Do not pour the product onto the surface and spread out from there.
- Use a paint brush paintbrush, for application on the edges, joint areas or areas which are difficult to access.
- The Arcathane Traffic coat must have a minimum thickness of 0.1 mm and a maximum thickness of 0.3 mm. One coat is sufficient to give protection and foot traffic resistance to a surface used on a moderate, normal basis (domestic use). Two coats should be applied if very frequent or heavy foot traffic is expected.
- Easy to apply, Arcathane traffic must nonetheless be applied with care to obtain a film of the proper thickness. Moisture content must not exceed 5% and minimum temperature during application must not be less than 5°C or more than 30°C.
Drying Time:
- Drying time (film 100 microns) : 3 hours
- Can be walked on after 24 hours
- Curing time : 7 days
The Arcathane Traffic coat must have a minimum thickness of 0.1 mm and a maximum thickness of 0.3 mm.
Standard domestic foot traffic resistance : 1 coat: 200 g/m²
Frequent and heavier foot traffic : 2 coats: 0200 g/m²
One 3.6kg pail will cover approximately a surface area of 16 to 18 m² for standard domestic foot traffic resistance.
Store Arcathane Traffic in a cool well ventilated area, protected from hot sun, rain and freezing. Under these conditions, the product can be kept in its original unopened packaging for 18 months.
