- Cement,
- Concrete,
- Stone,
- Tiling,
- Brick,
- Calandrite,

The surface can have no slope with Arcathane.
If you have a sloped surface you can use other waterproof coating:
If you want for no to light foot traffic in order to waterproof per exemple a roof you could use: Arcaroof (waterproof coating for sloped surface light foot traffic resistant)
If you have slope but you need an heavy foot traffic resistant (walkable terrace, balcony with furnitures on) then use: Arcadeck (waterproof coating for sloped surface heavy foot traffic resistant)

Instructions of use of Arcathane polyurethane waterproof membrane for flat surface:
Application Conditions:
Do not apply in temperatures <5°C or >80°C, if wind, rain, freezing.
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: Surfaces to be coated must be dry, clean, sound and free of all contaminants, loose particles, dirt and dust.
- The humidity of the substrate must not exceed 8% Scrape and brush off all moss.
- The surface must be disinfected with a fungicidal product such as ARCAMOSS.
- Wait 24 to 48 hours before applying ARCATHANE to a treated surface.
- New concrete surfaces must have been left to dry at least 28 days before applying the ARCATHANE.
Application Tools:
Apply with a paint brush, roller or airless spary gun.
Application:
Application on flat smooth surface requiring no reinforcement mesh (no crack, no tiled surface):
- Primer: product itself dilute with 5 to 10% water. This % will depend on the porosity of your surface. Apply on all surface.
Let dry 24 hours before to apply the 1st coat - 1st coat: Apply a coat of undiluted product (as you would a paint).
Let dry 24 to 36 hours. - 2nd coat: Apply a coat of undiluted product Let dry 24 to 36 hours
Application over repaired joints, cracks , weak spots or tiled surface requiring the use of the reinforcement mesh:
Repaired joints, cracks or weak spots such as protruding pipes, internal angles, chimney flashings etc. must be reinforced with ARCAMESH.
Small cracks under 1.5mm can be treated before applying Arcathane with a polyurethane mastic.
- Primer: product itself dilute with 5 to 10% water. This % will depend on the porosity of your surface. Apply on all surface. Let dry 24 hours before to apply the 1st coat
- 1st coat: Apply the 1st coat ARCATHANE, immediately embed the ARCAMESH (pressing the mesh firmly into the wet coat smoothing out any air bubbles with a dry roller or trowel) then reapply directly a coat (undiluted) to saturate the surface «wet on wet».
Let dry 24 to 36 hours. - 2nd coat: Apply a coat of undiluted product (as you would a paint). Let it dry 24 to 36 hours.
Optionally to get more resistance you can add a 3rd coat.
