DESMOTHIX
DESMOTHIX it’s a polymeric thickener, it has been developed especially as a liquid additive for the polyurethane liquid membranes DESMOPOL/DESMOPOL CB, to use on vertical or sloped surfaces, giving thixotropic properties.


Uses
Main uses for DESMOTHIX:
- Additive for the membranes DESMOPOL/DESMOPOL CB, to apply on vertical or sloped surfaces
- Prevent fall of the membrane due to its drying time
density at 23ºC | 0,9 g/cm³ |
maximum consumption | 40 ml per 1 kg of DESMOPOL/DESMOPOL CB |
recommended consumption | 20 ml per 1 kg of DESMOPOL/DESMOPOL CB |
APPLICATION METHOD
- add DESMOTHIX in the proportion needed (maximum 1 liter per 25 kg of DESMOPOL / DESMOPOL CB).
- the mixing ratio is relative to the job site situation
- We recommend to add initially 20 ml/kg of the PU membrane and check it. If necessary and/or if it were deemed convenient, add more additive up to a maximum of 40 ml/kg de PU membrane.
- mixing continued until a homogeneous product
- apply the mixture by short hair roll
- if the environmental temperature is lower than 5ºC, warm lightly before mixing with DESMOPOL/DESMOPOL CB
SHELF LIFE
12 months at temperatures between 5°C and 35°C, provided it is stored in a dry place
PACKAGING
Metal tins of 1l.
HANDLING
These safety recommendations for handling, are necessary for the implementation process as well as in the pre and post, on exposure to the loading machinery.
- Respiratory Protection: When handling or spraying use an air-purifying respirator.
- Skin protection: Use rubber gloves, remove immediately after contamination. Wear clean body-covering. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after work and before eating, drinking or smoking.
- Eye / Face: Wear safety goggles to prevent splashing and exposure to particles in the air.
- The waste generation should be avoided or minimized. Incinerate under controlled conditions in accordance with local laws and national regulations.
Anyway, consult the material and safety data sheet of the product (MSDS), or contact our technical department
