Case Studies

DESCRIPTION OF PERFORMANCE

Waterproofing and coating the vessels of pools, hot tubs and other direct contact with chlorinated water or salt water. With finishes like "beach", completely continuous coatings, made ​​with great rapidity of execution.

The structure of the vessels are the vast majority of concrete or gunite surface mortar. It was necessary prior preparation of these supports to facilitate adherence and continuity of TECNOCOAT P-2049. 

Various views of the pools made with the P-2049 TECNOCOAT system.

 METHOD OF APPLICATION

The procedure to be followed for this application is as follows:

Phase 1: Preparing the substrate

Milling of the surface: the surface of milled concrete mortar or gunning of the vertical walls to achieve a high adhesion of the system, reducing to zero the air accumulations and therefore the appearance of bubbles or craters on the surface. If necessary also filled voids or areas without material. In this way, we get a continuous surface.

General cleaning: we proceeded to the removal of dust from the preparation work before.

Phase 2: Singular points

Areas such as job boards or expansion, encounters with walls, sinks water supply areas, or other unique elements of the structure or morphology of the work require a focused work to ensure the proper functioning of the system. In this case, work was carried out in the following points:

Phase 3: Implementation of system products TECNOCOAT P-2049

The P-2049 TECNOCOAT system used in this case, was generated by applying the following materials:

• Desmopol Primer Primer: origin of epoxy applied by roller manually over the entire surface, improves adhesion of existing support and avoids the presence of entrapped air.
• TECNOCOAT P-2049: pure polyurea membrane 100% TECNOCOAT; continuous and fully bonded to the support, is applied by spray equipment GRACO-EXP2 with mixture control, temperature and pressure of the liquid components. The application was made directly over the primer in several continuous layers until the required thickness by our ETA document 11/0357.
• 2CP ADY Desmopol aliphatic varnish: aliphatic two-component polyurethane varnish special contact situations chlorinated or salt water, applied to the surface of roller P-2049 TECNOCOAT. Its function is to protect it from the damaging effects of chlorine on the surface.

ADVANTAGES OF APPLICATION

Because of the type of the execution of the pool of work vessels wet, it takes a coating while ensuring waterproofing offers complete protection against water.

Thus, the factors favorable to the implementation of the system TECNOCOAT P-2049, and decided to put into play against other waterproofing and coating systems, were:

Optimum waterproofing of the entire surface in a continuous manner, without overlaps or together.

• TECNOCOAT coating P-2049 offers complete protection for surfaces such humid environments and constant presence of water.
• Full continuity of the waterproofing in all aspects of the morphology of execution.
• speed of execution and low maintenance rear aliphatic finish paint decoration and protection.
• final decoration with wide spectrum of colors, and finishes with aggregates if deemed necessary.
