Description
Proofex LM is a two component bituminous rubber emulsion
with special hydraulically hardening fillers
Proofex LM is supplied in pre-weighed packs of Liquid and
Powder to be mixed in the ratio of 3 parts liquid to 1part
powder.

Approx. 1.2 g/cm (mixture)

Approx. 90 minutes at +20C
All surfaces to be sealed must be clean and free from all

loose particles and all other adhesion inhibiting
substances. Mortar residues, laitance, etc., should be
removed. The substrate to be waterproofed may be dry or
damp (not shining wet). There should be no standing water
on horizontal areas. If the surface is dry, it is recommended
that the substrate is dampened by spraying water
beforehand. All substrates to be waterproofed with Proofex
LM must be primed prior to applying the waterproofing layer.
The primer is prepared by diluting one part Proofex LM
(premixed product) with ten parts of clean water and
applied by brush. Once priming is complete, the first coat of
Proofex LM can be applied straight away. Macro-porous
substrates with cavities require a scratchcoat of Proofex LM
to avoid bubble formation or risk of blistering. The scratchcoat should be left to dry for 1 to 2 hours before applying
the next layer.
It is recommended that, where required, each full first coat
of Proofex LM is left to dry overnight before applying a
second coat.
Mixing
Proofex LM kits consist of exact quantities of two
components contained within the same pack. The powder
component is carefully mixed into the liquid component by
means of a slow speed drill with paddle until it forms a
homogeneous, paste-like compound of uniform colour.
Application by trowel
Proofex LM is applied by steel float in one or two even
layers depending on the maximum loading. To avoid crack
formation the applied material must not be worked on once
the coating starts to dry.
In areas with extreme loadings (covings, edges and pipe
penetrations) the material has to be applied twice. Fosroc
recommend the use of a Proofex LM mesh allowing 10 mm
overlaps between the first and the second coat.

Application temperatures
The pot life of Proofex LM is at least 90 minutes at +20C and
normal humidity. Higher temperatures shorten while lower
temperatures lengthen the pot life.

Protection of the waterproofing
Estimating
The structure may only be backfilled after complete curing of

the waterproofing layers has taken place. Sharp objects
should not come in contact with the membrane.
Supply
The completed installation may be protected as required with

Proofex Protection Board. Proofex LM should not be exposed
for prolonged periods.The cured membrane should therefore
be protected from the elements (including sunlight) if the
product will be left exposed for several weeks. Adequate noise,
heat and mechanical insulation materials such as styrene
and mineral foam may be glued to Proofex LM.
