DIVISION 7 – Thermal and Moisture Protection

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Crommelin® Shower Waterproofing Membrane is a waterbased,
ready to use, heavy duty, modified rubber liquid applied membrane,
engineered to permanently waterproof wet areas prior to tiling.
Crommelin® Shower Waterproofing Membrane delivers a keyed
finish, suitable for use with cement based tile adhesives.
PRODUCT PACKAGING:
Shower Waterproofing Membrane is available in 1L, 4L and 15L pails plus 4L and 6L kits.
• 1L produces 1m2 of finished membrane.
• 4L / 4L kit produces 4m2 of finished membrane.
• 6L kit produces 6m2 of finished membrane.
• 15L produces 15m2 of finished membrane.
PRODUCT PREPARATION PROCEDURE:
• Concrete must have cured for at least 28 days, screeds and renders 7 days.
• All substrates must be installed as per manufacturer’s recommendations.
• The surface should have a light even texture. Masonry should be flush pointed and all defects
in existing surfaces made good.
• Surfaces must be clean, dry, sound and free from dust, grease, curing compounds, release
agents, loose particles, efflorescence, concrete laitance or any other contaminants.
• All high points and protrusions should be removed, blow-holes and areas of honeycombing
should be filled and the surface should be brought back to an even profile using a suitable
repair mortar.
• All surfaces must be dry. A moisture test is required 100% of the time to ascertain if the
substrate is dry enough to coat. Electronic moisture meters are recommended.
• If minor surface consolidation is required, apply one coat of 1:1 dilution of Shower
Waterproofing Membrane and water and allow to dry.
• If a greater amount of surface consolidation is required, apply one coat of Crommelin®
Powerflex as per recommended application rates.
