PURTOP 200

Two-component polyurea-based membrane applied manually for waterproofing roofs

WHERE TO USE
Thanks to its excellent elasticity and tear strength, Purtop 200 is suitable for use as a waterproofing
membrane for terraces and flat roofs, and for repairing surfaces waterproofed with hybrid polyurea and/or pure
polyurea-based membranes.

ADVANTAGES
Purtop 200 bonds extremely firmly to various types of substrate, if treated with a suitable primer beforehand,
and, once fully cured, forms a strong, seamless elastic membrane.
Purtop 200 offers the following advantages:
▪ excellent tear strength;
▪ high static and dynamic crack-bridging capacity, including at low temperatures;
▪ elongation properties above 500% (ISO 37);
▪ excellent resistance to alkalis and diluted acids;
▪ no strengthening reinforcement required;
▪ does not form overloads on load-bearing structures.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Purtop 200 is a two-component, solvent-free, pure polyurea-based formulate according to a formula
developed in the MAPEI R&D laboratories. The product is applied manually and has a workability time of
around 25 minutes.
Apply Purtop 200 in layers at least 1.5 mm thick. Once fully cured, thanks to its high tensile strength, tear
strength and crack-bridging capacity (including at low temperatures), Purtop 200 forms a seamless,
waterproof coating which adapts to substrates with any geometric form without cracking.
Purtop 200 meets the requirements of EN 1504-9 (“Products and systems for the protection and repair of
concrete structures. Definitions, requirements, quality control and evaluation of conformity. General
principles for the use of products and systems”) and the requirements of EN 1504-2 coating (C) according to PI,
MC, PR, RC and IR principles (“Surface protection systems for concrete”).

RECOMMENDATIONS
▪ Do not apply to substrates polluted with oil, grease or dirt in general.
▪ Do not apply Purtop 200 on substrates which have not been thoroughly cleaned and primed.
▪ Do not apply Purtop 200 on substrates with rising damp.
▪ A primer for damp substrates such as Triblock P must be used whenever the level of residual humidity in
the substrate is higher than 4%.
▪ Do not dilute Purtop 200 with solvent or water.
▪ Do not use Purtop 200 in continuous immersion (e.g. swimming pools, fountains, tanks).

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Preparation of the substrate
Surfaces must be prepared accordingly depending on the type of substrate, for example by sand-blasting,
shot-blasting, scarifying, bush-hammering or other methods. The substrate must then be treated with a
suitable primer as described below.
1. Application on concrete substrates, cementitious screeds

Check the substrate to make sure it is suitable for applying the waterproofing system.
The compressive strength and pull-off strength of the surface must be ≥ 25 MPa and ≥ 1.5 MPa, respectively.
Prepare the surface by sanding or shot-blasting to remove all traces of oil, grease, dirt and any other material or
substances which could compromise the bond of the waterproofing system. Then remove all dust and any
crumbling or detached parts from the substrate to leave a dry, porous, slightly rough surface with no
contaminants.
Repair any hollows, cavities and detached parts in the substrate with suitable products from the Mapegrout
and Planitop ranges. Choose the most suitable product according to the thickness to be repaired, the time
available and the operating conditions on site.
After preparing the surface as described above, apply a coat of Primer SN (two-component epoxy primer with
fillers), with a smooth spatula or rake and sprinkle the surface with Quartz 0.5 or, as an alternative, of Primer
FT (two-component ultra-rapid polyurea-based primer).
If the level of humidity in the substrate is higher than 4% and it is not possible to wait until it drops to a lower
value, apply two or more coats of Triblock P three-component epoxy-cementitious primer according to the
condition of the substrate, until the system is completely sealed. When the primer has cured sufficiently (3-7
days) apply a coat of epoxy primer (such as Primer SN or Mapecoat I 600 W); contact MAPEI Technical
Services for further details.
2. Application on bituminous membranes

Clean the bituminous membrane to remove all traces of oil, grease, dirt in general and any other substances or
material which could affect adhesion of the following coat of primer. Remove all dust with a vacuum cleaner
or compressed air. The membrane must be perfectly dry before inspecting the surface and any damage in the
membrane, such as blistering, tears or detached areas, must be repaired before applying the primer.
Apply Primer R30, ready-to-use solvent polyurethane resin-based primer, on horizontal surfaces and existing
vertical hems.
3. Application on metal surfaces

Check the state of the substrate and dry sand-blast the surface to grade SA 2½ (according to Swedish
Standards).
If it is not possible to use the dry-sanding method, the substrates needs to be prepared using alternative
means, such as with a suitable power tool (rotary steel brush, grinding or abrasive discs) or a percussion tool
(scaler, needle descaler or power-chisel).
Apply Primer EP Rustop two-component epoxy primer on metal surfaces with a brush, roller or by airless
spray after cleaning and treating them accordingly. As an alternative, Mapedeck Primer 200, adhesion
promoter for polyurethane systems can be applied.
4. Application on wooden substrates and OSB panels

Clean the substrate to remove all traces of dust, dirt and other deposits.
Calculate the width and pitch of the joints between the panels in order to select the most suitable product to
treat these joints.
Apply a coat of Primer SN two-component epoxy primer with fillers on the clean, dry substrate and sprinkle
the surface with Quartz 0.5.
For any other type of substrate, contact MAPEI Technical Services Department to define the most suitable
preparation treatment.
Application of the product
Purtop 200 is supplied in pre-dosed kits (component A + component B) to respect the correct mixing ratio
between the two components. Pour all the content of part B into part A, then mix for at least three minutes
until they are completely blended.
Do not mix the product manually. Scrape around the sides of the container to make sure all the contents of the
two components are thoroughly blended.
Once blended, Purtop 200 is easy to apply by pouring it on the surface and spreading it out evenly with a
notched trowel.
Apply Purtop 200 in a continuous coat over all the horizontal surfaces and vertical overlaps, and on the inside
of drainage outlets positioned in the surface.
If application of Purtop 200 is interrupted and then taken up again after the maximum covering time (24
hours), an overlap of at least 30 cm must be made after applying a coat of Primer R30.

Finish of the membrane

Purtop 200 gradually turns yellow if exposed to UV rays.
If the membrane is exposed to UV rays, apply a coat of Mapecoat PU 20 N two-component, aliphatic
polyurethane topcoat, with a roller or by spray, to guarantee durability.
Apply the finish on a clean and dry substrate, within 24 hours of applying Purtop 200 waterproofing
membrane.
For further information, please refer to the Technical Data Sheet of this product.

CLEANING
Because of the high bond strength of Purtop 200, we recommend cleaning tools with solvent naphtha before
it starts to set. Once hardened, cleaning can be carried out only mechanically.

CONSUMPTION
Consumption of Purtop 200 depends on the roughness of the substrate. The theoretical consumption for a
smooth surface with a substrate temperature between +15°C and +25°C is 2.5 kg/m² every 1.5 mm of thickness.
If the substrate is rougher, consumption increases. If the substrate is damaged, we recommend applying a
suitable repairing product beforehand.

PACKAGING
Purtop 200 is supplied in metal drums.
Component A: 8 kg.
Component B: 6 kg.

STORAGE
When stored in its original packaging, in a dry, covered area, at a temperature between +15°C and +25°C, the
shelf life of Purtop 200 is 12 months.
