Graphenstone StopWater Premium

Graphenstone StopWater Premium is a temporary anti-humidity treatment which allows for the application of paint on surfaces with humidity.

Best Uses

Graphenstone StopWater Premium is ideal as a temporary moisture retaining paint for basements walls, ceilings and any internal walls that suffer from humidity. It works by penetrating the substrate while not forming an impermeable layer or altering the substrate's breathability. StopWater also acts as a consolidator of mineral substrates. The product degrades as a result of the high pH of Graphenstone coatings.

Preparation

Firstly, we highly recommend locating and repairing the primary source of the damp to help ensure a lasting solution. Next you will need to prepare the surface. The substrate must be dry, firm, well adhered, even, and free of any impurities that could hinder the perfect bonding of the product. Ensure that any organic growth and/or other impurities are removed by thorough cleaning, using specific products for this purpose, such as Centrecoat GS36 Fungicidal Wash. 

If the substrate is not well adhered, remove the non-adherent areas by scraping and brushing. If the substrate has any salt deposits, brush and apply Graphenstone Neutralysal Premium.

Application

Shake and dilute 1:1 with water to ensure a good mix, and apply in one even coat.
