Fosroc Dekguard A Plus is formulated to protect atmospherically exposed reinforced concrete structures, cementitious substrates and masonry from aggressive elements, weathering and rain. Fosroc Dekguard A Plus is suitable for use on all types of structures, including those in coastal environments. It is equally suitable for new and existing structures.
Fosroc Dekguard A Plus is a component of Fosroc’s Renderoc system of concrete reinstatement. Fosroc Dekguard A Plus is suitable for principles 1.3, 2.2 and 8.2 as defined by BS EN 1504-2
The Fosroc Dekguard A Plus system comprises a single component, penetrating silane-siloxane primer and a single component pigmented coating, both ready for immediate site use. A range of reactive primers are available to suit substrate porosity and site conditions and inhibit the passage of water and waterborne contaminants.
See product data sheet. Dekguard Primer should be applied in one or more coats until the recommended application rate of 0.4 litre per square metre has been achieved. This is best accomplished by using portable spray equipment of the knapsack-type. Porous surfaces may require the application of Dekguard CP as an alternative primer, or may require other special treatment. If in doubt about the condition of the substrate consult our technical team.
All primed substrates should be treated with two coats of Fosroc Dekguard A Plus. Stir material before use. Application may be by brush, roller or airless spray. The first coat should be applied to achieve a uniform coating with a wet film thickness not less than 180 microns. This coat should be allowed to dry until firm to the touch. Typically, this will be after 6 hours in dry weather at 20°C.
The second coat of Fosroc Dekguard A Plus should be applied as detailed above, again achieving a wet film thickness not less than 180 microns and a total dry film thickness not less than 150 microns.
Fosroc Dekguard A Plus should not be applied over elastomeric coatings.
