Elasto-Deck BT from Durotech ELASTO-DECK BT is a black, liquid applied single-component moisture-cured polyurethane coating, designed to form a seamless, flexible rubber membrane impervious to moisture. It is suitable for use in showers, balconies and other wet areas as described in Australian Standard AS3740-2004 - "Waterproofing Wet areas within Residential Buildings. ELASTO-DECK BT, once cured, allows contraction and expansion over a broad temperature range and maintains waterproofing properties under continuous exposure to water. ELASTO-DECK BT remains flexible from -20°C to 80°C. ELASTO-DECK BT waterproof membrane is intended for use wherever overflow water must be contained. TYPICAL USES ARE
- Waterproofing in between concrete slabs, such as parking decks, roof decks or courtyard areas over subterranean parking.
- Waterproofing below grade exterior walls or foundations and basements or other structures that are to be backfilled
- Waterproofing under terrazzo or tiled floors.
- Waterproofing under wet areas including laundry and bathroom floors.
- Waterproofing inside of elevated swimming pools.
- Waterproofing of occupied areas under malls, plazas and promenades.
- Waterproofing of emergency water storage tanks for fire sprinklers. (ELASTO-DECK BT Reservoir Grade should be used for potable water.)
ADVANTAGES - ELASTO-DECK BT is a single-component compound that may be used directly from the container with no mixing required.
- The addition of catalysts are not necessary, as ELASTO-DECK BT is a moisture cured compound.
- May be applied by spray equipment, brush, roller, squeegee or trowel, without the need for heating the material.
- May be applied over concrete, stone, brick, cement blocks, wood, metal, compressed sheeting and most other surfaces.
- ELASTO-DECK BT cuts cost of application by eliminating mixing, splicing, sealing tapes, adhesives and other labour consuming methods required when installing other conventional types of waterproofing systems.
- The superior flexibility and elongation properties of ELASTO-DECK BT allows expansion and contraction with the substate, without cracking or becoming brittle.
- Does not contain any potentially hazardous coal tar.
- When fully cured ELASTO-DECK BT does not exhibit leaching or bleed through.
- When installed to the above specifications this system conforms to AS 3740-2004 ("Waterproofing of wet areas within residential buildings.")
