D+ WOBOXY – Epoxy Resin Based Waterproofing Compound

D+ WOBOXY is a two-component epoxy resin-based waterproofing compound. One part consists of epoxy resin and the other part of curing agent. After mixing both components, the product can be thinned down with water.

D+ WOBOXY provides properties associated with solvent-based epoxy compositions, including water and chemical resistance, adhesion, hardness, toughness and mechanical strength. A key feature stated in the datasheet is that D+ WOBOXY can also be applied on damp surfaces. Being free from solvents, it does not pose a health hazard to the applicator as stated in the datasheet, and it is described as consistent and economical to apply.

Advantages

• Water dilutable.
• Water based.
• Penetrates concrete/plaster surfaces.
• Seals porosity and networks of fine cracks.
• Reduces water permeability.
• Forms a hard, tough and strong film after curing.
• Strong bonding to cement concrete, mortar, plaster and asbestos sheet.
• Excellent resistance to water.
• Excellent resistance to salt water.
• Excellent resistance to dilute acids.
• Excellent resistance to alkalis.
• Excellent resistance to soap water and other chemicals.
• Excellent resistance to positive (hydrostatic) water pressure.
• Eco-friendly and non-toxic in nature.
• Can be applied on damp surfaces.

Application

D+ WOBOXY is suitable for:

• Cement-concrete water storage tanks.
• Damp walls – interior and exterior.
• Primer before painting – interior and exterior.
• Undercoat before applying primer coat on roof terrace and internal walls.
• Toilet walls.
• Kitchen walls.
• Coating on walls of breweries and food processing industries.
• Primer before coating in food and drug industries.
• Putty with OPC white cement for filling fine cracks of external walls.
• Hatcheries.
• Aqua farms.

Surface Preparation

The substrate should be thoroughly cleaned and free from dirt, paint, oil, grease, sludge, blistered and loose plaster, fungus and moss. Thorough wire brushing followed by sanding with emery paper is recommended. Dust should then be removed using compressed air, a paint brush or a water-soaked cloth.

Consumption / Coverage

The specified coverage is:

70–80 sq.ft. per kg per coat.
