Surface Preparation
 
The application surface should be dry, dust free, oil free and clean. If the application is to be made on the existing water isolation, the water isolation should be in good condition, and properly slopped to avoid water accumulation.
 
Application
 
It should be applied cold. It is highly recommended to mix it when the box is opened, before and during use. It should be made sure that the surface is dry and clean, and it is applied in single coat using brush, roller or spray equipment. Organic solvents are used for cleaning.
 
Consumption
 
The approximate amount of consumption is 250 g/m2 on bituminous surfaces and 150-200 g/m2 on metallic surfaces, although it depends on the surface condition.
