DESCRIPTION/USE
Terra Tite is a brushable terracotta coloured elastomeric water borme modiified acrylic waterproofing membrane. It has been specially formulated as a single pack, environmentally friendly memb rane suitable for both interior and exterior conditions. Terra Tite is also suitable for permanent immersion in water.

PREPARATION
The surface should preferably be dry, it may be slightly damp but must not be wet. All traces of dirt, oil, dust, grease, rust, loose or flaking paint should be removed from the surface befor applying Terra Tite. It is highly recommended to use Bondall Substrate surface conditioner prior to application of Terra Tite, particulary when coating highly porous substrates such as: limestone, sandstone, insulation blocks, foamed concrete,Besser and HEBEL blocks

SUITABLE SURFACES: Uses for Terra Tite include waterproofing wet areas within buildings such as shower recesses, bathrooms, laundries and kitchens. Terra Tite accommodates for moderate cracking of the substrate.
 

Terra Tite is suitable for concrete slabs and decks for terraces and balconies 
prior to being covered with tiles, slate, marble or other toppings.

Terra Tite can be applied to planter boxes, terracotta pots, non-potable water tanks, fish ponds, roofs and retaining walls.

Allow fresh concrete and rendered surfaces to fully cure before coating 
( typically 4-6 weeks).

Terra Tite can be used not only for waterproofing applications but also as a permament tile adhesive, gutter repairs etc.

It is not suitable for used over Silasec treated surfaces or Bondcrete sealed surfaces.

In pond situations, it is recommended that plastic film is used underneath concrete to prevent continuous absorption from the ground, otherwise the coating may not dry adequately.

APPLICATION
Brush on application, can be trowelled or spread on to surface. Work on small areas at a time and finish well as you coat. Apply second coat at right angles to the first coat for a smoother finish and to remove pinholes. Do not apply when below 10 C or above 85% Relative Humidity or when rain is forecast within four hours, otherwise coating may be washed off. When coating on hot substrateseg. Above 30 C, it is preferable to cool the surface with water mist spray and coat whilst surface is dry or damp, but not wet. Protect coated surface from rain with tarp and provide plenty of ventilation.

THINNING
If substrate is highly porouseg: limestone, sandstone, insulation blocks the surface should be primed with Terra Tite diluted with 10% water and primer coat allowed to dry for hoursDRYING
Allow to dry about 24 hours between coats. Allow last coat to dry 7 days or longer before continuos immersion in water. Allow extra drying time if conditions are cold, damp or humid.COVERAGE
Do not exceed 1.5 square metres per litres per coat. A minimum of 2 undiluted equal coats is required. Calculate surface area accurately. 4 litres covers 3 square metres at correct thickness.
Volume required (litres) = Area (sq.m) * 4/3
Use up all required material regardless of number of coats.

COLOUR
Terracotta

GLOSS LEVEL
Matt Finish

CLEAN UP
Easy clean up in hot or cold water immediately after application using a stiff bristle or wire brush. Turps may be soften hardened material on eqipment. Do not pour contents or washings down sinks or drains.

FILLING OF PONDS
Leave to dry 7 days or longer in cooler, humid conditions befor filling and rinsing pond. Fill pond with clean water and leave for 1-2 days. Empty pond and refill with fresh water. Prior to introducing fish perform tests for correct bacteria levels, pH, kH, ammonium, nitrate, phosphateion, chlorine, excess metals. To achieve desired level treat as necessary.

GAPS AND CRACKS
Bondall Terra Tite is not a filler. Any holes or cracks in the surface should be filled with polyurethane mastic, polyester filler ( eg. Car body putty ) according to manufacturers' directions or fine sand: cement mortar ( 3:1 pbr ) worked into the area. A bondbreaker is required to accommodate substrate movement eg. Corner. First generously coat about 75mm wide each side of the gap and embed Bondalls' Polyweave reinforcing fabric into the Terra Tite. Follow by a fully saturated coat and allow to dry. Once dry, additional coats may be required to ensure the entire Polyweave fabric is covered without pinholes.

SIZE
1, 2, 4 & 10 litres

PRECAUTIONS/FIRST AID
It is recommended that normal personal protective clothing should be worn, including coveralls, impervious gloves and goggles. Avoid unnecessary skin contact and inhalation - use a suitable respirator if spray application is employed.

Should contact with eyes occur, flush with water for 15 minutes, seek medical attention if irritation develops.

If swallowed, contact a doctor or the Poison Information Centre on 13 11 26. Give water to drink and do not induce vomiting.
