TECHNICAL DATA
pH 8+I-.5 Application Trowel or Spray
S.G 1.1 Flash Point Non flammable
LIMITATIONS
Cocoon should not be applied to external walls if inclement weather is forecast before the material dries, this normally takes approximately 4 days @ 25°C and 2 days @ 30°C. If the material is wetted after initial drying, some shrinkage can occur, in this case the loose material should be removed and new Cocoon applied. Do not apply to surfaces that have free or running water present.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Sweep the surface of the masonry to remove any loose sand or salts to provide a reasonably sound surface. Dispose of material removed from the surface to an appropriate land fill area.
APPLICATION
Mask and cover areas if spraying. After preparation, apply one coat of Cocoon by trowel or spray at the rate of 6 to 7kg of mixed material per square metre. This will provide a wet film thickness of approximately 10mm. It is preferable that the surface is left with the textured finish to provide a greater surface area. However, trowelling the surface flat to provide a more even finish can be done without effecting the poulticing too much. Leave each application for a minimum of 14 days before removal unless directed otherwise by the manufacturer.
REMOVAL
To remove the Cocoon (normally after 2 to 6 weeks) simply peel from the substrate and dispose of removed material to an appropriate land fill area.
CLEAN UP & PACKAGING
If allowed to dry, the Cocoon will peel off and any residue will wash off with water. Flush machinery thoroughly with clean water after spraying.
Container Size 20 Litre & 200 Litre containers.
