Application Rates
Normal: 1 gallon per 200 square feet (1 liter to 5 square meters) on average. Can vary depending on substrate absorption, including the age of concrete and original density.
Application Method
1. On Day 1 – Apply TechCrete 2500 Waterproofing Agent in accordance with its directions and application rates. When the surface becomes touch dry – (usually 2-6 hours depending on wind conditions and ambient temperature) flood spray the treated areas with water. If the product is still wet at 6 hours, begin first watering.
2. On Day 2 – 24 hours after application of TechCrete 2500 Waterproofing Agent, apply ACR Crack & Void Treatment to all cracks that are less than 5/64” (2.0 mm), then apply ACR Accelerating Agent to the entire surface of the concrete.
3. On Day 3 – 24 hours later water again.
4. After the third watering, block drains and pond area for a minimum of 12 hours to verify the waterproof seal.
