Application
Suitable for sealing and protecting a wide variety of materials, such as concrete, metal, stone, wood, bitumen, zinc, PVC, EPDM (test first), etc. For floors, partitions, walls, seams, joints, conduits and structural components. Excellent for both interior and exterior applications (bathrooms, cellars, balconies, roofs, etc.) including gutters, shower basins, conduit ducts, floor seams, expansion joints, window frame joints and ground level items. Ideal for vertical application on walls and partitions. Also suitable as a waterproof layer under tiles in damp environments such as bathrooms, swimming pools, balconies, terraces, etc.
Handling
Before use
To only be used at temperatures above +5°C.
Surfaces must be dry, clean, and free of dust and grease. The use of a water based acrylic primer on porous or corroded/damaged surfaces can enhance the adherence of HBS-200® and can minimalize bladder formation.
Brush, roller or trowel.
Waterproofing: ± 2.7 l/m2 at a dry film thickness of 2mm. Airtight Construction: ± 1 l/m2 at a dry film thickness of 0.7mm.
During use
Before use, stir manually until a homogenous colour is obtained. It is not recommended to use an electric mixer with a high rotational speed for stirring. Apply in multiple layers. Preferably, let the previous layer properly dry before applying the next layer. Drying time depends on relative humidity, temperature and surface. For seam, crack and tear-bridging applications, GRIFFON GeoTextile should be used. GRIFFON GeoTextile must be applied in still wet HBS-200® Rubber Tix. Then immediately level off with a second layer of HBS-200® Rubber Tix. Always ensure a layer thickness of at least 2 mm after curing. After approximately 60 minutes a surface skin forms, which can be loaded with (light) rainfall after 4 hours. Completely waterproof after 24 hours. At lower temperatures and humid weather conditions, take longer drying times into account. For faster waterproofing of the top layer use HBS-200® Accelerator.
To only be used at temperatures above +5°C. Stir thoroughly by hand before use, do not use an electric mixer. After approximately 60 minutes a surface skin forms, which can be loaded with (light) rainfall after 4 hours. Completely waterproof after 24 hours. At lower temperatures and humid weather conditions, take longer drying times into account. It is strongly recommended not to spray HBS-200 Rubber Tix without wearing gloves, protective clothing, eye and face protection. If a joint sealant is used in combination with HBS-200® Liquid Rubber / Rubber Tix, we strongly recommend to use a neutral silicone sealant, for example GRIFFON S-200, to prevent discoloration of the sealant.
After use
Immediately remove wet residue with water, GRIFFON Wipes or GRIFFON Hand Cleaner. Dried residue can only be removed mechanically.
Properly sealed packages should be stored in a dry, cool, frost-proof location at temperatures between +5°C and +25°C.
