DESCRIPTION |
POLYAC® BDM-AL is a highly reactive, flexible, liquid and easy to apply, elastomeric waterproofing membrane or wear layer with very high durability even at low temperatures.
POLYAC® BDM-AL can be used as a waterproofing membrane or as a wear layer.
Note: The following is a typical application description. In case of other jobsite parameters, please contact our technical department.
Before starting the substrate preparation and applying the products, it is important to test various parameters in order to achieve a good and sustainable result.
Compressive strength of the substrate: min. 25 N/mm2 Tensile strength of the substrate: min. 1,5 N/mm²
POLYAC® BDM-AL must be applied on a dry surface.
Moisture content in the substrate: ≤ 5% moisture.
Exception: ≤ 10% moisture if the primer POLYAC® 18 is used. Conditions during the application and curing: see “Application conditions” further described in this technical data sheet. Technically studied dilatation joints must be provided. These are resumed in the synthetic resin system to be installed.
The flatness of the surface must be consistent with the desired requirements. If this is not the case, then correct measures have to be taken to fill in or smooth out the irregularities with products that are complementary to the substrate and to the synthetic resin system to be installed.
Shrink joints and passive cracks can be coated. This on condition that they are not used as dilatation joints or if they do not follow other movements of the structure and the substrate and that they are flattened with products that are complementary to the substrate and to the synthetic resin system to be installed.
Mixer with spindle (min. 300 rpm).
Spatula, rake or toothed trowel.
Spiked roller.
Masking tape.
POLYAC® BDM-AL is always applied on a suitable primer depending on the type of substrate.
POLYAC® 12: Dry, form-retaining, mineral substrates. POLYAC® 14: Moving or less form-retaining mineral substrates, asphalt or bituminous membranes. POLYAC® 15: Metal. POLYAC® 18: Damp, form-retaining, mineral substrates. (Always consult the POLYAC® primers technical data sheets) It is not necessary to place a primer on existing POLYAC® systems before applying POLYAC® BDM-AL. Before applying the primer:
Cracks, joints and other parts that show water leaks must first be made completely water-tight and leak-proof.
The surface must be mechanically pre-treated. This can be achieved by removing the dust by bullet- or sandblasting or by grinding the surface. Tiles are to be degreased well and grinded with a diamond blade. These treatments ensure that an open texture surface is obtained, to remove the cement skin from concrete and old remnants of coatings and adhesives.
High pressure water jetting is possible but then the surface must dry sufficiently before applying the primer. (Moisture content in the substrate: ≤ 5% moisture. Exception: ≤ 10% moisture if the primers POLYAC® 18 is used.
Always apply the products on a clean surface, free from adhesion reducing materials such as dirt, oil, grease, old coatings or surface treatments, …
The parts of the surfaces to be coated that do not meet the requirements as described above (compressive strength, tensile strength, parts that are not well connected, …) must be treated or removed and repaired according to a correct method and with products that are complementary to the substrate and the synthetic resin system to be installed. Remove any loose parts by brushing properly and remove dust with an industrial vacuum cleaner.
The surface must be mechanically pre-treated. This can be achieved by removing the dust by bullet- or sandblasting or by sanding the surface. The degree of roughness for metal surfaces is SA 21/2. Remove rust by sandblasting. The surface must be dry and free of impurities such as grease, oil or dust.
Galvanized steel is thoroughly cleaned in advance with water and soap or sandblasted. Degrease metal surfaces immediately after the mechanical preparation with SOLVENT MEK. After the SOLVENT MEK has fully evaporated, immediately apply a layer of POLYAC® 15 to prevent the steel from re-oxidizing.
Mix all POLYAC® BDM-AL components well before use to obtain a good paraffin distribution. Dispense an amount of resin that can be processed within 15 minutes. Add one package of POLYAC® PTC per 25 kg of POLYAC® BDM-AL. This mixture remains stable for 8 hours. If a different colour is desired than the standard colours described in this technical data sheet, you can now add 2,5% pigment powder to the mixture and mix it completely again until a homogeneous mass is achieved.
Add 1 to 5% of POLYAC® CATALYST.

PREPARATION OF THE EQUIPMENT
Always work with clean mixing containers and application material.
OPTION 1: As anti-slip wear layer:

Always apply 2 layers. (Waterproofing layer + protective layer) First apply the waterproofing layer POLYAC® BDM-M+ with a inbedded reinforcement fleece POLYAC® REINFORCEMENT FLEECE. Spread a layer of POLYAC® BDM-M+ on the surface (approx. 1 mm thick). Immediately (wet in wet) apply the fleece in the resin without creases or bulbs and pour another sufficient amount (wet in wet) of POLYAC® BDM-M+ onto this and spread out (approx. 1.5 mm thick). After this waterproofing layer has cured, apply the protective layer POLYAC® BDM-AL, spread out and deaerate immediately with a spiked roller. Only this last layer is then fully broadcasted with dry quartz grain after spreading and levelling and this within the processing time described in this technical data sheet. Minimum quartz grain size is 0,4 – 0,8 mm.
Note: Do not disturb the paraffin layer that occurs during curing.
