Consumption

1,4 – 2,5 kg/m2 in two or three layers.
This coverage is based on application by roller onto a smooth surface in optimum conditions. Factors like surface porosity, temperature and application method can alter consumption. In case of MARISEAL FABRIC reinforcement or application of specific certified system, consumption increases.

Application

Surface Preparation

Careful surface preparation is essential for optimum finish and durability. 
The surface needs to be clean, dry and sound, free of any contamination, which may harmfully affect the adhesion of the membrane.
Maximum moisture content should not exceed 5%. Substrate compressive strength should be at least 25MPa, cohesive bond strength at least 1.5MPa. New concrete structures need to dry for at least 28 days. Old, loose coatings, dirt, fats, oils, organic substances and dust need to be removed by a grinding machine. Possible surface irregularities need to be smoothened. Any loose surface pieces and grinding dust, need to be thoroughly removed.
WARNING: Do not wash surface with water! Do not apply Mariseal 250 on substrates with rising moisture.
Repair of cracks and joints: The careful sealing of existing cracks and joints before the application is extremely important for long lasting waterproofing results.

• Clean concrete cracks and hairline cracks, of dust, residue or other contamination. Prime locally with MARISEAL 710 Primer and allow 2-3 hours to dry. Fill all prepared cracks with MARIFLEX PU 30 sealant. Then apply a layer of MARISEAL 250, 200mm wide centered over all cracks and while wet, cover with a correct cut stripe of MARISEAL Fabric. Press it to soak. Then saturate MARISEAL Fabric with enough MARISEAL 250, until it is fully covered. Allow 12 hours to cure.
• Clean concrete expansion joints and control joints of dust, residue or other contamination. Widen and deepen joints (cut open) if necessary. The prepared movement joint should have a depth of 10-15 mm. The width:depth ratio of the movement joint should be at a rate of approx. 2:1.
• Apply some MARIFLEX PU 30 Joint-Sealant on the bottom of the joint only. Then with a brush, apply a stripe layer of
  MARISEAL 250, 200mm wide centered over and inside the joint. Place MARISEAL Fabric over the wet coating and with a suitable tool, press it deep inside the joint, until it is soaked and the joint is fully covered from the inside. Then fully saturate the
  fabric with enough MARISEAL 250. Then place a polyethylene cord of the correct dimensions inside the joint and press it deep inside onto the saturated fabric. Fill the remaining free space of the joint with MARIFLEX PU 30 sealant. Do not cover. Allow 12-18 hours to cure.

Priming
Prime very absorbent surfaces like concrete, cement screed or wood with MARISEAL 710 or with MARISEAL AQUA PRIMER.
Prime non-absorbent surfaces like metal, ceramic tiles and old coatings, with MARISEAL AQUA PRIMER or with MARISEAL 750.
Prime surfaces like bitumen – asphalt felts & acrylic coatings, with MARISEAL 730 or with MARISEAL AQUA PRIMER.
Prime surfaces like TPO, PP and EPDM, with MARISEAL TPO PRIMER.
For surfaces like PVC, activate with MARISOLV 9010.
Allow the primer to cure according to its TDS.
Waterproofing Membrane
Stir well before using. Pour MARISEAL 250 onto the prepared/primed surface and lay it out by roller, brush or squeegee, until all surface is covered. You can use airless spray allowing a considerable saving of manpower.

ATTENTION: Reinforce always with MARISEAL Fabric at problematic areas, like wall-floor connections, 90o angles, chimneys,
pipes, waterspouts (siphon), etc. (MARISEAL Detail can be also applied locally on its own, on these areas).
Apply on still wet MARISEAL 250, a correct cut piece of MARISEAL Fabric, press it to soak, and saturate again with enough MARISEAL 250. For detailed application instructions with MARISEAL Fabric, contact our R&D department.
We recommend reinforcement of the entire surface, with MARISEAL Fabric. Use 5-10cm stripe overlapping.
After 12-18 hours (not later than 48 hours) apply another layer of MARISEAL250.
For demanding applications, apply a third layer of MARISEAL 250.
ATTENTION: Do not apply MARISEAL 250 over 0.6 mm thickness (dry film) per layer. For best results, the temperature during application and cure should be between 5oC and 35OC. Low temperature retards cure, while high temperature speeds up curing. High humidity may affect the final finish.
For applications that demand thicker layers or better aesthetic results, addition of Mariseal Katalysator up to 3% is
recommended, depending on temperature and humidity.
Finishing
If a colour stable and chalking-free surface is desired, apply one or two layers of MARISEAL 400 Top-Coat over MARISEAL 250.
The application of MARISEAL 400 Top-Coat, is especially required, if a dark final colour, is desired (e.g. red, grey, green).
If a heavy duty, abrasion resistant surface is desired (e.g. Public Pedestrian Deck, Car Parking, etc), apply two layers of MARISEAL
420 Top-Coat with silica sand.
For the several Top-Coats application procedures, please consult their technical instructions or contact our R&D Department.
WARNING: MARISEAL 250 and/or MARISEAL SYSTEM is slippery when wet. In order to avoid slipperiness, sprinkle suitable aggregates onto the still wet coating to create an anti-slip surface. Please contact our R&D Dept. for more information.
Storage Conditions
Pails should be stored in dry and cool rooms for up to 12 months. Protect the material against moisture and direct sunlight. Storage temperature: 5o-35 oC. Products should remain in their original, unopened containers, bearing the manufacturers name, product designation, batch number and application precaution labels.
LIMITATIONS
Mariseal  250 is not suitable for permanent water immersion.
Slight chalking or colour alteration might appear at the surface, after prolonged UV exposure.
Safety measures
MARISEAL 250 contains isocyanates. See information supplied by the manufacturer. For information and advice on the safe handling, storage and disposal of chemical products, users shall refer to the most recent Safety Data Sheet (SDS) containing physical, ecological, toxicological and other safety-related data.
PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY
Our technical advice for use, whether verbal or written, is given in good faith and reflect the current level of knowledge and experience with our products.

*All values represent typical values and are not part of the product specification. In sample preparation MARISEAL KATALYSATOR (3%) was used as
an acceleration additive. Properties may vary based on the quality of film formation which depends on relative humidity, application temperature and wet film thickness. The applied coating might yellow and/or fade upon UV exposure
