FLEXIBLE, WATER-PROOF, JOINTLESS FOIL FOR INSULATION LAYER OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

FOR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL USE

USE

ATLAS WODER E is a very elastic, one-component type of foil designed for sealing absorbent mineral substrates such as cellar plasters, cement-lime plasters, concrete and cement jointless floors. It is particularly recommended for sealing surfaces that may be destroyed in contact with moisture e.g. gypsum plasters and plasterboard panels. ATLAS WODER E can be used to cover OSBs and zinc coated sheets after preparation of the contact layer on such surfaces using ATLAS CERPLAST plastering mix. It is suitable for sealing walls and rough floors in rooms with pressure-less water circulation i.e. bathrooms, shower cabins, kitchens, etc. Foil sealing is recommended in particular in wet areas of the rooms: around shower cabins, bathtubs, sinks, etc. It can be also suitable for protecting foundations, cellars, balconies and terraces from moisture. ATLAS WODER E foil together with ATLAS SEALING TAPES, RINGS AND CORNERS forms ATLAS WODER E SEALING SYSTEM. It enables to prepare elastic protection of the whole surfaces as well as room corners, edges of wall and rough floor joints, passages of system pipes, and expansion joints. Adhesives for ceramic tiles can be used on ATLAS WODER E foil e.g. ATLAS ADHESIVE, ATLAS PLUS, ATLAS KARO, ATLAS CAL N, ATLAS BIS and ATLAS ADHESIVE FOR GRES TILES. ATLAS WODER E can be used on rough floors in wall and floor heating systems. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

PROPERTIES

ATLAS WODER E foil is a ready-to-use mass based on polymer dispersion, fillers and modifying agents. It is easy to use and is characterised by very good adhesion. It enables to obtain continuous and elastic watertight insulation. It is frost- and water-proof.

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

The substrate under ATLAS WODER E should be even and structurally sound i.e. strong, stable and free from dust, dirt, salt efflorescence, loose or flaking elements, remains of old paint, oil and other substances that can impede foil adhesion. Scratches and holes in the substrate should be widened mechanically and filled with cement mortar e.g. ATLAS TEN-10. Grind and de-dust dusty and gypsum substrates. If necessary, use ATLAS UNI-GRUNT priming emulsion to reduce substrate’s excessive absorptivity. To improve foil adhesion to very smooth substrates of low absorbability, cover them with ATLAS CERPLAST plastering mix. ATLAS WODER E foil can be applied over completely dried surfaces, which should be confirmed by the following “foil test.” Spread a ca. 1 m2 piece of plastic foil on the substrate. After several minutes, look at the foil surface. If there is condensed water vapour, the substrate is not ready for ATLAS WODER E. ATLAS WODER E is not suitable for application over fibre-plasterboard panels. Freshly made surfaces e.g. plaster or subfloors can be sealed after at least 14 days since they have been completed.

PRODUCT PREPARATION

ATLAS WODER E is a ready-to-use homogenous paste. It may not be combined with other materials, diluted or thickened. Immediately before application, stir in order to achieve homogenous consistency (a slow-speed drill is recommended).

APPLICATION

Place ATLAS WODER E foil on the substrate in at least two layers. The first layer should always be applied with a paintbrush, beginning from places in which ATLAS SEALING TAPES, EDGES AND RINGS will also be used. Put the accessories in the freshly applied ATLAS WODER E. The second layer can be applied when the first one dries completely (after ca. 3 hours). Apply successive layers using a paintbrush or a float made of steel. Cover the resulting layer (after ca. 24 hours) with subfloor, plaster or facing. Protect sealed surfaces from the influence of water (for ca. 3 days). The information comprises basic instructions of product application and does not relieve users of responsibility for work in accordance with good construction practice and OHS regulations.

CONSUMPTION

Total layer thickness should be selected appropriate to the conditions of water effect on the sealed surface. Layer thickness Coverage 1.5 mm ca. 1.5 kg/m² 2.0 mm ca. 2.0 kg/m² 3.0 mm ca. 3.0 kg/m²

TOOLS

Drill with a mixer, trowel or float made of steel, wide paintbrush, paintbrush. Wash the tools with clean water directly after use. Clean the remainder of the set mortar that is difficult to remove with ATLAS SZOP 2000.
