Flowthane

CSIRO certified CLASS 111- High extensibility (AS4858) ((Report 3259-1)) fast cure elasticised, water-based, waterproof membrane.

FLOWTHANE is a CSIRO certified CLASS 111- High extensibility (AS4858) ((Report 3259-1)) – 2004, fast cure elasticised, water-based, waterproof membrane available in a variety of colours. FLOWTHANE is designed for use in demanding internal and external waterproofing applications, including areas of significant movement. Properly applied, FLOWTHANE cures to form a durable, elastic, seamless, odourless and impervious membrane that will not re-emulsify once it has dried/fully cured even if continually immersed in water. FLOWTHANE is also supplied with reinforcement in the form of non-degradable polypropylene fibres. CSIRO Revaluation: Flowthane was reevaluated for compliance with the initial CSIRO evaluation and passed within the parameters set out by the CSIRO. Test report Number 5282 A.

Advantages

FLOWTHANE has a number of positive characteristics encompassing fast curing, water-based non, non-hazardous composition with excellent bonding and superior elongation characteristics. The membrane will not re-emulsify once it dries. In a particular reinforced form, it avails itself to single-coat application, achieving the correct dry film membrane thickness in one coat. Flowthane exhibits very high test results as tested against AS4858 by the CSIRO.

Limitation

Flowthane is not classified as UV resistant and should never be used in any situation where it will be left exposed to sunlight for prolonged periods however, Flowthane can be left exposed for periods of up to 3 months without demonstrated effect. The tints used in Flowthane are highly UV resistant.

Applications

FLOWTHANE has been specifically designed for most waterproofing requirements, including the long-term waterproofing of wet areas within buildings (shower recesses, bathrooms, laundries), concrete and timber decks, terraces, balconies, roofs, flashings, planter boxes, retaining walls, and more. It is suitable for topping. FLOWTHANE must be applied in accordance with all appropriate sections of AS3740/2004 and the Building Code of Australia.
