How it works
Clean, dry, roll on. Six simple steps from leaking to sealed.

Blast off dirt, grime and anything loose from the surface.

Let it fully dry before you start - no moisture on top.

Dilute 50% with water and roll an even first coat to key in.

Let the first coat cure before you recoat.

Apply an even, undiluted second coat.

Finish with a third coat for a full clear barrier.

How much do you need?
ACTFLEX 400 seals roughly 3 m2 per kg per coat. Enter your area and coats and we will size the packs and the diluted first coat.
Estimate only. Coverage varies with surface porosity and film thickness. Allow extra for grout lines and corners.
Detailed instructions
-
Surface preparation
The surface must be clean, dry and structurally sound. Pressure clean to remove dirt, grime and loose material. Remove old silicone from corners and around penetrations. Fill any cracks and re-seal corners and missing grout with a clear MS sealant before you coat.
-
Application
Dilute the first coat 50% with water so it keys into the surface, then apply 2 to 3 thin, even coats by brush or roller. Keep coats thin rather than thick - thin coats cure evenly and stay clear.
-
Dry & recoat times
Touch dry in roughly 60 to 120 minutes depending on temperature. Leave at least 4 hours between coats. Waterproof in about 3 hours at 25°C and 50% humidity.
-
Weather & conditions
Apply between +10°C and +26°C. Do not apply if rain is expected within 24 hours. Keep the surface free of standing water and ponding while it cures.
-
Coverage
Around 3 m² per kg per coat, surface dependent. As a guide 1KG seals ~3 m², 3KG ~9 m² and 7KG ~21 m² per coat. Use the coverage calculator above to size it for your job.
-
Cleaning up
Clean tools and any spills with water while the product is still wet. Once cured it is water resistant and much harder to remove.
-
Storage
Store sealed and out of direct sun between +5°C and +30°C. Shelf life is around 12 months sealed. Reseal the container tightly between coats.
-
Maintenance
Inspect annually and after major storms. Re-coat high-wear or high-traffic areas as needed to keep the barrier intact.

Balconies
Cut out the old silicone, sealed the corners, then rolled three thin coats over the existing tiles.
The leak into the bedroom below stopped and the clear finish kept the tiles on show.
Roofs
Pressure cleaned the concrete roof tiles, let them dry, then applied a diluted first coat and two build coats.
Sealed a persistent roof leak without the cost and disruption of a full re-roof.
Bathrooms
Re-sealed corners and grout lines in the shower, then coated the tiled walls and floor.
Stopped water tracking into the adjoining wall - no tiles removed.
Parapets
Sealed joints along the parapet upstand, then coated the tops and faces.
Water ingress at the wall junction resolved on a commercial building.
Concrete
Filled hairline cracks, primed with a diluted first coat, then two full coats across the slab.

Rendered walls
Cleaned the render, let it dry, then rolled two coats over the face.
Damp coming through the render stopped, and the wall still looks the same.
