Key applications

  • Negative-side hydrostatic waterproofing & damp-proofing
  • Potable water tanks, reservoirs & infrastructure (AS4020 / SS375 compliant)
  • Concrete sealing & priming (prevents efflorescence and rising damp)
  • Substrate priming under moisture-sensitive coatings & membranes
  • Green concrete sealing for early-stage protection
  • Strengthening degraded, porous or dust-prone concrete
  • Basements, tunnels & below-grade structures under hydrostatic pressure
  • Industrial & commercial waterproofing requiring chemical resistance

Surface suitability

  • New, old & green concrete
  • Masonry & concrete blocks
  • Cementitious surfaces (screeds, renders, levelling compounds)
  • Stone
  • Timber

Not classified as a trafficable membrane. Not UV resistant — must not be exposed to UV light. Ceases to cure below 10°C; curing is also adversely affected above 85% relative humidity. Confined areas require ventilation during the curing cycle. Tiling must commence within 5 days of cure; sand binding of the final wet coat required.

Frequently asked questions

View all FAQs
  • What is ACTFLEX EP 250 used for?
    Compatibility

    EP 250 is a 2-part water-based epoxy polyamide used as both a primer/sealer and a hydrostatic damp-proof barrier. Approved for potable water tanks, basements, tunnels, and negative-side waterproofing on concrete and masonry substrates.

  • What hydrostatic pressure does it withstand?
    Performance

    EP 250 withstands hydrostatic pressure up to 250 kPa - equivalent to 25 metres of water head. Apply two coats at 150 microns DFT each (300 microns wet film thickness total) for full hydrostatic performance.

  • Coverage and pot life?
    Installation

    Coverage is 1.5 m² per litre for two coats. Two-part mix with pot life of 2 hours at 25°C (1 hour at 35°C). Touch-dry in 4 hours, recoat 4 hours to 5 days, full cure 7 days.

  • What substrates can it bond to?
    Compatibility

    EP 250 bonds to concrete (old, new, or green), masonry, and cementitious substrates. The water-based chemistry penetrates damp surfaces - useful for retrofit waterproofing where the structure can't be fully dried.

  • Is it potable-water certified?
    Compliance

    Yes. EP 250 is certified to AS4020 and SS375 for potable water contact - approved for drinking water tanks and water-treatment applications. Low VOC, non-flammable, odourless.
