Starter Kit - Forspec Bathroom Waterproofing Premium

• Internal and external wet areas - bathrooms, showers, laundries, balconies, podiums, courtyards and non-exposed rooftops
• Under-tile anti-efflorescence barrier
• Beneath screed beds in FORSPEC screed systems
• Direct-stick tiling with ACTFLEX BIOSET over the cured membrane
• Floor-to-wall junctions in internal and external wet areas, detailed with ACTFLEX MESH TAPE
• Cove fillets at drains, penetrations and junctions with ACTFLEX MS PRO
• Tap penetrations in bathrooms, laundries and kitchens, detailed with a FORSPEC SUPERFLEX COLLAR
• Priming of internal surfaces where high adhesion is required, with ACTFLEX 500 NP PRIMER

Surface suitability

• Concrete (newly poured concrete cured a minimum of 28 days before application)
• Rendered surfaces (minimum 7 days curing, thickness-dependent)
• Cement screeds (solid, level, void- and crack-free, wood-trowel finished, dried 48 hours to 5 days)
• Masonry (primed within approved systems)
• Abraded PVC panels (sanded to promote adhesion and cleaned thoroughly, no primer required)
• Cured damp surfaces (surface-dry, free of standing water and active leakage)

The membrane governs the limits of this kit. ACTFLEX 989 CWP is not a stand-alone UV-exposed membrane and not a permanent trafficable surface; it is always covered by tiles, screed, pavers or an approved finish. Never apply below 10C or above 35C, ambient or substrate, or when rain is imminent. Never dilute with water or solvent. Mechanical mixing only, never by hand. Recoat, tile, screed or cover within 5 days of the final coat; beyond that, clean with mild detergent and water, dry fully and re-prepare. Confined, poorly ventilated areas cure slowly, so recoat at a minimum of 24 hours and allow a minimum 7 day full cure with mechanical ventilation. The membrane relies on correctly executed bond breakers, fillets and reinforcement at all junctions. Part B powder is a hazardous chemical containing portland cement: it causes serious eye damage, is suspected of causing genetic defects and becomes strongly alkaline when wet, so avoid all dust inhalation and skin contact and wear gloves, protective clothing, eye and face protection and respiratory protection. ACTFLEX 500 NP PRIMER is not a waterproofing membrane and not a moisture barrier. ACTFLEX MESH TAPE and the SUPERFLEX collar are detailing components with no membrane classification and must be embedded within the membrane, never used stand-alone.
