Koster Mortar Tight - Waterproofing Liquid Additive
Verified by manufacturer 3 months ago
Koster Mortar Tight is a waterproofing liquid additive which prevents the transmission of water through renders, screeds, and/ or sealing slurries.
Application
Koster Mortar Tight can be used for the production of waterproof renders, screeds, and slurries for internal waterproofing of underground structures, such as basements, lift pits, retaining walls, tunnels, below ground structures or swimming pools.
Can also be used externally for the production of water-repellent renders and in various other areas where a waterproof mortar is required such as for tanks, shafts and masonry.
Description
Koster Mortar Tight is a waterproofing liquid additive which prevents the transmission of water through renders, screeds, and/ or sealing slurries.
The additive improves the density of the mortar structure, making the mortar water repellent (hydrophobic). It also promotes the self-healing of microcracks through crystallization.
The impermeability of mortars and slurries also increases against moisture, dampness, hydrostatic pressure and driving rain.
Features and benefits:
- Waterproof liquid additive.
- Positive and negative side waterproofing.
- Free of chlorides and nitrates.
- Substrate does not have to be continually kept wet to cure.
- Inhibits salt movement in the substrate when used as a system together with Koster Polysil TG 500.
- Easy application.
- Seamless application.
- Suitable for new construction and repair on existing structures.
- Horizontal and vertical application.
Always ensure that the intended application is in conformance with the requirements of local building control. The performance of Koster Mortar Tight is dependant on correct on-site mixing and application and only high-quality materials should be used.
