BarrierGuard ® is designed for waterproofing all types of masonry surfaces such as foundation walls, concrete panels, retaining walls and moisture-retaining structures such as gutters, cisterns, and concrete shrubbery boxes. Mixed with water and Portland cement, and fully reinforced with BarrierGuard® fabric, it forms a hard-wearing, flexible compound. It is also resistant to standing water and ideal for subterranean waterproofing.

    Application Guidelines

    Surface Preparation
    Remove any loose or flaking particles, scale, dirt, rust or scale. Masonry surfaces need to be dampened first to prevent moisture loss from slurry.

    Mixing
    Slurry is prepared by mixing (one-part BarrierGuard®, one-part water, and three parts Portland cement). Add BarrierGuard® and water to a clean 5- gallon pail and mix with a slow-speed mechanical mixer for about 1 minute. Slowly add the Portland cement until a totally homogenous and lump-free slurry is produced. Above 80 degrees it is recommended to add ice to cool down the slurry mix to prevent premature gelling.

    Application
    Apply BarrierGuard® slurry to the dampened area and immediately imbed the BarrierGuard® Fabric in the wet slurry. Work out any bubbles or creases with the brush. Fully saturate the Fabric from above with more slurry and allow to dry. Follow with a final coat of BarrierGuard® slurry. BarrierGuard® Fabric should lap by minimum of four inches.

    Coverage
    One gallon of BarrierGuard® will make approximately four gallons of slurry. The slurry will cover approximately 50 square feet of full BarrierGuard® System that is reinforced with fabric, or 250 square feet of single coat priming.
