APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Alka 305 is supplied in ready-to-use pails.

Preparation:
Surface must be clean, sound, smooth and dust-free as well as oil-free.
A compatible primer. Epoxy should be applied to ensure membrane adhesion to the substrate and to prevent outgassing from the concrete.
In the case of high porosity, wet concrete (humidity >5%) or in any doubt, it is recommended to use a hydro-epoxy primer. Compatibility of the primer with the membrane must be checked prior to application.

Alka 305 can be applied with a brush or a roller to the desired thickness.
2 coats of 0.8 L/m2 (1.04 kg/m2) are required to achieve a dry film thickness (DFT) of 1.2 mm. For UV resistance, coating thickness must abide by the numbers given on this Technical Datasheet. A thinner coating will result in premature degradation. Application temperature of Alka 305 is >5°C to 35°C.
Alka 305 can be subject to light foot traffic after 24 hours.
