Aqua Seal 2K Water Proofing by Kerala Paints

Inspired by nature

The colocasia leaf

Rain falls on a colocasia leaf and simply rolls away; water never gets a hold. Aqua Seal 2K gives concrete and masonry that same quiet resistance, monsoon after monsoon.

Kerala Paints Aqua Seal 2K waterproofing is a two-part, polymer-modified, flexible cement waterproofing system. It helps reduce water seepage through well-prepared concrete and masonry surfaces.

It combines an acrylic polymer solution with a cement-based powder. When mixed and applied as recommended, it forms a continuous waterproof coating. Aqua Seal 2K is suitable for specified applications such as foundations, basements, damp-wall treatment, bathrooms, terraces, concrete water tanks and swimming pools.

For the recommended exposed terrace and roof system, apply one coat of Aqua Seal 2K followed by one coat of Kerala Paints Cool Coat. Aqua Seal 2K should not be left exposed to direct sunlight as the final coating in this system.

    2. Bring the substrate to Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) condition.
    3. Apply the coating uniformly.
    4. Allow appropriate curing and protect the treated surface from damage.

    Subsequent construction may proceed after approximately five days, subject to suitable curing and site conditions.

    3. Repair cracks, holes and other defects where necessary.
    4. Prepare the surface to SSD condition.
    5. Apply one uniform coat of Aqua Seal 2K.
    6. Allow approximately 12 hours before the subsequent putty and painting system.

    Base the treatment height and extent on the affected area and moisture source. Active seepage, rising dampness and plumbing leaks may need additional corrective work.

Ordinary decorative paint should not automatically be treated as a waterproofing solution. The right product depends on the surface and source of moisture. A dedicated waterproofing system may be needed, and active leaks or structural moisture problems may require separate repairs.

What should I check when choosing a paint waterproofer?

Check the intended surface, moisture exposure, preparation requirements, application method, number of coats and compatible finishing system. Choose a product designed for the particular application and follow its technical instructions.

NEED HELP CHOOSING THE RIGHT WATERPROOFING SYSTEM?
