Solutions for Waterproofing & Tile Application in Water Tanks

Surface Preparation

It should be ensured that the reinforced concrete or plastered surface is free of residues that will prevent adhesion, clean, dry and sound. If there are defects on the application sub-surface, it should be repaired with 4002 Tamirart 30 thick repair mortar. If there are structural cracks on the surface, 4004 Tamirart S40 should be used. 4505 Kalekim Astar (Primer) should be applied before application of waterproofing material for extremely absorbent surfaces.


Waterproofing Application

3024 Izolatex Plus, which is a cement based, two component, waterproofing material and has certificate of compliance for use in drinking water reservoirs, must be applied for under-tile waterproofing in water reservoirs. Existing floor wall and corner joints should be reinforced with Kalekim Pah Bandı (Waterproofing Tape) (Type III). The tape should be installed carefully on the waterproofing material, the first layer of which has been applied with a brush or a roller, in a way that the center of the tape matches with the joint. The second layer should be applied after waiting for 5-6 hours between layer application depending on the ambient temperature. After the surface dries, it should be waited for 7 days for full setting and leak-tightness tests should be carried out for 24 hours.


Tiling and Grouting

In the ceramic tile bonding application on waterproofing material S1 class flexible, high performance adhesive mortar 1054 Technoflex should be used. For grouting, 2300 Fugaflex, which is a high performance, flexible grouting mortar with certificate of compliance for use in drinking water reservoirs, should be applied since there will be contact with water.
