Excel-Coat Green-Line Application Guide
Multi-Purpose Waterproofing Membrane:
Between Slab Waterproofing / Below Grade Subterranean Wall Waterproofing /
Under Tile Applications and Pond Linings
1. Curing of concrete shall be by means of water cure or dissipating compounds. Curing compounds shall be approved by an authorized representative of Excellent Coatings International
2. Concrete shall be cured a minimum of 28 days prior to the installation of membrane unless approved by an authorized representative of Excellent Coatings International
3. Concrete finish shall be a power metal float followed by a light steel trowel and fine-medium hair broom finish, or equivalent.
4. Concrete surfaces shall be free of excessive roughness, voids, protrusions or exposed aggregate.
5. Concrete block joints shall be finished flush with block or filled to provide a flat even surface to apply coating system.
6. Metal shall be bonderized (etched and galvanized), rust-free and a minimum 26 gauge.
7. All tooled joints, control joints and expansion joints shall be cleaned, primed and caulked with sealant approved by Excellent Coatings International
8. Structural cracks (1/16 inch or greater) shall be routed, primed, and filled with epoxy crack repair material.
Note: Do not apply over non-structural lightweight concrete without prior written approval.
APPLICATION:
1. Roll the Excel-Coat Green-Line V onto the deck surface all the rate of 50 square feet per gallon. Immediately install (if used) the reinforcing fabric into the wet coat. Smooth fabric with a trowel or brush, making sure there are no wrinkles or bubbles in the fabric. Allow to dry 4-6 hours. Dry times may vary.
Note: The cured film thickness shall be 18-20 mils. with fabric and 12-15 mils. without fabric.
2.
Using care, visually inspect the membrane. Any wrinkles, blisters or
voids should be cut out and the waterproofing material reapplied.
3. Allow approximately 8 hours to properly cure. Dry times may vary.
4. Apply an additional coat of Excel-coat Green-Line V at an average rate of 100 square feet per gallon.
5. After installation of the second coat of Excel-Coat Green-Line V, water-test all horizontal surfaces. This should be done after the membrane has cured at least 36 hours.
6. If a Protection Fabric is used, roll a third coat of Excel-Coat Green-Line V while still wet. Install the Protection Fabric in a smooth and wrinkle free manner, lapping seams a minimum of 2". Allow approximately 12 hours to cure. Dry times may vary.
7. If Excel-Coat Green-Line V is used as an under- tile membrane, install a slurry coat of Excel-Crete as a protection course over the membrane instead of Protection Fabric, prior to installation of the tile.
Note: The total cured film thickness of the complete waterproofing system shall be 30-40 mils.
Under Tile Application over Plywood Substrates:
Install galvanized metal lath and Excel-Crete per the Excel-Coat Fire System
Application Guide prior to installation of the Excel-Coat Green Line V membrane
and the Excel-Crete slurry coat as a protection course.
APPLICATION:
1. If concrete block is used instead of tilt-up concrete, the surface to be waterproofed shall be smooth, and, if necessary, parging shall be implemented prior to installing the waterproofing membrane.
2. For additional strength, reinforcing fabric may be used.
3. Apply a coat of Excel-Coat Green-Line V on the below-grade wall at the rate of 50 square feet per gallon. Immediately install reinforcing fabric (if used) into the wet coat. Smooth fabric with a trowel or brush. Allow material to dry approximately 4-6 hours. Dry times may vary.
4. Roll a coat of Excel-Coat Green-Line V onto the vertical wall at a rate of 100 square feet per gallon. Allow material to dry for approximately 2-4 hours. Dry times may vary.
5. Using care, visually inspect the membrane. Any wrinkles, blisters or voids should be cut out and the waterproofing material reapplied.
6. Roll a third coat of Excel-Coat Green-Line V at the rate of 100 square feet per gallon and install the Protection Fabric in a smooth and wrinkle-free manner, lapping seams a minimum of 2". Allow total system to cure approximately 12 hours before backfill begins. If drainage board is to be used, consult your Excellent Coatings International, representative for product recommendations.
Note: Colder weather will slow the curing process of all Excel-Coat products.
FYI: Excel-Coat Green-Line V is a co-polymer that does not crack or get brittle over time. This material can be brought up above the fill line, to the stucco line or header; but it must be painted / textured to protect membrane from damage.
