and steel.
- Fast-cure
- 100% solid content
- Excellent penetration and adhesion to substrate
The surfaces of new concrete should be lightly blast abraded or mechanically abraded to
remove laitance. Dust and debris created from blasting or sanding should be removed by
sweeping or vacuum cleaner. Surface must be clean, sound, smooth and free from dust,
laitance, loose matter, oil or other contaminants.
Pour the hardener into the resin and mix thoroughly for 5 minutes until the colour is uniform
using a low speed drill at 200 to 300 rpm. Do not mix more than is required because the
material will gel and harden.
Heat is generated when the resin and hardener reacts and temperatures will increase over
time. Apply soon after mixing. Never mix more than one batch at a time in a single container
as this may cause a premature exothermic reaction with production of intense heat and
smoke.
Apply SILCOR® Primer BW N105-DT by brush, roller or rubber squeegee. Application
temperatures must be between 10°C and 40°C with <85% relative humidity, and at
least 3°C above the dew-point temperature.

What is SILCOR® liquid waterproofing?
SILCOR® is a high performing seamless, liquid waterproofing system for podium decks, green roofs and terraces. Based on advanced chemistries, SILCOR® products are fully adhered, elastomeric waterproofing barriers offering design and application flexibility through spray as well as squeegee application.
Design flexibility with waterproofing confidence
For architects, SILCOR® liquid waterproofing removes several constraints. SILCOR® is truly seamless and will conform to nearly any surface. As such, SILCOR® will accommodate almost any design without compromising waterproofing performance, while being fully compatible with GCP's other waterproofing product solutions.
Build faster without sacrificing water protection
SILCOR® liquid waterproofing also proves its usefulness on the job site. There's no longer any need to halt construction due to strong odours or an obstructed surface. Most importantly, SILCOR® is applied without the need for kettles, propane or open flames. SILCOR® liquid waterproofing lets builders install waterproofing safely and without calling a halt to other construction.
Backed by a world-class reputation
When it's time to invest in waterproofing, invest in a proven technology that comes from one of the world's most trusted manufacturers. GCP has been in the liquid waterproofing business for more than 20 years. SILCOR® liquid waterproofing has been used in projects ranging from Hong Kong's MTR to Crossrail in London.
