NovaProof

NovaProof
Characteristics
• NovaProof is a polyurethane modified flexible
waterproofing membrane.
• NovaProof is UV stable and is fast curing
allowing second coat to be applied after 1-2hrs
depending on amount applied.
• NovaProof being polyurethane modified does
not require fiberglass reinforcement.
• NovaProof can be used in shower recesses
bathrooms Laundries and light foot trafficable
roofs.
• It can be used over concrete rendered
brickwork block work fibre cement Gyprock
and particle board surfaces.
• NovaProof can be used for internal and external
applications.
• NovaProof is a class III membrane and
conforms to AS/NZS4858 ‘wet area
membranes’.
Handy Tips
• Do Not apply NovaProof in temperatures above
38°C and below 5°C.
• NovaProof cannot be used in areas where
negative hydrostatic pressure is evident.
• NovaProof cannot be immersed in water for at
least 2-5 days after application.
• Ensure NovaProof is totally dry and the surface
has no pinholes prior to applying any adhesive/
coatings.
• For applications/situations not mentioned in this
data sheet please contact Novatex Products Pty
Ltd.

Preparation
• Ensure new concrete is allowed to cure for a minimum of 6 weeks in
accordance with AS 3958.1-1991.
• Allow rendered surfaces to cure for a minimum of 7 days prior to tiling.
• Ensure surfaces are sound dry and free from movement oil grease wax
dust and any curing and release agents.
• Steel toweled finished concrete surfaces must be mechanically or
chemically abraded prior to tilling.
• The concrete must not exceed 5mm in 3meters maximum variation of
plane for floors and 4mm in 2 meters for walls.
• Pour primer onto floor surface and spread the primer using a brush roller
or broom ensuring the entire area is primed.
• Allow primer to dry for approximately 5 minutes before commencing
waterproofing.
Mixing
• NovaProof is a one part premixed product that does not require mixing.
Application
• Once the substrate has been appropriately prepared in accordance with the
above instructions then.
• Apply a 5mm silicone bead to all joints (contact Novatex Products for
correct silicone).
• Apply the first coat of NovaProof to the primed surface using a brush or
roller.
• Once first coat has dried apply a second coat of NovaProof at a 90° to
the first. This will ensure that complete coverage is achieved and no air
bubbles exist.
• A third coat may be required if imperfections are present in the membrane.
• A final inspection is recommended over surface to make sure no pinholes
are evident prior to tiling.
• Once waterproofing is completed allow NovaProof to dry for a minimum of
24hrs at 20°C.
• Applied minimum thickness for NovaProof is. 0.75mm of dry film.
Clean Up
• Excess NovaProof can be cleaned from tools and equipment using water
while still wet.
Coverage
• As a guide NovaProof will cover approximately 1L/m2 per coat at 1mm
thick.
Packaging/Shelf Life
• NovaProof comes in a 15lt pail.
• When stored in a cool dry environment and stored above ground level a
pail of NovaProof will have a shelf life of approximately 12 months.
