Epoxy Tanking - Waterproofing System for Concrete and Masonry - Biokil Crown

Solvent-Free, Two-Part Epoxy Waterproofing System for Concrete and Masonry

Biokil Crown Epoxy Tanking is a high-performance, two-component, solvent-free epoxy coating formulated to provide a durable, chemical- and water-resistant barrier to internal concrete and masonry surfaces. Suitable for tanking basements, retaining walls, inspection pits, and plant rooms, it cures to form a tough, impermeable membrane that resists both moisture ingress and negative hydrostatic pressure. It also serves as a protective coating in areas subject to high humidity or chemical exposure.

Key Features & Benefits

• Water & Vapour Barrier: Provides long-lasting protection against water ingress, damp, and vapour transmission.
• Solvent-Free Formula: Low odour and safe for use in confined or sensitive environments.
• Chemical Resistance: Resistant to a wide range of mild acids, alkalis, and cleaning chemicals.
• Negative & Positive Pressure: Suitable for areas exposed to water pressure from either side of the structure.
• Easy to Apply: Can be applied by roller, brush, or airless spray in two coats.

Application Instructions

1. Surface Preparation: Surfaces must be sound, clean, and free from dust, oil, or contaminants. Slightly damp substrates are acceptable.
2. Mixing: Add Part B (hardener) to Part A (resin) and mix thoroughly with a slow-speed drill and paddle mixer.
3. First Coat: Apply evenly using a brush or roller. Allow to cure for 12–18 hours depending on conditions.
4. Second Coat: Apply perpendicular to the first. Ensure full coverage and membrane thickness.
5. Protection: Avoid water exposure during curing. Can be overlaid with screeds, renders, or tile finishes.

Limitations

• Do not apply at temperatures below +5°C or in damp, unventilated conditions during curing.
• Not suitable for external UV-exposed surfaces unless overcoated with a protective finish.
