Description
CLASSIFICATION
Meets the requirements of: • AS 4858:2004 wet area membranes as a Class III
• AS 3740: 2004 waterproofing of wet areas within residential buildings
• AS 4654.1-2012 waterproofing membrane for external above ground use.
SURFACE PREPARATION
The surface must be clean , dry and free of dust oil, grease, wax and curing compounds. The substrate must be installed according to the
relevant standards and manufacturer recommendations. All porous surfaces must be primed with Master primer. For non porous
substrates such as external cement sheeting e.g. Scyon it must be primed with Tradies Choice Moisture Barrier. As a wet area membrane
requires a suitable bond breaker at all substrate junctions please use Tradies Choice FC Polyurethane sausage.
MOVEMENT JOINTS
Movement joints must be in accordance with Australian Standards AS 3958
DRYING TIME
Tradies Choice FCM is not designed for use as an exposed membrane.
Recoat 2 hour @ 23°C
Tiling – Toppings 24 -48 hours @ 23° C
Information based normal ambient temperatures of 23°C and 50% RH
*Temperature , humidity and porosity will vary dry times
COVERAGE
A minimum of 2 coats is recommended to be applied at a total minimum coverage of 1.5 Litres / m2 . 1mm dry film thickness is
recommended for all applications wall and floor.
PACKAGING
15KG Buckets
APPLICATION
• Waterproofing should be applied in accordance with the Australian Standards AS 4858 : 2004
• All porous surfaces must be primed with Master primer. For non porous substrates such as external cement sheeting e.g. Scyon it
must be primed with Tradies Choice Moisture Barrier. As a wet area membrane requires a suitable bond breaker at all substrate
junctions please use Tradies Choice FC Polyurethane sausage.
• For all other applications not mentioned please contact the SAS Technical team.
• Note: Protect waterproofing from other trades and weather until cured.
• A minimum of 2 coats is recommended to be applied at a total minimum coverage of 1.5 Litres /m2.
• Tradies Choice FCM must be applied to achieve a minimum of 1mm Dry film thickness ensuring the membrane is to perform as
specified.
PRECAUTIONS
• Tradies Choice FCM cannot be applied in temperatures above 35°C or below 5 °C
• Tradies Choice FCM cannot be used in immersed situations like swimming pools spas etc.
• Tradies Choice FCM cannot be used for hydrostatic pressure e.g. rising damp contact the SAS Technical Team for further
information.
