Epoxy cement-based waterproof tanking plaster
Watstop is used to stop rising damp and water infiltration by creating a damp-proof membrane wherever it is applied. On vulnerable walls above and below ground level, Watstop creates a damp-proof tanking layer to stop water penetration and prevent salt deposits.
WATstop is a three-part epoxy resin which is comprised of an epoxy mortar, catalyst and cement compound. Once mixed, it remains workable for two hours so we recommend you only mix up as much material as you need. Its application precedes the coating with plasters, smoothing compounds, tiles or acrylic resin.
Where to use it
Diasen Watstop tanking plaster can be applied directly to any kind of wet or dry surface both internally and externally to make it waterproof. It is suitable for use in new-builds and refurbishment (retrofit) projects where the infiltration of rising damp or moisture from walls that are in contact with the ground needs to be controlled.
