High-Performance Elastomeric Waterproof Coating
Engineered for uncompromising waterproofing and concrete protection, 588 Sealant is a two-component elastomeric cementitious mortar designed to deliver durable, flexible performance in the most demanding environments. This premium blend of portland cements, selected silica sands, and acrylic polymer emulsion cures to form a robust, crack-bridging membrane that safeguards structures against water intrusion, carbonation, and chemical wear-making it the top choice for professionals and contractors alike.
Core Advantages That Set It Apart
•Superior Flexibility & Crack Bridging: Retains elasticity even when submerged, accommodating static cracks up to 1.5mm and dynamic cracks over 1mm after 20,000 cycles. A 2mm cured membrane handles movement up to 0.6mm, preventing leaks from structural shifts.
•All-Weather Durability: Resistant to freeze-thaw cycles, hot tropical climates, and UV exposure without degradation. Acts as a reliable CO₂ barrier and water vapor permeable layer, balancing breathability with impermeability (7 bar water resistance per DIN 1048).
•Broad Chemical Resistance: Withstands soft water, domestic wastewater, manure, and other moderately aggressive liquids, protecting mineral substrates from long-term corrosion.
•Easy Application & Cleanup: Applies smoothly with brush, roller, or spray equipment on damp substrates-no need for fully dry surfaces. Cleans up instantly with water before curing; no harsh solvents required.
•Environmentally Friendly: Solvent-free formulation ensures safe handling and is approved for contact with potable water, making it suitable for residential and commercial projects prioritizing sustainability.
Versatile Applications Across Projects
588 Sealant excels in both interior and exterior waterproofing, adapting to diverse structural needs:
•Water-retaining structures (swimming pools, tanks) and wet areas (bathrooms, balconies) with tile installations directly over the membrane.
•Terrace, rooftop, and concrete protection against deicing salts, carbonation, and water damage.
•Construction joints and cracks requiring reinforcement with polypropylene or alkali-resistant glass-fibre mesh (consult technical team for mesh selection).
•Internal and external surfaces subject to positive or negative water pressure, ideal for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and residential properties.

Application Guidelines
For optimal results, ensure surfaces are clean, sound, and free of formwork residues, release agents, laitance, and organic contaminants. Use ultra-high-pressure water jetting, grit blasting, or grinding for surface preparation (avoid aggressive percussive methods). Apply in minimum two layers (1mm each) with reinforcing mesh over joints and cracks. Cure in dry-air conditions with adequate ventilation-avoid dehumidifiers. Allow 24 hours for touch-dry and full curing per project conditions.
Consult our technical team for customized application advice and mesh selection to enhance tensile properties for specific project needs.
From residential swimming pools to commercial industrial facilities, 588 Sealant delivers long-lasting, cost-effective waterproofing that stands the test of time and environment. Invest in a sealant that protects your structures today and for years to come.
