Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 278

Introduction

In the world of construction and infrastructure maintenance, waterproofing isn’t just a protective measure—it’s a necessity. Whether you're dealing with rooftops, podiums, terraces, or industrial surfaces, ensuring long-lasting water resistance is critical to the life and durability of any structure. That’s where Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 278 comes in—a solvent-based, single-component polyurethane waterproofing membrane that offers powerful, flexible, and seamless protection.

Features

  1. • Seamless Waterproofing: Once applied, it forms a continuous, elastic membrane without joints or overlaps, ensuring superior water resistance even in the most vulnerable areas.
  2. • Superior Flexibility & Crack-Bridging: The polyurethane composition allows it to stretch and move with the substrate. It bridges hairline cracks, making it ideal for areas prone to thermal movement or structural shifts.
  3. • Resistant to Water, Frost & Chemicals: Flexi PU 278 can withstand standing water, freezing temperatures, and exposure to a variety of industrial chemicals, making it suitable for both residential and industrial settings.
  4. • Easy Application: It can be applied using a roller, brush, or airless spray depending on the surface area and accessibility, making it convenient for small patches as well as large-scale surfaces.
  5. • Long-Lasting Performance: It offers high mechanical strength and excellent adhesion to concrete and other construction materials, resulting in a durable waterproof barrier that lasts for years.

Step-by-Step Application Method

  1. • Surface Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, grease, loose particles, oil, laitance, or contaminants. Ensure the surface is dry, structurally sound, and moisture content is below 5%. Repair cracks or voids with suitable filler.
  2. • Primer Application: Apply a recommended Dr. Fixit polyurethane primer using a brush or roller and allow it to dry completely (6–8 hours) before the main application.
  3. • Product Mixing: Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 278 is a single-component, ready-to-use product. Stir gently with a mechanical stirrer for 2–3 minutes. Do not dilute.
  4. • First Coat Application: Apply evenly using a roller, brush, or airless spray at the recommended thickness ensuring a pinhole-free finish.
  5. • Drying Time: Allow the first coat to cure for 8–12 hours until tack-free before applying the next coat.
  6. • Second Coat Application: Apply perpendicular to the first coat to ensure complete coverage and uniform thickness.
  7. • Final Curing & Protection: Allow curing for 24–48 hours before foot traffic or overlaying with screed or tiles. Apply UV-resistant topcoat for exposed areas if required.

Health & Safety

  1. • Always wear protective gloves, goggles, long-sleeved clothing, and respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate.
  2. • Ensure proper ventilation in enclosed areas using exhaust fans or air movers.
  3. • In case of eye contact, rinse with clean water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention if required.
  4. • In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Do not use solvents.
  5. • Keep away from open flames as the product is solvent-based and flammable. Store safely away from children.
