About Dr Fixit Flexi Pu 270 I is a solvent based polyurethane waterproof
91 000 74051 Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 270(I) A high-performance, solvent-based, one-component, polyurethane waterproofing membrane. It is liquid-applied, cures upon contact with air moisture, and forms a highly flexible, seamless, and elastic protective layer.
Primary Function: To provide a durable, long-lasting, and root-resistant waterproofing barrier for a wide variety of structures, capable of bridging cracks and withstanding significant structural movement.
Key Features & Benefits (from TDS):Highly Elastic & Flexible: Exceptional elongation (400%) to bridge cracks up to 2mm and accommodate movement.Seamless Membrane: Forms a continuous, joint-free layer, eliminating weak points.Excellent Adhesion: Bonds strongly to most substrates (concrete, metal, asbestos, etc.).
Breathable: Allows water vapour to escape from the structure (permeable).
Durable: Resistant to water, frost, chemicals, oils, detergents, and plant roots.Wide Temperature Range: Maintains properties from -40C to +80C.
Root Resistant: Certified as resistant to plant roots (EN 13948), making it ideal for roof gardens.
Q1: How is this product applied?A: It is typically applied in 2 or 3 coats by roller, brush, or airless spray.Surface Prep: Surface must be clean, sound, and absolutely dry (<5% moisture). New concrete must cure for 28 days.Priming: Absorbent surfaces must be primed with Dr. Fixit Primer PU or Dr. Fixit Pidipoxy MIFP.Application: Apply the first coat. Apply the second coat after 12-18 hours (but within 48 hours).Reinforcement: Reinforce critical areas (corners, joints, pipes) with Geotextile Fabric embedded in the wet coating.Q2: What is the coverage area?A: The total consumption is approximately 1.2 1.5 kg per square meter for a 2 or 3-coat system. Actual consumption depends on surface porosity and application method.Q3: How long does it take to cure?A:Tack-free: 5-6 hours (at 20C, 50% RH)Light foot traffic: 24 hoursFinal cure: 7 daysQ4: Does it need a protective layer?A: Yes, protection is mandatory.For terraces: Protect with a 40-50mm concrete screed (M20 grade) laid over a geotextile separation layer.For roof gardens: Follow the screed with finishing layers (brickbat coba, tiles, etc.).Alternatively, it can be finished with Dr. Fixit PUTC (polyurethane top coat) for UV stability and colour.Q5: Can it be applied on wet surfaces?A: No. Absolutely not. The surface must be completely dry (<5% moisture content). The TDS explicitly warns: "Do not wash surface with water." before application.Q6: What is the shelf life?A: 9 months from the date of manufacture when stored in its original, unopened container in a dry, cool place (5C to 30C), protected from moisture and direct sunlight.Q7: Is it safe? What precautions are needed?A: Caution Required. The product contains isocyanates. During application, you must wear:Protective clothingChemical-resistant glovesEye gogglesAvoid contact with skin and eyes. Ensure adequate ventilation. Always refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before use.Q8: How does it handle cracks?A: It has excellent crack-bridging capabilities:It can bridge dynamic cracks up to 2mm wide.Larger cracks and joints must be pre-sealed with Dr. Fixit PU Sealant and reinforced with geotextile fabric before the general membrane application.
Flexible Seamless ProtectionDr. Fixit Flexi PU 270 I provides a seamless, liquid-applied waterproofing solution. Its high elongation allows it to bridge cracks up to 2 mm, delivering maximum protection for structures exposed to movement, extreme weather, or standing water. The membrane forms a continuous barrier, preventing water ingress and extending the life of your roof or terrace.
Application AreasThis polyurethane membrane is designed for diverse applications, including concrete roofs, podiums, terraces, and wet areas. It adheres strongly to multiple substrates, making it suitable for both new construction and refurbishments. Its weather and ponding water resistance make it an ideal choice for India's varied climate conditions.
User-Friendly ProcessDr. Fixit Flexi PU 270 I is easy to apply by brush, roller, or spray, requiring two coats to achieve optimal waterproofing at 1 mm thickness. It becomes tack-free within 4-6 hours at 27C and achieves full cure in 7 days, enabling straightforward progress for construction or renovation schedules.
FAQ's of Dr Fixit Flexi Pu 270 I is a solvent based polyurethane waterproof:
Q: How should Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 270 I be applied for effective waterproofing?
A: Apply Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 270 I using a brush, roller, or spray in two coats to achieve a minimum dry film thickness (DFT) of 1 mm. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Allow 4-6 hours between coats, and ensure complete curing for 7 days at 27C before exposing the surface to water.
Q: What substrates are compatible with Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 270 I?
A: This product is suitable for concrete, screed, masonry, and bricks, making it highly versatile for various construction surfaces. Proper surface preparation is important to ensure strong adhesion and long-term performance.
Q: When can I expect the membrane to be fully cured and ready for use?
A: Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 270 I reaches full cure in 7 days at 27C after the final coat. While it becomes tack-free in 4-6 hours, the complete waterproofing properties develop only after the full curing period.
Q: Where is Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 270 I best used in construction?
A: This waterproofing membrane is extensively used on roofs, terraces, podiums, and wet internal areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. Its resistance to ponded water and ability to bridge cracks make it especially advantageous in areas exposed to heavy rainfall or standing water.
Q: What are the main benefits of using Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 270 I?
A: Key benefits include flexible crack-bridging up to 2 mm, excellent resistance to weathering and ponded water, high tensile strength, a seamless finish, and compatibility with various substrates. These features contribute to enhanced structural durability and long-lasting waterproofing.
Q: How much area can a 20 kg pail of Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 270 I cover?
A: A 20 kg pail covers approximately 13 to 15 square meters when applied in two coats at a 1 mm dry film thickness, depending on the substrate's porosity and surface texture.
Q: Is Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 270 I safe to use in residential settings?
A: Yes, Dr. Fixit Flexi PU 270 I is non-toxic once cured and emits a mild solvent odor during application. Ensure proper ventilation during use and store the product away from ignition sources and sunlight to maintain its integrity.
