DESCRIPTION:
ANQA-Flex is a two-component, elastic, acrylic-modified cementitious coating (cement and acrylic liquid) designed to protect concrete structures from water, steam, chloride ion ingress, and acid and alkali attacks. It is a strong, flexible coating with excellent water resistance. It is a mixture of cement, selected fillers, polymers and special graded additives. The liquid contains binders and modified acrylic additives.

ADVANTAGES:
- High flexibility and thermal expansion properties similar to concrete.
- Good adhesion to porous and non-porous surfaces.
- Good mechanical properties.
- Excellent durability against harsh weather conditions.
- Non-toxic, so suitable for use in drinking water applications.
- Resistant to the diffusion of carbon dioxide ions and chlorides

APPLICATION AREAS:
It is used as a waterproofing and protective coating for the following structures:
- Internal lining of drinking water tanks and other water retention facilities
- Protects exposed concrete structures, such as bridge decks, from carbonation and chloride attacks.
- Inverted roofs, lifting and inspection pits, swimming pools, and sewers.
- Marble and granite backing to prevent moisture penetration.

APPLICATION METHODS:
Application temperature should be between 5 and 45°C. Application procedures may vary slightly depending on site conditions. General recommended guidelines for applying a coating system are as follows:

Surface preparation: The surface must be structurally sound and free of oil, grease, dust and other contaminants that will affect bonding. Any structural cracks and potholes must be repaired with suitable repair mortar from Anqa Surface Treatment Products range. The surface to be treated must be pre-saturated with water before application. However, any standing water must be removed before application.

Mixing procedure: Mix the two components according to pre-determined measurements, requiring only on-site mixing. Do not mix more materials than can be used in the pot. Two-component mixing can be done by mixing 4 parts of powder with 1 part of liquid (by weight). Pour the liquid into a suitable container, then gradually add the powder. Mix the contents using a slow speed mixer until a homogeneous, lump-free and creamy consistency is achieved. Do not add water to dilute the substance.

Application:

It is recommended to apply two layers of not less than 2 mm to the targeted areas and thickly to the joints and areas where water collects. Each layer is applied giving a dry film thickness of 1 mm, and the paint can be applied with a stiff brush or an airless sprayer with a nozzle size of 3-4 mm and a pressure of 6-7 bar. After applying the first coat, while the paint is still wet, include fiberglass mesh in all corners and dividers for added reinforcement. The second coat is applied after the first coat has completely dried (6-8 hours @ 25°C, 50% RH). For general waterproofing and protection from carbonation and alkaline attacks, the paint can be applied with a thickness of 1 mm.

Base layer: The product can be diluted with an appropriate amount of clean water (2 - 3 liters per 20 kg of product) and applied to the surfaces to be insulated as an adhesive, bonding and easy-to-penetrate base layer before applying Final layers: The base layer must be left for a sufficient period of time before starting to implement the following layers.
Final layer: Apply the appropriate amount of paint after the base layer dries. Several layers can be applied as needed.

The coating should be adequately protected in the following situations:
- Areas exposed to mechanical abrasion.
- Areas of abundant flowing water.

Cleaning: Clean all tools with water immediately after use. Once dried, the material can only be removed mechanically.

COVERAGE:
1.8 kg per square meter per layer to implement a dry film with a thickness of 1 mm
