Flowcem DPM (2 – 4 mm)

PRODUCT DATA SHEET

Description
A 3 component technically advanced epoxy cement self smoothing composite as a surface damp proof underlayment.

Uses
Allows immediate installation of moisture sensitive floor finishes (such as epoxy systems, vinyl or wood) onto concrete and cementitious screeds which have a moisture content of up to 99% Relative Humidity or no underlying damp course membrane. Levelling and patching uneven screeds or concrete. Also suitable as a skimming and patching compound.

Benefits
• Excellent adhesion to concrete & screeds.
• Permeable to water vapour
• Tolerates up to 99% relative humidity in the concrete or screed substrate.
• Reduces undulation on substrate
• Chemically and mechanically compatible with concrete chemistry forming monolithic structure.
• Easy to apply (self smoothing).
• Low odour.
• Excellent resistance to water and oils.
• High mechanical strength

Preparatory work and application in accordance with supplier’s instructions.

The installation should be carried out by a Flowcrete approved applicator.

Installation Service
The installation should be carried out by a Flowcrete approved contractor with a documented quality assurance scheme. Obtain details of our approved applicators by contacting our customer service team.

Substrate Requirements
Concrete or screed substrate should be a minimum of 25N/mm², free from laitance, dust and other contamination. The substrate should be surface dry before the application of Flowseal EPW primer.

System Performance Guide
The table below shows how well the system complies with different characteristics.
A scale of 1 – 5 where 5 is the best value.
5 Excellent, 4 Very Good, 3 Good, 2 Fair, 1 Poor

Environmental considerations
The finished system is assessed as non-hazardous to health and the environment. The long service life and seamless surface reduce the need for repairs, maintenance and cleaning. Environmental and health considerations are controlled during manufacture and application of the products by Flowcrete staff and fully trained and experienced contractors.

Technical Information
The figures that follow are typical properties achieved in laboratory tests at 20°C and at 50% Relative Humidity.

Speed of Cure

Overlaying
Resin floor finishes can be laid directly onto Flowcem DPM. If there is no sand blind applied to the Flowcem DPM, then the resin floor finish should be applied within 24 hours of the application of the Flowcem DPM.

Life Expectancy
Flowcem DPM is in practice a permanent membrane to protect final finishes from moisture related damage for the life of the floor, subject to there being no structural movement nor failure of the concrete slab, no severe thermal cycling nor exposure to temperatures above 50°C.

Important Note
Flowcrete’s products are guaranteed against defective materials and manufacture and are sold subject to its standard Terms and Conditions of Sale, copies of which can be obtained on request.
