FAQ – WHITE SAND FLEXOProof

1. What is WHITE SAND FLEXOProof?

WHITE SAND FLEXOProof is a single-component, polymer-modified cementitious waterproof coating designed to protect concrete, mortar, and masonry surfaces from water penetration and moisture. It is mixed with clean water before application and forms a durable waterproof barrier. 

2. What is WHITE SAND FLEXOProof used for?

It is used for waterproofing water tanks, swimming pools, bathrooms, roofs, foundations, canals, culverts, boundary walls, concrete structures, and wet areas beneath ceramic tiles. 

3. Can WHITE SAND FLEXOProof be used for potable water tanks?

Yes. WHITE SAND FLEXOProof is non-toxic and solvent-free, making it suitable for waterproofing potable water tanks. 

4. Is WHITE SAND FLEXOProof suitable for swimming pools?

Yes. It is specifically designed for waterproofing swimming pools and other permanently wet or submerged structures. 

5. Can WHITE SAND FLEXOProof be applied under tiles?

Yes. It provides an effective waterproof membrane beneath ceramic, porcelain, and stone tiles in bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, terraces, and other wet areas. 

6. What surfaces can WHITE SAND FLEXOProof be applied to?

It can be applied to concrete, cement mortar, masonry, blockwork, rendered surfaces, and similar cementitious substrates. 

7. Is WHITE SAND FLEXOProof flexible?

Yes. Its polymer-modified formulation allows it to accommodate minor substrate movement and bridge small cracks, helping maintain waterproof protection. 

8. Does WHITE SAND FLEXOProof resist chloride ions and carbon dioxide?

Yes. It provides an excellent barrier against chloride ions, carbon dioxide, sulphates, and water, helping protect reinforced concrete from corrosion. 

9. Can water vapor pass through WHITE SAND FLEXOProof?

Yes. It allows water vapor to escape while preventing liquid water from penetrating the substrate, reducing the risk of trapped moisture. 

10. Is WHITE SAND FLEXOProof UV resistant?

Yes. It offers good resistance to weathering and ultraviolet (UV) exposure, making it suitable for exterior applications. 

11. What color is WHITE SAND FLEXOProof?

WHITE SAND FLEXOProof is supplied in grey. 

12. How much water is required for mixing?

A 20 kg bag should be mixed with approximately 7 kg of clean water. A small additional amount of water may be added if needed to achieve the desired consistency. 

13. How should WHITE SAND FLEXOProof be mixed?

Use a slow-speed electric mixer with a mixing paddle for at least two minutes until a smooth, lump-free consistency is achieved. Allow the mix to stand for five minutes before application. 

14. How is WHITE SAND FLEXOProof applied?

It can be applied using a brush, roller, trowel, or suitable spray equipment, depending on the project requirements. 

15. How many coats are recommended?

Two coats are recommended for maximum waterproofing performance. Each coat should be approximately 1 mm thick. 

16. How long is the pot life after mixing?

The mixed material has a pot life of approximately 60 minutes under normal conditions. 

17. What is the bond strength of WHITE SAND FLEXOProof?

It provides a bond strength of at least 2.0 MPa, ensuring excellent adhesion to properly prepared cementitious surfaces. 

18. What is the recommended application temperature?

The minimum recommended application temperature is +5°C. 

19. What coverage does a 20 kg bag provide?

Approximate coverage for two coats at 1 mm thickness per coat is:

  • Spray application: up to 17 m²
  • Brush application: up to 15 m²
  • Trowel application: up to 12 m²

Actual coverage depends on substrate condition and application method. 

20. How should the surface be prepared before application?

Surfaces should be clean, sound, and free from dust, laitance, oil, grease, loose particles, moss, algae, or other contaminants. The substrate should be pre-wetted before application. 

21. How long should WHITE SAND FLEXOProof be cured?

For applications exposed to continuous water immersion, the coating should be cured for seven days before service. 

22. How should tools be cleaned after application?

Clean all tools and equipment immediately with clean water before the material hardens. Hardened material must be removed mechanically. 

23. What packaging is available?

WHITE SAND FLEXOProof is supplied in 20 kg bags. 

24. What is the shelf life?

The product has a shelf life of 12 months when stored in its original unopened packaging in a dry, shaded environment below 35°C. 

25. Is WHITE SAND FLEXOProof hazardous?

No. It is non-flammable and is not classified as hazardous under current regulations. However, protective gloves and goggles should always be worn during handling and application. 

26. What are the main advantages of WHITE SAND FLEXOProof?

Key benefits include:

  • Excellent waterproofing performance
  • High bond strength
  • Flexible crack-bridging capability
  • Suitable for potable water tanks
  • UV and weather resistance
  • Protection against chloride ions, sulphates, and carbon dioxide
  • Good abrasion resistance
  • Breathable to water vapor
  • Cost-effective waterproofing solution
  • Suitable for interior and exterior applications 
27. Why choose WHITE SAND FLEXOProof for waterproofing projects?

WHITE SAND FLEXOProof combines flexibility, durability, strong adhesion, weather resistance, and long-lasting waterproof protection, making it an excellent solution for residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure waterproofing applications.
