BarrierGuard System
BarrierGuard is designed for waterproofing all types of masonry surfaces such as foundation walls, concrete panels, exterior basement walls, retaining walls, and moisture-retaining structures such as cisterns and concrete shrubbery boxes. Mixed with water and Portland cement, and fully reinforced with BarrierGuard Fabric, it forms a hard-wearing, flexible compound. It is also resistant to hydro-static pressure and ideal for subterranean waterproofing.

Application Specifics:

Surface Preparation:
  • Remove any loose or flaking particles, scale, dirt, rust or scale.
  • Masonry surfaces need to be dampened first to prevent moisture loss from slurry.
  • Contact Hydro-Stop, Inc. technical department with questions.
Mixing:
  • BarrierGuard MixingSlurry is prepared by mixing one-part BarrierGuard, one-part water, and three parts Portland Cement.
  • Add 1 gallon BarrierGuard and 1 gallon of water to a clean 5-gallon pail and mix with a slow-speed mechanical mixer for about 1 minute.
  • Slowly add the Portland cement until a totally homogenous and lump-free slurry is produced.
  • Above 80 degrees, it is recommended to add ice to cool down the slurry mix to prevent premature gelling.

Application:

  • Apply BarrierGuard slurry to the dampened area and immediately imbed the BarrierGuard Fabric in the wet slurry.
  • Work out any bubbles or creases with the brush.
  • Fully saturate the Fabric from above with more slurry and allow to dry. Follow with a final coat of BarrierGuard slurry.
  • BarrierGuard Fabric should lap by a minimum of four inches.

Coverage:

One gallon of BarrierGuard will make approximately four gallons of slurry. The slurry will cover approximately 50 square feet of full BarrierGuard System that is reinforced with fabric. Coverage of slurry for damp proofing or priming may vary from 120-200 square feet depending on condition of substrate.

Clean Up:

Thoroughly rinse application equipment with clean water.

Safety & Handling:

BarrierGuard can be used in a safe and environmental friendly manner. It is designed to reduce the output of V.O.C.’s while providing the customer with a high performance water barrier. For specific information regarding safe handling of this material please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
