DAMPFIX® 1K FAQ

Can I use a roller to apply?​

Dampfix® 1K can be applied by brush, roller, trowel, or spray equipment. The mixing ratio can be adjusted in order to obtain the consistency and workability desired for the intended application.​​

Do we have a bond breaker tape for junctions, joints, and corners compatible with Dampfix® 1K?​

Dampfix® Instant Seal is a self-adhesive waterproofing tape compatible with our Dampfix® range. This 100mm wide tape can be used as a bond breaker in joint, junctions and corners.​

Do I need to prime when using Dampfix® 1K​?

Dampfix® 1K can be applied to dampen porous substrates (no free water); priming is not required if the substrate is in sound condition. We recommend the use of a primer to avoid pinholes and other issues.

This waterproofing membrane system is specifically formulated for application on graded substrates that provide positive falls to drainage outlets. Overlaying tiling systems must comply with Guide to the Installation of Ceramic Tiles (AS 3958.1). Always check the TDS before application.
