Consumption rates Approx. 0.5 kg/m
2 over smooth and aggregated areas
Technical data Density: 1.04 to 1.20 g/cm³
Product Application Application equipment / tools For mixing the product:
• Rubber blade, hard (for applying finish to topped surfaces)
Substrate preparation Polimar FCS Sealer Coat can be applied to hardened primer, waterproofing or to the self-levelling mortar, depending on the specification. Polimar FCS Sealer Coat must be used as a topcoat on Polimar FCS Wear Course.
Mixing First stir the tub contents thoroughly. Then add Polimar FCS Catalyst (2 bags) while stirring the resin at the slow-speed setting and mix for 2 minutes. Make sure that the product on the base and sides of the container is mixed in. At product temperatures < 10 °C the product should be stirred for 4 minutes, as the catalyst will take longer to dissolve.
Application Use the finish roller to apply an even layer of the mixed material (approx. 0.5 kg/m2). Avoid fluctuating layer thicknesses. Finish Design Options Finish design using Polimar FCS Deco Chips (suitable for low ultilised areas such as balconies – where enhanced slip resistance is required use aggregated wear or surfacing layers depending on specification) Use a hopper gun to apply Polimar FCS Deco Chips to the freshly applied finish while it is still wet. A maximum of 50 g/m2 can be applied, depending on the look you want to achieve. There should not be any excess chips (surface completely covered with chips) at any point.
Cleaning
If work is interrupted or when it is completed, clean the tools thoroughly with Polimar Acetone Cleaner within the pot life of the material (approx. 10 minutes). This can be done with a brush. Do not use the tools again until the
Acetone Cleaner has evaporated fully. Simply immersing the tools in the Acetone Cleaner will not prevent the material from hardening.

Polimar FCS Waterproofing & Detailing are high-grade, PMMA-based waterproofing resins with low-temperature flexibility and are used to provide durable reinforced waterproofing in areas such as roofing, balconies, walkways and car parks as part of the Polimar FCS Systems. Liquid application allows seamless waterproofing systems to be applied to large areas, and even the most complex roof penetrations and details to be securely incorporated.
Features and Benefits
• Highly flexible and crack-bridging even at extreme sub-zero temperatures
• Permanently weather-resistant (UV-, hydrolysis- and alkali-resistant)
• Fully bonded to the substrate, therefore no flow paths for water under the membrane
• Easy and fast application
• The most complex roof penetrations can be securely incorporated in the seamless waterproofing system
• Fast-curing
• Can also be applied at sub-zero temperatures
• Can be applied to almost all substrates, including variable substrates (when combined with Polimar FCS Primers)
• Solvent-free
• Test certificates and technical approvals (ETA, AbP) for the areas of roof waterproofing and the waterproofing of joints on water-impermeable concrete units
Areas of Application Polimar FCS Waterproofing is applied together with Polimar FCS Fleece reinforcement for waterproofing large areas and details on roofs, balconies, walkways and car parks. For utilised areas such as balconies, walkways and car parks Polimar FCS Waterproofing is applied in conjunction with Polimar FCS wearing and surfacing layers depending on the application and specification for each particular project. Polimar FCS Detailing is a variant of Polimar FCS Waterproofing that is more viscous / thixotropic to reduce run-off when applied to sloping and vertical surfaces. It is therefore used primarily for the waterproofing of details.

Curing time approx. 3 hours
Higher temperatures or greater proportions of catalyst will reduce reaction times, while lower temperatures and smaller proportions of catalyst will increase reaction times.
Technical data Density: 1.22 g/cm³ Water vapour diffusion resistance factor: 8150 [-]
Product Application Application equipment / tools For mixing the product:
• Twin-paddle stirrer
For applying the product:
• Sheepskin roller
• Brush (only for areas not accessible with the sheepskin roller)
Substrate to be coated Apply the waterproofing resin to the cured Polimar FCS Primer or suitably prepared substrate.
Mixing First stir the tub contents thoroughly. Then add Polimar FCS Catalyst (2 bags) while stirring the resin at the slow-speed setting and mix for 2 minutes. Make sure that the product on the base and sides of the container is mixed in.
At product temperatures < 10 °C the product should be stirred for 5 minutes, as the catalyst will take longer to dissolve.
Application Use Polimar FCS Waterproofing for waterproofing horizontal areas, Polimar FCS Detailing is used for vertical surfaces (e.g. upstands on details). Apply a generous and even layer of the mixed material to the entire area (at least 1.5 kg/m
2), then
immediately embed Polimar FCS Fleece, using the roller to smooth out and remove any trapped air bubbles and creases. Immediately apply further material (wet on wet) on top of the fleece up to the required coverage rate. Fleece overlaps must be a minimum of 50mm.
Preparation for subsequent layers such as bonded tiles or loose-laid surfacing a) Fully bonded surfacing (e.g. tiles)
Once the waterproofing has cured, apply an additional covering layer of Polimar FCS Waterproofing (approx. 1.5 kg/m2) and top with a generous amount of sand while still wet (quartz sand 0.7 – 1.2 mm). Vacuum off the excess/loose sand after the surface has hardened. The topping gives the surface the necessary roughness that allows the subsequent surfacing supplied by others to be bonded onto the base. Never apply the topping to the waterproofing layer. Only use dry quartz sand.
b) Loose-laid surfacing (e.g. stone slabs) Once the waterproofing has cured, apply an additional covering layer of Polimar FCS Waterproofing (approx. 1.5 kg/m2). This protects the waterproofing layer against the mechanical loads of the surfacing supplied by others.
Cleaning
If work is interrupted or when it is completed, clean the tools thoroughly with Polimar Acetone Cleaner within the pot life of the material (approx. 10 minutes). This can be done with a brush. Do not use the tools again until the Acetone Cleaner has evaporated fully. Simply immersing the tools in the Acetone Cleaner will not prevent the material from hardening.

Application equipment / tools For mixing the product:
• Stirrer with spiral mixer head
For applying the product:
• Smoothing trowel
Substrate preparation The mortar is applied to the hardened Polimar FCS Primer.
Mixing Shake the resin component and add all of it to the sand mixture. Then stir fully for 3 minutes using a compulsory mixer (spiral mixer head). There must be no lumps or nodules and all the material on the base and walls of the container must be incorporated. To ensure that this is done, it is helpful to repot the material once during the mixing process. N.B. Catalyst does not need to be added. The catalyst is already included in the aggregate component.
Application Pour the mortar onto the primed surface, compress and finish immediately with a smoothing trowel. The mortar can be applied in layer thicknesses of up to 50 mm in a single operation. Please note: Make sure that the mortar is worked well into the corners (compressed). Preparation for subsequent layers
None required
Cleaning
If work is interrupted or when it is completed, clean the tools thoroughly with Polimar Acetone Cleaner within the pot life of the material (approx. 10 minutes). This can be done with a brush. Do not use the tools again until the Acetone Cleaner has evaporated fully. Simply immersing the tools in the Acetone Cleaner will not prevent the material from hardening.
Description Polimar FCS Catalyst is an essential component of PMMA-based Polimar products. It both starts and adjusts the curing reaction. The speed of the reaction is adjusted to the ambient conditions by modifying the amount of catalyst added.
Material Oxygen-rich, powdered peroxide-based compound
Features and Benefits • Easily soluble • Highly effective
Areas of Application Polimar FCS Catalyst is mixed with Polimar PMMA products to enable the curing process to take place. It both initiates and controls the speed of the curing reaction. The reaction speed can be influenced by adjusting the amount added, and this method is used to adapt the reaction to the ambient conditions (temperatures).
Packaging 0.10 kg in plastic bag
Colours Polimar FCS Catalyst is a white powder.
Storage The catalyst must only be stored in closed containers and in dry areas, away from heat and ignition sources, and at temperatures below +30 °C. In the original packaging it has a minimum shelf life of 6 months. The influence of heat can cause the powder clump together and can reduce its effectiveness. The powder can self-ignite if it is heated to a higher temperature, e.g. by direct sunlight. Consequently direct sunlight should also be avoided on site.
Required amounts of catalyst The amount of catalyst required is dependent on the product used, the quantity of product and the temperature conditions. For further details about the recommended quantities of catalyst please refer to the product information sheets for Polimar PMMA-based products.
Technical data Density: 1.23 g/cm³ Apparent density: 0.65 g/cm³
Product Application
Application equipment / tools For mixing the product:
• Twin-paddle stirrer
Mixing Add the catalyst to the PMMA-based product while stirring, as the stirring action causes the catalyst to dissolve and ensures an even distribution. For exact details please refer to the product information sheets of the PMMA-based products.

Description Polimar FCS Deco Chips are toppings specifically designed for Polimar FCS products. They offer design options for the finished surface, while also optimising its non-slip property.
Material Acrylate-based topping
Features and Benefits
• Receiver-compatible topping chips • Can be used as a single colour or multiple colours
Areas of Application Polimar FCS Deco Chips are applied to the sealing layer to enhance the appearance of the finish and enhance the slip-resistant properties of the surface. A slip-resistance level of up to R 10 can be achieved.
Packaging 1.00kg in tub
Colours Black, white & grey
Storage Store the chips in a cool and dry area.
Consumption Up to 50 g/m2 depending on the desired appearance
Product Application Application equipment / tools
• Hopper spray gun
Application Use the hopper spray gun to apply Polimar FCS Deco Chips to the sealer while the coating is still wet. Depending on the required design of the surface, the coloured chips can first be mixed and a greater or lesser amount applied. However, applying an excess quantity should be avoided, i.e.in their final position the chips applied should not form a continuous coating at any point.

Polimar FCS Wear Course is a flexibilised self-levelling mortar for utilised areas, such as roof terraces, balconies and multi-storey car parks. Description In Polimar FCS waterproofing systems it serves as protection for the waterproofing layer. When used in surfacing systems it is applied as a thickfilm coating.
Material 3-component, fast-reactive, flexibilised and filled PMMA-based (polymethyl methacrylate) self-levelling mortar.
Features and Benefits
• Versatile product – can be used as waterproofing protection, thick-film layer and equalising layer
• Product for areas exposed to mechanical loads (pedestrians, vehicles)
• Cost-efficient solution for surfacing floor areas without cracks or with only hairline cracks
• Fully bonded to the substrate, therefore no flow paths for water
• Easy and fast application
• Fast-curing
• Can also be applied at sub-zero temperatures
• Can be applied to almost all substrates, including variable substrates (when combined with WestWood Primers)
• Solvent-free
Areas of Application Polimar FCS Wear Course is part of the Polimar FCS system and is used as a protective layer, thick-film coating or equalising mortar. As part of the Polimar FCS waterproofing systems it protects the waterproofing layer against the impact of traffic on account of its load-distributing effect (protective layer). In the case of areas subject to mechanical loads and that are either free from cracks or have only hairline cracks, it is used as a thick-film coating without the waterproofing layer. Furthermore it is used as an equalising mortar under Polimar FCS waterproofing systems to level out areas of damage and up to 10mm height differences.
Colours Polimar FCS Levelling Mortar is asphalt black.
