    MasterSeal 540 (Formerly known as Barralastic)

    Flexible, polymer cement waterproofing slurry


    DESCRIPTION
    MasterSeal 540 is a two part, prepacked system,
    consisting of a liquid polymer as Part A and a
    premixed powder as Part B. The two parts on
    mixing yield a brushable, smooth slurry with
    excellent bond to most substrates. The product is
    based on selected synthetic resins and cements.
    MasterSeal 540 is in compliance with Bureau
    Veritas Potability test for used in drinking water
    reservoirs or tanks.
    Surface Spread of Flame test: - BS
    476:Pt.7:71(passes Class 1)

    RECOMMENDED USES
    MasterSeal 540 is designed to be used as an
    effective waterproofing membrane on a variety of
    substrates. Applications include:
    Waterproof coatings to the internal faces of
    water tanks, sumps, reservoirs, planter boxes
    etc., before tiling or other surface finishing;
    Treating terraces, balconies, kitchen & toilet
    floors as a sandwich treatment, to prevent
    water ingress.
    Treating bridge & flyover decks before wearing
    course to protect concrete from rainwater
    ingress.
    FEATURES AND BENEFITS

    Polymer modified - Improved bond strength on a


    variety of substrates.
    Permeable to water vapours - Allows surface to
    breath, preventing buildup of moisture in
    structure, reducing maintenance.
    Flexible - Can withstand moderate movement of
    hairline cracks. Bridges cracks up to 0.3mm in
    width, reducing maintenance.
    Weather resistant - Suitable for use in exposed
    conditions.
    Brushable consistency - Easily applied by brush
    or spray.
    Non-toxic Can be applied onto surfaces in
    contact with drinking water.

    APPLICATION
    Surface Preparation
    Correct substrate preparation is critical for
    optimum performance. Surfaces should be
    structurally sound direct tensile strength of more
    than 1.5MPa via a pull off tester with a load rate of
    100N/s), clean, and free from laitance, loose
    particles, oil and grease, old coatings, curing
    compounds or any other contaminants.
    Remove oil or grease and wax contaminants by
    scrubbing with industrial grade detergent or
    degreasing compounds before mechanical
    preparation. Cement laitance, loose particles, mold
    release agents, curing membranes and other
    contaminants must be removed from the surface by
    shot-blasting, grinding or scarifying followed by
    vacuum cleaning.

    MasterSeal 540 (Formerly known as Barralastic)


    Prior to priming use MasterEmaco repair mortars
    to achieve a smooth and level surface by filling
    holes and irregularities.
    Mixing
    Mechanical mixing is necessary. A slow speed
    (300 rpm), heavy duty electric drill with a wing
    type paddle is recommended. Place approx. 75%
    of Part A of the pack in a clean pail. Keeping the
    mixer running, add the Part B slowly. Mix for at
    least 3 minutes to get a lump-free homogenous
    mix. While continuing to mix, add all of the
    remainder of Part A if applying on a horizontal
    surface, or a part of it if applying on vertical
    surfaces till the required consistency is obtained.
    Allow to stand for 2-3 minutes and remix before
    application.
    Placing
    It is extremely important that the area being
    treated is shaded from direct sun and wind to
    prevent rapid drying of the coating.

    ESTIMATING DATA
    The recommended coverage of MasterSeal 540 is
    1 kg/m per coat to obtain an approximate wet film
    thickness of 0.8 mm ( 0.08mm).
    Actual coverage depends upon the method of
    application, the texture and porosity of the surface.
    Therefore material requirement is approximately 2
    kg/m for a total dry film thickness of 1 mm
    ( 0.1mm) in two coatings.
    Note: use only complete pack.
    PACKAGING
    MasterSeal 540 is available in 18 or 36 kg packs
    5 or 10 kg of Part A in a plastic container
    13 or 26Kg or Part B in a paper bag
    SHELF LIFE
    MasterSeal 540 can be kept for12 months in
    original unopened packing when stored indoors.
    Do not store in direct sunlight and avoid allowing
    the material to freeze which will render the material
    unusable.

    CURING
    MasterSeal 540 must be protected against rapid
    drying due to direct sun exposure, high
    temperatures or wind. Curing by wet burlap,
    polyethylene sheet or a curing compound such
    as MasterKure 181 or 128 is recommended.

    PRECAUTIONS
    For detailed Environmental, Health and Safety
    information, please consult and follow all
    instructions on the product Material Safety Data
    Sheet. Contact your local BASF office for the
    latest version.

    CLEANING
    Clean tools using water and rags before the
    resin system hardens. Hardened material can
    only be removed mechanically.
