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.

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.
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.
