INSTRUCTION FOR USE

MIXING

• Prepare the slurry coat by mixing a 25 kg bag of BLOCKOUT CRYSTOR with 8.75 liters of clean water.
• Mix thoroughly with a slow-speed drill equipped with a recommended mixing paddle until a creamy consistency is achieved. Allow the mixture to rest for 15 minutes.
• The mixture should adhere to the brush without dripping. If the mixture thickens, re-stir to reduce consistency. Do not add additional water.

APPLICATION

• Apply BLOCKOUT CRYSTOR slurry coat may be applied with a brush or broom.
• Ensure thorough coverage, working the slurry into openings, rough surfaces, and joints.
• Allow a 24-hour interval for curing before applying the second coat. Finish by making final strokes in one direction.

DRY SHAKE FOR NEWLY POURED CONCRETE

Use BLOCKOUT CRYSTOR directly from the container.

While wearing rubber gloves, distribute the powder evenly by hand over freshly poured concrete at a rate of 1.25 to 1.35 kg/m2 per application before the final troweling works. It is best to distribute the powder at half the recommended rate in one direction, and the other half at a right angle to the first application.

FINISHING

When the last coat has stiffened, float it to the desired texture with a sponge or wood float.

CURING AND PROTECTION

After the BLOCKOUT CRYSTOR has reached the initial setting, keep the applied BLOCKOUT CRYSTOR moist for a minimum of 48 hours to ensure proper curing and achieve optimal strength and durability.

Spray a fine mist of water onto the surface three times a day for 2-3 days. In warmer conditions, more frequent spraying may be necessary.

Protect the freshly applied BLOCKOUT CRYSTOR from extreme weather conditions such as rain or high temperature for at least 48 hours after application.

For water retaining structures, allow 14 days of curing before filling with liquid.

Note: Do not use BLOCKOUT CRYSTOR over a previously coated surface without proper surface preparation.
