SN-PROTECT 2K
Premium acrylic-cementitious, polymer-modified elastomeric waterproofing & protective coating for concrete and masonry.
SN-PROTECT 2K — Full Technical Details
Description What it is⌄
SN-PROTECT 2K is a premium acrylic-cementitious, polymer-modified elastomeric waterproofing and protective coating. Formulated with high-quality Portland cement, carefully graded aggregates, performance additives, and an advanced acrylic emulsion polymer binder, it delivers durable waterproofing and long-term protection for concrete and masonry substrates.
Compliance Standards⌄
- Compliance for use in drinking water reservoirs/tanks (potability test reference as stated in the data sheet).
- Surface Spread of Flame test: BS 476: Pt. 7:71 (Class 1).
- CFTRI certified as a “potable water safe” coating for waterproofing for water tanks.
Fields of Application Where to use⌄
Designed as an effective waterproofing membrane on a variety of substrates. Applications include:
- Internal waterproofing of water tanks, sumps, reservoirs, planter boxes prior to tiling/final finishes.
- Sandwich waterproofing systems for terraces, balconies, kitchens, toilets to prevent water ingress.
- Protective treatment of bridge and flyover decks beneath the wearing course to safeguard concrete from rainwater penetration.
Features & Benefits Performance⌄
- Elastomeric: flexible coating accommodates cracks up to 2 mm with elasticity 40–50%.
- Low water permeability: excellent resistance to ingress of water.
- Adhesion: excellent adhesion to concrete and masonry surfaces.
- Eco-friendly: non-toxic with low VOC content.
- Potable-water safe: certified for waterproofing water tanks.

Surface Preparation Critical step⌄
Correct substrate preparation is critical for optimum performance.
- Surface must be structurally sound, clean, and free from loose particles, oil, grease, or contaminants.
- Remove cement laitance, mold release agents, curing membranes, etc. by wet grit blasting or high-pressure water jetting (~150 bar), or other effective methods.
- Fill irregularities (blowholes, honeycombs) using suitable repair mortars to achieve a smooth, level surface.
- Saturate the prepared substrate with clean water before applying SN-PROTECT 2K.
Mixing Mechanical mixing⌄
Mechanical mixing is necessary. Use a slow speed (~600 rpm) heavy-duty drill with a wing-type paddle.
- Place approximately 75% of Part A into a clean pail.
- Keeping the mixer running, add Part B slowly.
- Mix for at least 3 minutes to obtain a lump-free homogeneous mix.
- While continuing to mix, add the remaining Part A (for horizontal surfaces), or only part of it (for vertical surfaces) until required consistency is achieved.
Placing Site control⌄
- Protect the application area from direct sunlight and strong airflow.
- Ensure controlled curing and prevent premature drying of the coating.
Curing Prevent rapid drying⌄
Slow drying ensures homogeneous curing and high waterproofing characteristics.
- Protect SN-PROTECT 2K against rapid drying due to high temperatures or wind.
- Curing by wet burlap, polyethylene sheet, or a curing compound (e.g., MASTERKURE 181) is recommended.
