AIM #3 is a highly effective, liquid-applied, protective, vapor barrier coating that waterproofs and seals building foundations and below grade construction. It is highly resistant to sulfates, soil contaminants, bacterial and other environmental conditions. Designed for permanent flexibility and strength, AIM #3 provides long-lasting waterproof and vapor proof protection.

 

AIM #3 has excellent cold temperature flexibility and may be used in cold storage or cryogenic facilities to maintain an airtight vapor proof seal. AIM #3 may also be used in wood kilns, malting houses, vaults, fish hatcheries and mushroom houses to control the passage of moisture vapor. AIM #3 has also been used successfully to form a barrier against radon and other gases.

 

OUTSTANDING FEATURES:

 

§         Can be used over concrete, masonry, wood, steel, aluminum, copper, rubber and other surfaces

§         Produces a fully adhered, seamless, highly elastic, waterproofing membrane

§         Forms a completely vapor proof barrier

§         Protects substrate against corrosion, environmental attack, and water intrusion

§         May be easily applied without special equipment

§         May be used on vertical, pitched and horizontal surfaces

§         Dries quickly and begins to set immediately after application

§         Highly penetrative, intimately wets out the surface for defect-free finish

§         Maintains excellent thermal stability throughout repeated cycle

§         Instantly recovers from stress over a wide temperature range

§         Easy to use single component formula means no measuring or mixing

§         Rapidly develops superior tensile strength and elongation

§         Warrantied for 10 years

APPLICATION:

 

Caution! READ THIS ENTIRE PRODUCT DATA SHEET BEFORE CONTINUING.     

                                      

Surfaces to be coated must be dry and free of loose debris, dirt, oils, grease or any substance that would interfere with proper bond.  AIM #3 may be applied straight from its container after 2 minutes of low speed mechanical stirring.  Apply the product using brush, roller, or airless spray technique.  If airless spray application is desired, a custom blended AIM #3 version is available to be used with the following equipment: Ratio 30:1 or 40:1 with a ½” or ¾” hose and #35 or larger tip.  A shorter hose will increase output at the tip.                                                     

 

Apply AIM #3 in a smooth, even fashion to achieve a uniform coating thickness in either 1or 2 coats.  Equipment may be cleaned with xylene or toluene before AIM #3 begins to dry.                                                                                              

 

LIMITATIONS:                                                      

Do not apply to wet or frozen surfaces that are saturated with moisture.  Proper surface preparation and priming where indicated are important to product performance.  Shelf life is 12 months when stored indoors in factory sealed containers. This product is combustible.  Keep away from heat, sparks, and flames.  Use only EP rated equipment.

 

PRECAUTIONS:

This product contains solvent.  Avoid contact with skin and eyes.  In case of contact with skin, wash with soap and water for 15 minutes.  In case of contact with eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.  Do not ingest.  In case of ingestion, do NOT induce vomiting and contact a physician.  Avoid inhalation of fumes.  If aerosol mist is inhaled, immediately seek medical attention.  Wear safety mask when applying this product.
