AIM #1 is a liquid applied urethane coating that forms a very tough, high performance barrier. It is used as a coating to protect and waterproof concrete gullies, docks and marinas, tile and concrete pipes, chemical safety dikes and wash-out basins. AIM #1 cures to a rubber-like finish that possesses excellent elasticity and will resist attack from the environment and from exposure to a wide variety of industrial chemicals.
- Forms a continuous membrane that resists penetration of a wide variety of chemicals
- Rapidly develops a high tensile strength and good elongation properties
- May be used on vertical, pitched, and horizontal surfaces
- Allows for movement of the substrate while maintaining excellent toughness
- Performs equally well as a coating, buried membrane, or below grade waterproofer
- Cures quickly; easy to apply
- Provides a waterproof basecoat on concrete parking structures.
- Forms a tough, buried waterproof membrane beneath pavers, etc in plazas, balconies and outdoor recreation areas.
- Waterproofing below tank bottoms and fixed equipment
- Waterproofs basements, crawl spaces, tunnels, junction boxes and shower pans.
Caution! Read this entire data sheet before continuing.
All surfaces to be treated must be clean, dry and free of all loose debris, oil, grease, and any other substance that would interfere with proper bond. A careful inspection of the surface should be made to detect any signs of damage or defects, and all repairs should be completed before application may proceed. Once preparation is completed, AIM #1 may be applied straight from the container after 3 minutes of low speed mechanical stirring. AIM #1 may be applied using a brush, roller, or airless spray technique at a wet film thickness of 30 mils. Andek recommends, in areas where reinforcement fabric is required, that Roofab (a specialty polyester fabric) be used. The fabric should be encapsulated between 2 coats of AIM #1 at a rate of 3-4 gallons per 100 square feet overall.
Equipment may be cleaned after use with xylene or toluene before AIM #1 begins to dry.
Repair any damaged areas by following the instructions in the application section of this data sheet.
Protect AIM #1 from direct sunlight. This product is a moisture curing urethane and is packaged in specially sealed air-tight containers. If damaged, air and moisture may enter the container and cause premature curing. Cure time is 24 hours at 70°F (70% R.H.)
