Description
AIM #3 is a premium quality, single component waterproofing coating that is especially designed to waterproof building foundations. It is resistant to sulfates, soil contaminants, bacteria, and other environmental conditions. AIM #3 is designed for permanent flexibility and toughness, to bridge and move with hairline cracks, and to resist impingement attack.
Outstanding Features
- Sets quickly and begins to cure immediately after application
- Remains flexible and tough
- Highly penetrative and workable
- Extremely durable and waterproof
- Prevents damage from water, even under ponded conditions
- Possesses a 20-year life expectancy
- Can be applied at any temperature; not affected by sudden rain
Recommended for
- Provides vapor barrier waterproofing for floors and walls in freezers, walk-in coolers and blast refrigerators.
- Impermeability to gas diffusion seals, floors and walls against radon and obnoxious effluvia.
- Protects the walls and doors of malting facilities and mushroom houses from steam infiltration.
- Seals the walls, floors and insulation of wood drying kilns, resists tannins, etc.
Recommended for
Can be used over below pavers, concrete, fiberglass composites, insulation, most metals, mineral composites, wood, wood composites, rubber/plastic composites, and other surfaces.

Preparation and Application
Surface Preparation
Surfaces must be dry, free of dirt, loose debris, oils, grease or any substance that could interfere with adhesion. Do not apply if the substrate or air temperature is predicted to drop below 35°F (2°C) within 4 hours after application. The application surface must remain at least 5°F (3°C) above dew point during the application and curing process.
Application
AIM #3 may be applied straight from the container after 2 minutes of low speed mechanical stirring. Apply the product using brush, roller, or airless spray technique
Spray Application
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 a #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 1 or 2 coats.
Recommended Thickness
20 mils Dry Film Thickness (DFT)
Drying Time
Approximately 3 hours at 70°F (21°C) and 70% RH.
Clean up
Clean tools and equipment with xylene or toluene solvent
Storage
Store in a dry area and protect from direct sunlight and freezing. Keep container tightly sealed. Shelf life is 1 years from date of manufacture when stored in a factory sealed container between 40ºF (5ºC) and 90ºF (32ºC).
Disposal
Waste disposal must be in accordance with existing federal, state and local environmental control laws. Incineration is the preferred method of disposal.
Read the container label warning and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for important health and safety information prior to the use of this product.
