Watco Dampguard Advanced
Litres required: 0.00L
Based on 6.66 m² per litre- Lightwork of heavy-duty repairs
- Structural strength solutions
Watco Dampguard Advanced is a water based epoxy coating for damp-proofing suitable interior masonry, concrete walls and floors. It combines a decorative Warm White finish with a hard wearing surface that is easier to scrub clean, making it useful in cellars, inspection pits, laundries and other working areas affected by damp.
The two component formulation is microporous, allowing moisture vapour to escape from the substrate. It is intended for properly prepared internal surfaces and resists short-term contact with a range of common chemicals. The matt to low-sheen appearance depends on the texture and number of coats. Two coats are normally required, with three recommended on very damp or high-suction backgrounds.
- Epoxy damp-proofer for interior walls and floors.
- Breathable, low odour formulation.
- Hard wearing, scrubbable finish.
Surface Preparation
Make the surface as dry as possible, sound and free of contamination and loose material. Remove all existing coatings and weak surface layers where hydrostatic pressure is present. Concrete should normally be at least four weeks old. Remove laitance and grease by suitable methods, rinse away cleaner residues and allow to dry as far as possible. Remove fungal or algal growth and fully rinse any treatment residue.

| Composition | Two part, water based epoxy |
| Finish | Matt to low sheen |

Coverage
Approximately 20m² per 3L per coat (about 6.67m²/L). Allow for at least two coats. Mix fresh material for each coat: a mixed pack cannot be kept for the next day. For example, a 30m² floor needs two packs per coat, so four packs for two coats.
Directions for Use
- Stir and empty the complete resin into the activator container. Mix very thoroughly with a wide bladed tool until evenly coloured.
- Apply two liberal coats with a medium pile roller or brush. Do not use a foam roller or overwork material that has started to cure.
- The coating becomes tack-free in approximately eighteen hours at a constant 15°C. Apply the second coat within twenty-four hours, following the technical guidance.
- Use three coats where surface suction or dampness requires it. Maintain suitable warmth and ventilation throughout the work.
Limitations
The linked technical sheet specifies interior use. Do not steam clean or expose the finish to temperatures above 60°C. Remove food during application and cure. Test strong cleaners first. Breathability matters: carpet may be laid over the coating but should not be bonded down with an impermeable adhesive. A suitable breathable emulsion may be applied after abrasion, subject to compatibility. Protect stored material from freezing.
Product FAQs
Can it be applied to walls and floors?
Yes, on suitable prepared interior concrete, brick and masonry, following the technical sheet.
How many packs do I need for two coats?
Each 3L pack covers about 20m² for one coat. Round up separately for each coat, because mixed material cannot be stored for the next coat.
How long does mixed material last?
Up to one hour at 20°C, with a shorter pot life in warmer conditions. Mix only what can be applied promptly.
Can I glue carpet over it?
The manufacturer allows loose-laid carpet but advises against bonding it down, as the adhesive can prevent moisture vapour escaping.
