Watco Plant Room Coating

- Structural strength solutions
Watco Plant Room Coating is a flexible, high build waterproof coating for suitable interior plant room floors. The cement and resin system helps create a seamless protective layer where leaks and spillages could otherwise pass through porous concrete or minor surface defects.
It is useful around building-services equipment and in working areas where containing water is part of the floor specification. The coating is normally applied at about 1mm thickness, giving a matt finish that can be textured with a roller. Grey and Off White options allow the appearance to suit the surrounding room. Correct detailing, sound preparation and full curing remain essential where permanent water pressure or a complete containment system is required.
- Flexible cement and resin protection for plant room floors.
- Usually one coat at the specified thickness.
- Roller, trowel or squeegee application.
Surface Preparation
Remove grease, dust, laitance and contamination and ensure the substrate is sound. Dampen with clean, cold water before application, leaving no standing water. Both air and floor must be at least 5°C. Assess cracks, joints and penetrations and repair or detail them as required for the intended waterproofing system.
Technical Data
| Pack size / colours | 25kg / Grey or Off White |
|---|---|
| Composition | Liquid resin plus selected cement and silica powder |
| Finish | Matt, lightly textured |
| Use | Interior |
| Pot life | 1.5 hours at 20°C; shorter in warm conditions |
| Shelf life | 12 months unopened |
Coverage
Approximately 12.5m² per 25kg at 1mm thickness (0.5m²/kg). One coat is usually specified. Extra coats or greater system thickness increase material consumption and should be allowed for separately.
Directions for Use
- Pour approximately three quarters of the supplied liquid into a suitable bucket and add the powder.
- Mix with a slow-speed drill and paddle for about three minutes until smooth and lump-free. Add the remaining liquid and mix thoroughly.
- Apply at about 1mm using a roller, trowel or squeegee. A medium pile roller gives more texture; a suitable short pile roller or brush gives a smoother finish.
- At 15–20°C allow approximately sixteen hours before light traffic. Full chemical cure and resistance to permanent water pressure take seven days. Where another coat is needed, the usual interval is twelve to twenty-four hours once the first has cured.
Limitations
Do not confuse initial drying with full water resistance. The required system thickness depends on the project and water pressure; use a confirmed specification for pressure-retaining work. Pot life is about two hours at 10°C and thirty minutes at 30°C. Clean tools immediately with water, remove food from the work area during application and cure, and protect stored components from frost.
