{"product_id":"watco-plant-room-coating","title":"Watco Plant Room Coating","description":"\u003cp\u003eWatco 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlexible cement and resin protection for plant room floors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsually one coat at the specified thickness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoller, trowel or squeegee application.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSurface Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemove grease, dust, laitance and contamination and ensure the substrate is sound.

One coat is usually specified.

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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLimitations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct FAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Plant Room Coating for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt creates a flexible waterproof protective layer on suitable interior plant room floors and other specified containment areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does a pack cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 12.5m² per 25kg at 1mm thickness.
