WaterTite

Professional Mold & Mildew-Proof

Waterproofing Paint is a low odor, oil-based water-proofing

paint designed to waterproof interior and exterior concrete,

stucco, cement, cinder block and other masonry surfaces. It

is ideal for interior basement walls and for sealing concrete

basement slabs prior to installing flooring. It is not

recommended for foot traffic. It is also ideal for exterior

foundations and retaining walls, above and below grade.

WaterTite Professional Mold & Mildew-Proof Waterproofing

Paint is designed to be used as a two coat system. The first

coat primes and seals the surface. The second (topcoat)

completes the sealing process to ensure protection against

water intrusion and mildew growth on the paint film. It is not

recommended for potable water tanks, cisterns, bird baths or

swimming pools, or as a primer or finish on floors subject to

foot traffic.

PRODUCT APPLICATION

SURFACE PREPARATION

Surfaces must be clean, preferably dry, sound and free of

dirt, greases, soap, and other contaminants. New masonry

must cure for at least 30 days before applying WaterTite

Professional Mold & Mildew-Proof Waterproofing Paint.

Salting or efflorescence (a white powdery deposit often

found on walls) must be removed with WaterTite

Etch and

Cleaner or a similar product. Follow manufacturer’s

directions and safety precautions. Rinse the surface

thoroughly with fresh water.

PRODUCT APPLICATION (cont.)

SURFACE PREPARATION (cont.)

Remove all existing mold and mildew. Use a solution of 1

cup household bleach per gallon of water or use a mildew

cleaner or Jomax

Mold & Mildew Stain Remover. For

commercial buildings, follow appropriate guidelines for mold

removal. If there is a concern about mold and mildew behind

walls, underneath flooring, in ventilation systems or other

unseen areas, contact a professional who specializes in

mold and mildew remediation). Remove mold and mildew on

exterior surfaces with Jomax

House Cleaner and Mildew

Killer.

Previously Painted Surfaces - It can be used over previously

painted, non-glossy surfaces; however its waterproofing

ability is then dependent upon the integrity of the previous

coating. For best results, remove as much of the old coating

as possible by manually scraping the surface, followed by

thorough wire rushing. A belt sander with a 50 grit sanding

belt is also effective. Exterior surfaces should be power

washed or abrasive blasted to remove all loose and scaling

paint and cement.

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you

may release lead dust. LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO

LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS, SUCH AS

BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.

PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE.

Wear a NIOSH-Approved respirator to control lead

exposure. Clean up carefully with a HEPA vacuum and a wet

mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and

your family by contacting the National Lead Information

Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

Patching Water Leaks and Cracks - All holes and cracks,

especially active water leaks, must be patched with

WaterTite Polyurethane Sealant or a similar product. Follow

manufacturer’s directions for dry time, etc.

APPLICATION

Use in a well ventilated area. Extinguish all pilot lights and

other sources of flames or ignition. Remove electrical

equipment from the area.

Mix thoroughly to ensure any settled pigment is re-

dispersed. DO NOT THIN. Stir occasionally during use.
