HYDROTECH R270
Chemical Solutions - A Chemical Binder for Asbestos Fibre Cement Products

Machine used to apply Hydrotech R270

Hydrotech SA offers a unique, water based, chemical which provides a cost effective solution as a combined waterproofer and primer for - Asbestos Fibre Cement Sheeting.

Hydrotech R270 reacts chemically on contact with cementitious substrates – seals the pores in the substrate thus repelling the ingress of water whilst allowing the substrate to breathe normally.
Tests have shown that, where painting is required, an improved adhesion of acrylic paint is achieved on substrates treated with Hydrotech.

Hydrotech R270 has been assessed by Department of Labour risk assessment consultants and it has been shown that the chemical binders contained in the product will fix the fibres to the sheeting in compliance with the Asbestos Act. (OHS test performed according to MDHS 39/4)

Hydrotech R270 has a low viscosity which allows good penetration to the substrate.

Hydrotech R270 contains a long acting anti-fungal agent which together with the waterproofing properties will inhibit future fungal growth.

Some of the advantages of using Hydrotech are as follows:

 Market History A tried and tested product which has gained an excellent reputation in the market place. Clients include major public companies.
 Asbestos Fibre Retention
R270 process fixes fibres to the substrate.
 Painting The treated surface may be left unpainted. Should painting be required improved paint adhesion may be achieved.
 Waterproofing Certified water-repellent – SA Bureau of Standards. (SABS) *
 Thermal Efficiency Improved thermal efficiency – see test report
 Flammability The product is non flammable
 SA Product A unique, patented product produced under license in South Africa.

*SABS KK17 rain penetration test for cementitious substrates
