Seamless mineral composition used for sealing cold joints, cracks, and junctions in building structures
Material Description:
The three-layer, elastic, waterproofing membrane is designed for waterproofing floors with ceramic tiles capable of cracking due to temperature and mechanical deformations.
The waterproofing membrane consists of one layer of polymer membrane and two layers of geotextile.
In general, waterproofing membranes are an essential element of building construction to protect buildings and structures from moisture and other liquids.
They provide reliable protection against various types of moisture, reduce the risk of damage to building structures, improve their operational properties, and extend their service life.

Waterproofing Installation Recommendations:
Before installing the waterproofing membrane, it is necessary to prepare the base to ensure the best adhesion quality and prevent membrane damage in the future. For this, the base surface must be strong to ensure the membrane's resistance to any mechanical influences. It is also important for the surface to be clean to avoid uneven distribution of adhesive and any contaminants that could cause weak adhesion. Finally, the surface should be rough to ensure better adhesion between the adhesive and the base.
Cleaning the base before installing the waterproofing membrane can be done using manual equipment. Mechanized tools such as water jet units or vacuum cleaners can also be used. For manual cleaning, brushes with soft bristles or spatulas can be used to remove dirt and dust. If there are oil stains on the base surface, special solvents can be used to remove the contamination.
Water jet units help remove dirt and contaminants using a high-pressure water flow. Vacuum cleaners help remove dust and other small particles that may remain on the surface. Regardless of the cleaning method used, after cleaning, the surface should be rinsed and allowed to dry before installing the waterproofing membrane.
To ensure maximum efficiency of the waterproofing membrane, it is recommended to apply a high-quality acrylic primer to the surface before installation. The primer helps improve adhesion between the adhesive and the base. It is recommended to apply the primer evenly and ensure complete coverage of the base surface. The primer should be allowed to dry completely (usually from 4 to 24 hours depending on weather conditions and the type of primer) before starting the installation of the waterproofing membrane.
The waterproofing membrane should be installed according to the manufacturer's requirements. Typically, the membrane is glued to the base surface using a special mineral-based adhesive by overlapping. This means that the adhesive is applied to the surface of the bottom layer of geotextile, after which the top layer of the membrane is applied to this surface in such a way that it overlaps the bottom layer by 100 mm. Thus, a continuous membrane with reliable sealed joints between the layers is formed.
During installation, it is necessary to follow the technology rules to avoid wrinkles, air bubbles, or disruption of the adhesive joint density. Various tools such as rollers or spatulas can be used for this purpose. After installing the membrane, it should be checked for damage and the tightness of the adhesive joint. If defects are found, they should be corrected before continuing the work.
Finally, the membrane should be protected from possible mechanical damage and direct sunlight, especially during work on the surface. Protective materials such as film or foam can be used for this purpose. Sharp objects or any materials that could damage the waterproofing should also be prevented from penetrating the membrane surface.
By following all these recommendations and adhering to the technology rules, maximum efficiency of the waterproofing membrane can be ensured, and the building can be protected from moisture penetration.
Storage:
The warranty storage period is 18 months at temperatures from -30 to +50°C in a dry place and in the original undamaged packaging without direct exposure to ultraviolet light.
Safety Measures:
During the installation of the waterproofing membrane, the following safety measures should be observed:
"Megatron Suture" is a material used for sealing seams, cracks, and joints in building constructions.
The suture composition includes modified Portland cement, carefully selected quartz filler, and chemical additives.
"Megatron Suture" exhibits high bonding strength with the substrate, high waterproofing, chemical, and corrosion resistance.
It is used for waterproofing static structures made of monolithic concrete and prefabricated reinforced concrete.

Applications:
Application recommendations:
"Megatron Suture" should be applied according to the manufacturer's technological regulations.
Before applying "Megatron Suture," surface preparation is necessary to ensure the best bonding and penetration quality.
Grooving is performed along the entire length of the crack using a hammer, mill, or other mechanical means. The cross-section should be at least 25x25 mm to ensure the necessary strength and water resistance. For sufficiently large grooves, the material is applied in layers of no more than 30 mm.
The material is manually applied to the pre-moistened void of the seam, crack, or groove or using a spatula. Additionally, for closing large cracks to save material, the addition of fine washed gravel (5-10 mm) in an amount of 25-30% by volume is allowed. It is recommended to additionally treat the filled groove with "Megatron Penetrating." It is important to note that with an increase in the cross-section of the groove or crack, the material consumption increases.
The dry mixture should be mixed with water in a ratio of 1 kg of mixture to 200 g of water (or in a ratio of 5:1, where five parts of the dry mixture to one part of water by volume).
The amount of water may depend on the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment. Water is poured into the dry mixture in small portions and manually or mechanically mixed for 1-2 minutes.
The mixture will acquire a consistency of clay. Prepare only as much solution as can be used within 15-30 minutes.
During use, the material should be regularly stirred. Additional water addition is not allowed.
The application work should be carried out at a temperature not lower than +5°C.
Attention! Pressurized leaks should be sealed with Megatron Sealant.
