Safety precautions.
No special safety measures are required. It is possible to carry out work without wearing gloves. In case of contact with skin, when in a liquid state "IZOWAX" can be washed off with water, and if dry it can be removed by gasoline or kerosene. Environmentally friendly.

Way of use:

1. Preparation of the surface.
The surface should be dry and free of dust. In order to achieve the best level of adhesion, cement based surfaces can first be coated with the primer. Where necessary shallow holes and hollows on horizontal surfaces can be filled by the paste prepared through the addition of sand to the mastic "IZOWAX" (in a ratio of 1:1), and deep holes can be filled in with cement mortar.

2. Preparation of "IZOWAX" mastic.
Mix thoroughly with a hand mixer (an electric drill). Dilute with water if the mixture becomes too thick.

3. Spreading method and the required quantities for use.
"IZOWAX" mastic can be on poured onto a surface or applied with a brush. 1.5-2kg of mastic is required for every 1m2 when applying two layers with a brush. 8-10 kg of mastic is required for every 1m2 when applying two layers by pouring the mastic onto the surface. In order to level off the poured layers it is recommended to use a palette-knife or float.For joints and the waterproofing of roofs, use glass cloth as a reinforcing layer between the layers of mastic.
The freshly laid waterproofing layer does not require any additional care. Climatic conditions should promote normal drying, i.e. evaporation of water from the mastic. The mastic contains reflective components so is resistant to sunlight.
