It is a fibre-reinforced elastomeric liquid waterproofing membrane that protects surfaces from water seepage. It offers high crack-bridging ability, abrasion resistance, and strong adhesion to masonry substrates.

The product offers waterproofing up to 7 bars of hydrostatic pressure, crack-bridging capability of up to 2.5 mm, high elongation of 220%, and tensile strength of 2.82 N/mm². It also provides heat reflectivity, reducing surface temperature by up to 10°C, and anti-carbonation properties to protect re-bars from corrosion.

It suits terraces, roofs, parapets, sunshades, and exterior vertical walls. It can also be applied to cementitious waterproofing or Indian Patent Stone (IPS) surfaces.

The process involves cleaning the surface, applying a primer if needed, and then applying two coats of SmartCare Damp Proof using a brush or roller. Allow sufficient drying time between coats (6-8 hours).

For horizontal surfaces, it covers approximately 10 sq. ft./litre per coat, while for vertical walls, it covers 20-25 sq. ft./litre per coat.

Ensure proper surface preparation by repairing hollow areas and cleaning dust or grease. Avoid application during rains or extreme temperatures and ensure forced coverage for long-term performance.

The product has a shelf life of 36 months if stored properly in a sealed container, away from frost and humidity.
