402 Damp Proof Coating is a two pack epoxy resin based primer/coating, which has been developed to function as a residual construction moisture suppressant, allowing the early installation of moisture sensitive flooring in fast track building programmes. One or two coats may be applied depending on the degree of dampness present in the subfloor.
402 Damp Proof Coating is available in grey, red, and clear colours to allow control of uniform coverage.
402 Damp Proof Coating is also suitable for priming damp, minimally prepared substrates and as a high build coating in its own right.
For application in lower temperatures (5°C - 25°C) or when rapid overcoating/access is required a Winter Grade version of this product is available.

Coverage
- 3m²/kg first coat
- 4m²/kg second coat
Surface Preparation
- Concrete surfaces shall be sound, clean and free from dust laitance and other contaminants
- Suitable mechanical treatments such as vacuum grit blasting is recommended to ensure the removal of contaminants and to provide a ‘key’ for 402 Damp Proof Coating
- Moisture testing of the substrate in accordance with BS8203, shall be carried out on new concrete floors
- A sub floor moisture reading of 97% R.H. can be accommodated by 402 Damp Proof Coating
- If readings exceed this figure, then the floor must be allowed to dry out further
Mixing:
- Pour the contents of the curing agent tin into the base container and thoroughly mix, preferably by mechanical means until a uniform colour and consistency is achieved
Mixing Ratio (Clear):
- By Volume - 1.65 Base : 1 Curing Agent
- By Weight - 100 Base : 56.2 Curing Agent
Mixing Ratio (Colour):
- By Volume - 2.02 Base : 1 Curing Agent
- By Weight - 100 Base : 34.4 Curing Agent
Application
As A Damp Proof Membrane:
Two Coat Application (R.H>92%):
- Apply a first coat of 402 Damp Proof Coating red, by brush, roller or airless spray to the prepared substrate at a nominal rate of 3m²/kg
- Within 24 hours apply a coat of 402 Damp Proof Coating grey at a nominal rate of 4m²/kg
Single Coat Application (R.H<92%)
- Apply a coat of 402 Damp Proof Coating (grey, red, or clear) at a nominal rate of 3m²/kg
As A Primer/Coating:
- As a coating, apply 1 or 2 coats of 402 Damp Proof Coating at a nominal rate of 3m²/kg per coat
- Allow 14 hours @ 20°C prior to applying the second coat
- Apply by brush, roller or airless spray
