Acrimper carbonation coating on exposed concrete
Engineer notes. Not a blog. An Acrimper carbonation coating is a named acrylic. It is not a polyurea and not a ponding roof.
Cite an Acrimper carbonation coating on the acrylic Catalogue 2024 marks for CO2. Acrimper (single-component acrylic waterproofing) is an elastic, weather-resistant acrylic rubber with EN 1504-2 as an anticarbonation coating for concrete. The waterproofing catalogue names protection of concrete from carbonation in Toulouse, France, at 3,200 m². Therefore the specifier writes commercial name and chemical type in the same sentence.
What an Acrimper carbonation coating actually covers
Applications in Catalogue 2024 are sloped roofs and terraces without standing water, chimney joints and cantilevers. Avoid applying the product on surfaces with stagnant water. Impermax Aqua (water-based hybrid aliphatic polyurethane) is the second membrane the catalogue certifies for CO2 permeability. Keep both marks on the names that carry them. Do not move ETA 06/0263 from Impermax (one-component moisture-cured polyurethane, 1K PU) onto this acrylic.
However, carbonation is not ponding. A dead-flat roof that holds water is a different design condition. Also, do not invent kg/m². Consumption stays on the current TDS, then the calculator.
How to specify an Acrimper carbonation coating
First, name exposed concrete and the CO2 exposure. Then name Acrimper (single-component acrylic waterproofing). After that, keep standing water off this card. In addition, size the area on the calculator once the sheet is read.
See Acrimper, Impermax Aqua, concrete carbonation protection and documents. Area is sized on the calculator.
Outbound reference: CEN-CENELEC — EN 1504-2.
A façade photograph is not a tank lining. Keep the Acrimper carbonation coating on the acrylic.
Therefore mix is not a 2K kit on this name. Read the current sheet. First name the concrete. Next name Acrimper. After that open documents.
These notes do not replace the current TDS, SDS or a written specification. For pack sizes, mix ratio and kg/m², read the current sheet, then the calculator.
