Health and Safety

Preparatory steps: Make sure plumbing line, pipe
fittings, core-cut pipe penetrations, sanitary fitting,
brick work etc are done before proceeding for
waterproofing. Once a waterproofing job is completed,
breaking or damaging the waterproofing layer,
protective screed/ plaster layer generally leads to poor
performance.
Wear safety goggle and hand gloves while handling.
MYCRETE WPA is a non-toxic and non-flammable product.
Storage
Store in the original container with lid closed under normal
warehouse condition. Shelf life is 12 months from date of

manufacture.
