Ridex Weather Safe is a polymer based single component, U.V. resistant, heat retardant elastomeric film forming water­proofing breathable eco-friendly compound. Usage as : a) Water-proofing system on any masonry surfaces e.g. China mosaic, I.P.S., plaster, R.C.C. slabs, etc. b) Heat retardant & water proofing primer/base coat before painting. c) Protective and waterproofing coating on balcony lops, chhajas, parapet walls, domes or any other masonry structures. d) Protective & waterproofing coating on external sides of air conditioning plants water storage tank. e) Anti corrosive & heat reflective insulation on G.I. / C.I. pipe lines. f) Heat reflecting water proofing system on roofs e.g. R.C.C. slabs, A.C. sheets, corrugated G.I. sheets, timber or plywood, etc. Advantages : 1) Eco friendly breathable water based non-hazardous formulation. 2) Single component, hence easy to use. 3) Increases air conditioner efficiency & reduce power consumption. 4) Fast drying & self priming due to excellent bonding with base surface & upper coat. 5) Resistant to U.V. rays & mild acids. 6) Withstands thermal expansions due to high elasticity. 7) Non cracking between 5 to 160 degree centigrade. 8) Excellent bonding with R.C.C. slabs, plaster, painted surfaces, steel sheet, tiles, wood etc. 9) Fungus & algae resistant. 10) Can be applied by unskilled labour. Application Method : Surface to be coated must be free from oil, grease, dirt, bitumen, paint or rust scales & dirt. Any cracks present on the surface must be filled with suitable sealant like Rideo ACR cement putty. Apply a undiluted coat of Rideo weather safe on cleaned surface with a brush or roller & allow it to dry & set overnight. Repeat a second coat in similar manner on the next day. Normally, third coat will not be required, yet in case of extremely bad surface condition, third coat should be applied on the third day. For additional protection apply a coat of Rideo OR finally. Coverage : Approximately 50 Sq. Ft.s / Kg./ coat on reasonably smooth masonry surfaces. Film thickness : Approximately 700 to S00 microns with 2 coats.

Ridex WR is a water based ready to use transparent waterproof coating having Melamine & Silicon as active ingredient, which works as an excellent water repellent, prevents rain water seepage & dampness from external side of the wall. Due to its water like appearance, this transparent waterproof coating does not interfere with the appearance or the texture or shade of the painted surface, thus the architectural values are also maintained. Even the gloss or matt finish is retained. Field of applications :

• Plastered wall or painted walls (cement or acrylic or tex etc.)
• Naked brick work
• External vertical wall of high rise buildings
• Unglazed pottery wares
• Any other masonry structures needing water repellency
• Soft porous stones
• Plinth level RCC beams to prevent rising dampness & salt elevation into brick works

Unlike other silicone based water repellents, Ridex WR transparent waterproof coating has good abrasion resistance due to its Melamine content, which gives a longer life. Methods of application : Clean the surface to be treated with a hard brush to make it free from dirt, moss, algae, etc. Ensure complete dryness of the surface for perfect results. Apply YDG1COAT WR generously on the clean surface with a clean brush evenly. Allow it to dry for atleast 3 hours. Leave the surface for at least 12 hours.

Ridex OR is an excellent waterproof coating agent for Glazed china chips or I.P.S. finished surfaces! Many times it happens that when the monsoon is at the doorsteps, water proofing becomes inevitable, but is not possible to carry it out in conventional way, due to many reasons like : a) Lack of time b) Lack of funds c) Lack of awareness about the bad shape of terrace surface, etc. This is when Ridex OR waterproof coating agent comes in handy due to its non invasive, economical, fast yet reliable application! Description : Ridex OR is a solvent based system, having Melaminc, Silicone & Acrylates as active ingredients. It can be easily applied with brush or sprayed on clean & dry surface to achieve a water proof & highly hydrophobic surface. The best feature of Ridex OR waterproof coating agent is that no invasive methods like chiseling or breaking or V grooving is required. Coverage : (A) On glazed china chip surfaces : About 100 to 110 Sq. Ft. per Kg (B) On smooth I.P.S. surfaces : About 80 to 90 Sq. Ft. per Kg. Application Method : (1) Wash & clean the surface to be waterproofed. Make sure there are no earlier coating of water proof compounds. If present, that should be removed before washing the surface. (2) Observe the surface carefully to identify any cracks present. If found, cracks should be first moistened & a priming coat of Ridex AP should be applied on the cracks with a brush. After about 15-20 mins, apply a homogeneously mixed mixture of 1 part Ridex AP & 1 part fresh cement on the cracks. (3) After at least 2 hours, apply Ridex OR on entire surface with a clean & dry brush. Allow the coat to set for at least one night. Do not disturb or wet the surface during setting time. Packing : Available in 20/50/210 Kg.s Shelf Life : At least one year in scaled container away from heat. Important : If splashed on face, medical help should be sought immediately.

Water repellent (Protector) is used for imparting a colourless water repellent surface finish to mineral building material without significantly reducing water vapour permeability. It is also used to provide a barrier against rising damp and last for a longer period. Thus the product can be used for :- i) Surface treatment of concrete. ii) Making manufactured and natural stones water repellent. iii) Making low fired clay products e.g. roof tiles, bricks, floor tiles, flower pots, etc. water repellent. iv) Making plastered surface water repellent. Special features of water repellents :- i) Good penetration. ii) No change in appearance of the substrate. iii) Water vapor permeability is not reduced. iv) Pack free, durable finish. v) Ecofriendly. vi) Low moisture entrapment. vii) Good exterior durability. viii) Applicable on moist substrate.

Ridex Seal is a 100% Silanes & Siloxancs based water repellent coating which when diluted with water turns a micro emulsion with nanometer particle size. This provides excellent penetration in the surface along with water repellency when applied on any masonry substrate while maintaining surface breathability. Unlike other water repellent coatings Ridex Seal can be used as a primer coat, which can improve adhesion of paint on the surface at the same time yielding excellent impermeability. Application field : 1) Concrete surface (unplastered) 2) Plastered surface 3) For injection grouting to stop/retard efflorescence. 4) As a primer cum waterproofing coat before painting. 5) Additional water proofing system for R.C.C. slabs, IPS surface or china mosaic chips. 6) Non-toxic anti fungal coat in O.I I.water tank. Dilution ratio : 1:15 to 20 times with water Coverage : 1,200 to 2,000 Sq. Ft.s / Kg. in diluted form depending on the porosity of the surface. Shelf life : 2 years in packed container. Pot life : 2to 3 days in diluted form. Penetration : 2 to 3 m.m. depending on the density of the substrate. Application method : After cleaning the surface & sealing all visible cracks, apply two coats of diluted Yogi Crete Seal (wet on wet) on it. Do not allow the first coat to dry. Allow 7 days time for complete crystallization before checking water repellency & impermeability. If used as a primer, paint can be applied on third day of application. Post Application properties : a) Excellent water repellency. b) Good priming property before paint, plaster or any other coating. c) Excellent breathability. d) No change in texture of the surface. e) Protection against chemical attack. 0 Prevents efflorescence. g) Penetrates up to 3m.m.& forms crystals. h) Anti fungal & U.V. resistant. i) Increases the life of concrete by preventing passage of moisture up to re-bars. Packing : lOKg, 2()Kg. 50Kg.s plastic cans. Caution : If splashed in eyes or entered in human body by accident, medical help should be immediately sought.
