TECHNICAL DATA

ASTM D 6506, Class B

APPLICATION

NOTE: Prior to application, consult the waterproofing manufacturer to determine whether the polyethylene film facing on one side, or the asphalt-impregnated reinforced mat on the other side of PROTECTION COURSE, is approved as compatible to the specific waterproofing product being protected.

PROTECTION COURSE is installed to form a continuous protective layer over the membrane waterproofing. The sheets can be easily cut with a roofer's knife for fitting at protrusions.

Surface Condition: The waterproofing membrane must be free of sharp projections, dirt, and dust. If water testing is desired, it should be made prior to placing PROTECTION COURSE. Note: PROTECTION COURSE should be applied at the end of each day waterproofing to both horizontal and vertical surfaces.

Horizontal Surfaces: PROTECTION COURSE should be installed over the waterproofing membrane as soon as permissible by the membrane applicator or manufacturer. PROTECTION COURSE sheets should be butted together and cut to fit all intersecting surfaces and protrusions. If desired, joints may be covered with DETAIL STRIP from W. R. MEADOWS or roofer glass reinforced tape embedded in hot asphalt as a secondary waterproofing system. (See PRECAUTIONS.)

Vertical Surfaces: For dampproofed and/or waterproofed vertical walls to receive backfill, PROTECTION COURSE should be butt jointed and, if necessary, temporarily held in place while backfilling.

Backfilling: Backfilling against vertical walls should be done immediately using care and caution to avoid damaging the waterproofing application. Backfill material should not be dropped against PROTECTION COURSE in such a manner that it could drag the sheet down as the backfill drops. For horizontal applications, the waterproofing and PROTECTION COURSE should be installed just prior to the installation of the wearing surface.

PRECAUTIONS

Where PROTECTION COURSE is adhered to a waterproofing membrane, use an approved adhesive. Where taped joints are desired with tape set in hot asphalt, consult membrane manufacturer. PROTECTION COURSE is shipped on pallets with the polyethylene anti-stick sheet on the top or exposed side. PROTECTION COURSE should be stored on pallets and placed on a level surface. CAUTION: Do not apply PROTECTION COURSE over liquid waterproofing membranes containing volatile solvents until all of the solvent has evaporated. Consult membrane manufacturer for specific application details prior to placing PROTECTION COURSE. Read and follow application information and precautions. Refer to Safety Data Sheet for complete health and safety information.

SPECIFICATIONS

ASTM D 6153, Type III

APPLICATION

Note: For applications receiving overlays other than asphalt, please consult W. R. MEADOWS Technical Service.

Surface Preparation: New concrete surfaces are to be fully cured and dry or approved by the engineer. Surface is to be cleaned of all dust, dirt, and debris just prior to priming. Existing concrete surfaces are to have a smooth, sound, monolithic surface, free of voids, spalled areas, sharp protrusions, and loose aggregate. Remove all traces of old membranes, oil, grease, or other contaminants. For enhanced bond between asphalt overlay and MEL-DEK, apply an asphalt emulsion, water-based tack coat to the surface of MEL-DEK.

Temperature: MEL-DEK may be applied in fair weather at air and concrete surface temperatures of 40deg F (4deg C) and higher.

Joints and Slab Drainage: Apply a reinforcing strip of DETAIL STRIP from W. R. MEADOWS over all non-working joints or cracks over 3/16 (4.76 mm) wide before applying finished membrane. Seal all terminations with POINTING MASTIC from W. R. MEADOWS. Deck surface must provide proper pitch to gutters and drains. Drainage openings should be provided at the structural deck level to drain any water that penetrates the asphaltic concrete surface.

Conditioning: Condition all surfaces to be covered with MEL-PRIME, MEL-PRIME N.E., or MEL-PRIME W/B adhesive from W. R. MEADOWS. Adhesive may be spray-applied or applied with a lamb's wool roller. Allow adhesive to dry until tack-free. Primed areas not covered in 24 hours must be re-primed. Coverage: 250 - 300 ft.2/gal. (6.14 - 7.36 m2/L).

Application Method: Apply MEL-DEK from low point to high point in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. In the transverse direction, overlap in shingle fashion 2 (63.5 mm) after removing the white polyethylene strip that exposes the 3/4 (19.1 mm) rubberized asphalt. This will provide the membrane-to-membrane weld at seams. Longitudinally, overlap 6 (150 mm) and seal with POINTING MASTIC. Once positioned, MEL-DEK should be immediately hand-rubbed onto the surface, followed by a pressure-applied roll pressing of the complete surface to assure positive adhesion. Seal all terminations with POINTING MASTIC. Note: Where a 125+ mil thick membrane is desired, overlap each roll of MEL-DEK 51%.

Inspect and Repair: Inspect thoroughly before covering and make any necessary repairs immediately. Patch all tears, slit fish mouths and patch, then seal edges of all patches with POINTING MASTIC.

Paving: Placement of the asphalt concrete overlay should be accomplished as soon as possible after application of MEL-DEK. A minimum 2 (50 mm) compacted overlay thickness is required. The temperature of the asphalt concrete at the time of compaction should be a minimum of 29deg F (1.6deg C), not to exceed 340deg F (171.1deg C). Paving equipment should be rubber tire variety. Protect the membrane surface from unnecessary traffic. Place the overlay from low point to high point with care and caution.
