Koster CFR1
HIGHLY FLEXIBLE, HOT APPLIED RUBBER /BITUMEN MASS - easy to apply and quick solution for waterproofing of podium slabs and garden areas
 
DESCRIPTION
The KÖSTER CFR 1 is a highly flexible hot bonding mass based on rubber and bitumen. It provides excellent adhesion to virtually any dry mineral and bituminous substrate. Once CFR1 has been applied to the substrate, it accommodates cracks & joints flawlessly.
It improves the resistance to mechanical stress considerably.
  The CFR 1 is resistant to water pressure up to 50 bar.

FIELD OF APPLICATION

The KÖSTER CFR 1 is a flexible, crack-bridging sealant that is resistant to pressurised water. It bonds to all mineral substrates, wood or metal. Further, it is an excellent flexible sealing compound for expansion joints.

SUBSTRATE
The substrate has to be dry, clean, free of loose particles, laitance and other contaminants that might affect the bonding adversely.

APPLICATION
Melt the KÖSTER CFR 1 in a bitumen heater equipped with a paddle, while increasing the temperature to a minimum of 150°C /302°F. The heater should have a thermostat. Do not overheat the sealing mass. The maximum temperature must not exceed 180°C /356°F, because higher temperatures would damage the rubber component in the material. The conventional method for the application of KÖSTER CFR 1 is the pouring method with a pouring can, pouring pot or a pouring pail. Cover the whole surface and spread it with a brush or broom or simply fill the joints.

CONSUMPTION
appr. 1.00 kg / m² per mm layer thickness
joints: appr. 1.0 kg per litre joint volume

CLEANING OF TOOLS
After cooling down of the mass with KÖSTER Bitumen Remover.

PACKAGING
24 kg in a cardboard box

STORAGE
Virtually unlimited.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Stick to the safety precautions that are necessary for the application of hot bitumen. Apply only in sufficiently ventilated areas.
