When discussing the factors that make MasterSeal 6100 FX an enduring benchmark in cementitious waterproofing, the following reasons stand out:
- Low consumption: MasterSeal 6100 FX is lightweight and needs only 1.8 kg of powdered material to ensure durable and effective applications of waterproofing. Use of MasterSeal 6100 FX saves costs thanks to a reduction in material required, lower labour costs during installation and a significant decrease in maintenance once applied.
- High elasticity even at low temperatures: With Class A4 (minimum crack width 1.25 mm) at 20ºC but also Class A3 (minimum 0.5 mm) at -10ºC, MasterSeal 6100 FX is a highly durable elastic membrane that retains its crack-bridging properties in a wide variety of demanding conditions.
- Aesthetic finishing: Available in UV-resistant concrete grey and real white versions, MasterSeal 6100 FX can be used as a final coating on exterior applications without the need to apply additional protection products.
Alongside its technical and economic benefits, MasterSeal 6100 FX also offers a higher degree of eco-efficiency compared to other standard waterproofing solutions. Read more about the sustainability story of MasterSeal 6100 FX here: 2mio m² waterproofed concrete - saving 3.4 mio kg CO2eq
