3. Product Description
BASIC USE: Merkrete Hydro Guard 1 is a thin, load bearing membrane composed of a modified
elastomeric copolymer. With excellent elongation properties and high strength, Hydro Guard 1 provides
a 100% waterproof membrane coating while limiting the transfer of substrate cracks to the finished
overlay. The membrane is installed in a liquid state and can be applied to practically any form or
irreguiar shape (i.e. base flashings, parapets, walls, etc.).
Uses: Hydro Guard 1 is for use in commercial buildings, residential housing and other areas requiring
positive waterproofing like pools, fountains, spas, hot tubs, kitchens, countertops, balconies, tub
surrounds, shower stalls and pans, under terrazzo, quarry, ceramic and stone tile. This membrane can be
installed over any sound substrate, vertically or horizontally, interior and exterior.

Packaging:
.1 Gallon Kit: 1 gal. pail (3.781.) of Hydro Guard 1 liquid and one roll 8' x 65' fabric, 60 pails per pallet
. 5 Gallon Unit 5 gal. pail (18.92 1.), 36 pails per pallet
Shelf Life: One year from manufacturing in sealed original container, when properly stored at room
temperature, off the ground in a controlled. dry. heated area.
S. Installation
Surface Preparation: All surfaces must be between 40. F (4' C) to 95' F (35' C) and structurally sound
(deflection not to exceed 1/360 of the span), dry, dean and free from oil, grease, wax, paint, old adhesives,
sealers and curing compounds. Any contaminates which inhibit proper bond must be removed. Substrate
preparation should be completed following ANSI A108.01 "General Requirements: Subsurfaces and
Preparation by Other Trades." All substrates should be plumb and true, surface deviation should not exceed
1/4- in 101. Patching, leveling or properly sloping of wet or exterior areas requiring a mortar bed should be
prepared using Merkrete's underlayments.
Reinforcement
Hydro Guard 1 has been formulated to perform as a waterproof membrane with reinforcing fabric. As a
crack isolation membrane, fabric is typically not recommended. As a waterproof membrane, manufacturer
recommends the use of supplied 8- reinforcing fabric to ensure maximum protection at joints, cracks,
protrusions, dissimilar materials, and drains.
Preparation
Joints, Cracks and Protrusions: pre-fill all substrate cracks, cold and control joints with Merkrete latex modified
thin set or PUC caulking. FIT! allvoids with Merkrete latex modified thin set to within a minimum of 118'. Apply
a liberal coat of Hydro Guard 1 liquid around joints, cracks and protrusions. Embed Merkrete 8" reinforcing
fabric into the wet Hydro Guard 1, cover with a second coat of Hydro Guard 1, "sandwiching" the reinforcing
fabric. Apply an additional application to prevent pinholes.
Drains: must be of the clamping ring-type with weep holes for thin set application. Drain should be even, level,
plumb and fully supported, without movement, FiIi all voids with Merkrete latex modified thin set to within a
minimum of 118- from the drain. Apply a liberal coat of Hydro Guard 1 liquid around and over the bottom drain
clamping ring. Embed Merkrete 8' reinforcing fabric into the wet Hydro Guard 1, cover with a second coat of
Hydro Guard 1, "sandwiching" the reinforcing fabric. Apply an additional application to prevent pinholes. After
drying, set the upper clamping ring onto the Hydro Guard 1 membrane with a continuous bead of Merkrete
PUC caulking or similar material. A toilet flange can be treated in the same manner.
Cement Substrates: All concrete substrates should be cured a minimum of 28 days. Smooth steel troweled
floors to a fine broom finish.

Hydro Guard 1
.Elastomeric Waterproof and
Crack Isolation Membrane
Cement Backer Board: Follow cement board manufacturer's instructions. Tape and fill joints per manufacturer's
directions and "Preparation" section of this data sheet.
Plywood and aSH Substrates: All plywood installations should be interior areas only and protected from
exposure to moisture. Skim coat plywood surfaces with Merkrete latex modified thin set before membrane
application.
Membrane Application: Allow any recently prepared areas to dry. Apply a liberal coat of Merkrete Hydro
Guard 1 Membrane at a rate of 50 s/f per gaUon. Periodically, check the film thickness with a wet film thickness
gauge, first wet coat should be applied 30 mils wet thickness. Apply Merkrete 8" reinforcing fabric into the wet
Hydro Guard 1. After the Hydro Guard 1 turns emerald green, cover with a second coat of Hydro Guard 1 at 30
mils wet thickness, "sandwiching" the reinforcing fabric. Total Hydro Guard 1 membrane thickness after drying
should be 40 mils.
Movement (expansion) joints: designed to experience movement, should be provided to comply with TCA
method EJ 171. For waterproofing of movement (expanSion) joints, the membrane must not be applied
unsupported to bridge across expansion joints. The joint must be cleaned to remove any loose debris and an
opened or closed - cell backer rod is installed to the joint to the proper depth as specified by designer. Merkrete
PUC sealant or Merkrete approved equal is pressed into the joint, coating the sides and leaving the joint flush
with the surface. Aher the sealant is dry, the Hydro Guard 1 membrane is applied following the "Membrane
application" instructions above. Then ceramic or stone tiles are installed over the membrane, leaving a gap over
the joint as specified by the designer. After the tile is set. the joint must be filled as specified by the designer.
Ceramic or Stone Application: Ceramic or stone tile can be installed immediately after the Hydro Guard 1
membrane has dried to the touch. Merkrete recommends a quality latex portland cement thin set like Merkrete
Systems: 70S, 710, 7Dl0, 720, 750, 801 and 820 mortars. Follow the directions on thin set container for proper
application.
Curing: Water testing can usually be done after a minimum of 48 hours at 70. F (21. C) and 50% R.H. Provide
adequate protection for Hydro Guard 1 membrane, even if covered with a ceramic or 'stone tile application,
against exposure to rain, or inclement weather for a minimum of 24 hours at 700 F (210 C) and 50% RH.
Cleaning: Clean tools, hands and equipment with warm soapy water before the material has dried. Material
that has dried is difficult to remove, remove while fresh.
Coverage: (Approximate)
1 gallon kit 50 slf
5 gallon unit 250 slf
Limitations: Do not use Hydro Guard 1 membrane below 40. F (4. C); do not allow membrane or substrate
to be below 40. F (4. C) forthe first 72 hours after application. Cool and wet weather may delay the set times
of the Hydro Guard 1 membrane. Do not apply over surfaces subject to hydrostatic pressure. Do not use as a
primary roofing membrane. Do not leave Hydro Guard 1 membrane unprotected or exposed to weather for
more then 30 days. Do not use membrane as an adhesive or wearing surface, membrane must be covered with
ceramic or stone tile.
