\<strong\>Vapour Block Primer /Efflorescence Prevention \</strong\>

Apply 1 x coat at a minimum coverage of 1 litre/10m²\.

\<strong\>Moisture Barrier \</strong\>

To provide optimum moisture inhibitor properties against a negative head of pressure apply 2 x coats at a coverage of 1litre/10m² per coat\. For the blocking of vapours and negative entry of moisture on vertical surfaces, running or dripping water must be first treated with a water plug\.

Do not apply Gripset E60 to surfaces where surface water is present\. If the recommended coverage has not been achieved in 2 coats, apply further coats until the required coverage is formed\.

\<em\>Coverage may vary due to porosity of substrate\.\</em\>
