Wykamol & Newton – Professional-Grade Substrate Prep and Detailing
Clever Shield supplies Wykamol and Newton primers, lime inhibitors, jointing/reinforcement tapes, and ancillary prep products to ensure optimal adhesion, detailing, and substrate readiness before applying liquid or sheet waterproofing systems. Proper preparation extends service life, prevents failures, and completes a BS 8102-aligned waterproofing specification.
Why Proper Surface Preparation Matters
-
Maximises waterproofing performance – promotes strong adhesion and seamless membrane application.
-
Prevents bonding issues – reduces risk of blistering, peeling, or edge-lift.
-
Controls free-lime leaching – protects membranes and drainage components.
-
Works in real-site conditions – many systems are damp-tolerant and rapid-curing for efficient turnaround.
Newton – Surface Preparation & Priming
-
HydroSeal 903 Primer – adhesion promoter for cementitious/liquid systems; helps mitigate out-gassing on porous substrates.
-
CDM 906 Lime Inhibitor – controls free-lime deposition to protect Type C (CDM) components and finishes.
-
Reinforcement & Jointing Tapes – double-sided lap tapes, overseal tapes, mesh/rope tapes for corners, laps, penetrations, and changes of plane.
Best for:
-
Below-ground structures (basements, foundations)
-
Concrete repair & preparation prior to waterproofing
-
Construction joints, service penetrations, perimeter details
Wykamol – Primers, Preparation & Reinforcement
-
Sureprime (Premium Performance Primer) – primer for compatible DPM/gas/waterproof membranes; moisture-tolerant, fast to apply.
-
Membrane Tapes & Accessories – double-sided joint tapes, overseal tapes, fibre/fleece and corner strips, gas tapes, and butyl rope for fixing heads and tricky details.
-
Ancillaries – fixing plugs, sealing tapes, and accessories to deliver a complete, reliable installation.
Best for:
-
Internal/external damp-proofing and cavity-drain systems
-
Gas-protection membranes and laps/joints
-
Corners, wall/floor junctions, and high-movement or high-moisture details
When to Use Which
-
Primers – on porous or challenging substrates to improve adhesion and reduce pinholing/out-gassing.
-
Lime inhibitor (Newton CDM 906) – where fresh concrete or free-lime could compromise membranes/drainage.
-
Reinforcement/jointing tapes – at laps, terminations, corners, penetrations, and transitions between materials.
-
Ancillaries (plugs, rope, seals) – to maintain continuity and watertightness at fixings and interfaces.
