Description
Dr. Fixit Newcoat is a heavy duty terrace waterproof coating system, composed of specially developed highly
elastic & resilient acrylic polymers, properly selected & graded fillers, lightfast & weather durable pigments,
micro-fibres, additives & best quality fungicidal in water medium. It is used as a liquid applied waterproofing
membrane for all types of building terraces. Dr. Fixit Newcoat is a three-layer system with coats in different
603 Dr. Fixit Newcoat
colours ensuring proper build-up of the thickness, making it a reliable waterproofing system. The coating
performance can be enhanced by providing a fibre mesh that is embedded or sandwiched between the coats.
Typical Applications
}}Building roofs / Terraces– Flat & sloping.
}}Over existing cementitious waterproofing treatments like brickbat coba, concrete screeds, etc.
Features
}} Film thickness – Provides higher dry film thickness of 1 mm in three coat application
}}Crack bridging - Bridges cracks up to 2 mm width
}}Application advantage - No need to remove existing sound brickbat coba, plaster, concrete surface
}}Suitability - Can be used for flat as well as sloping roofs
}}Strength - Higher tensile strength, tear resistance & bond strength with cementitious substrates
}}Resilience – Forms highly elastic & resilient coating so helps to withstand the structural movements
}}Durability – Resistant to UV & weather conditions
}}Abrasion resistant – No additional protective coating is required for roof subjected to foot traffic
}}Ease of application – Can be applied by brush & roller easily
}}Weight addition – Light in weight does not add extra weight over the roof
}}Toxicity – It is non-toxic in nature
}}Breathability – It is breathable
}}Easy to recoat existing surfaces coated earlier with Dr. Fixit Newcoat.

}}Prepare the surface thoroughly by cleaning, washing and removing dust, dirt, oil, grease and loose particles.
}}In existing old terraces with brickbat coba or screeds, the substrate must be checked for its soundness.
Damaged or hollow portions, sharp edges, etc. must be cut and removed till the mother slab. The slab should
be recoated with slurry of Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP and cement in 1:1 proportion. After drying, the brick bat coba
in that portion should be reinstated by mixing Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP in the base slurry as well as while doing
the top coba.
}}In areas, where the coba is sound, the surface cracks must be filled with Dr. Fixit Crack-X or polymer-modified
mortar in case cracks are wider than 5 mm should be repair using of Dr. Fixit MPB / URP .
}}Ensure that the roof slope of a minimum of 1 in 100, is already provided.
}}Bitumen based waterproofing treatments if existing, must be completely removed by mechanical scarification
or by any other effective mechanical means.

}}Dilute 2 parts of Dr. Fixit Primeseal with 1 one part of water. This dilution will cover 7 to 8 sq.mt. Allow it to dry
for 6 to 8 hrs.
}}Apply 1st coat of Dr. Fixit Newcoat at the rate of 2 sq. mt. per litre (Make grid lines of 1 mtr by 1 mtr on the
surface with chalk for measuring application coat of 2 sq. mt.)

}}An open woven glass fibre mesh of 2.5 mm x 2.5 mm must be sandwiched between the first and second coat.
While the 1st coat is still wet, place the fibre mesh on it.
}}Dr. Fixit Newcoat to be applied with brush or roller in one direction only. Check to see no void surface is left
untreated / uncoated. Allow the first coat to dry for 6-8 hours.
}}Apply second coat of Dr. Fixit Newcoat with the same application coverage. Application direction of second
coat should be perpendicular to that of the first coat. Check to see no void surface is left uncoated with
second coat. Allow second coat to dry for 6-8 hours.
}}Apply third coat of Dr. Fixit Newcoat at an application direction that is perpendicular to that of the second
coat with same application coverage rate. Check to see no void surface is left untreated / uncoated. All coats
should be applied in direction perpendicular to each other.
}}The sequence of colours of Dr. Fixit Newcoat can be decided depending on the desired top coat colour.
}}In case only two colours are being used, ensure that the colour of the first and the third coat are the same.
This would ensure correct consumption of material that will deliver a total DFT of 1 mm.
}}Drying time between coats will be 6 to 8 hrs.
}}Allow the system to air cure for 7 days minimum. A total thickness of 1 mm must be achieved when Dr. Fixit
Newcoat is dry.
}}7 days after application of Dr. Fixit Newcoat, it should be checked for its adhesion to the substrate. For this,
mark a square of 5 cm x 5 cm, for every 200 sq. m of the area.
}}Cut the square with a knife diagonally across the square. Rip the coating and check the coating’s thickness
with vernier callipers, to see if the dry film has an average thickness of 1 mm. Once these tests are done,
reapply Newcoat over these portions, in accordance with the regular procedure.

}}Over a period of time or some years, if Dr. Fixit Newcoat has developed cracks on exposure to weathering or
extreme temperature variations, it is extremely easy to recoat over it again, with only one coat of application
of Dr. Fixit Newcoat. Cracks if any, can be treated by placing a fibre mesh over a recoat, while it is still wet.
After this dries, it would need an additional coat over the mesh to strengthen the area. In rest of the area
where there are no cracks or damage on the surface, you can just go in for only one coat of Dr. Fixit Newcoat,
after properly sanding the surface.
