ONE PACK FLEXIBLE FASTSET
One pack Flexible Fastset is a tough, flexible and fast setting membrane, specifically formulated for waterproofing bathrooms, laundries and balconies.
The fast set characteristic of One pack Flexible Fastset makes the membrane ideal for waterproofing at temperatures between 5-10 degrees. At these temperatures even solvent based membranes have poor drying properties.
One pack Flexible Fastset has also been specifically formulated with a unique synthetic microfibre system. Morgan's synthetic microfibre system increases the membrane's strength and eliminates the need for a separate reinforcement mat. One pack Flexible Fastset also incorporates an advanced polymer fusion technology which is totally resistant to re-emulsification. Morgan's advanced polymer fusion technology, exhibits excellent water immersion, moisture and low vapour transmission characteristics.
FEATURES/BENEFITS

CRITICAL AREAS
Internal wet areas (Refer Fig.4)
Ensure wall and floor sheets are installed as per sheet manufacturer's recommendations, with a 5-6mm gap between the bottom of the wall sheet and the floor.
Ensure suitable brick/concrete hobs are used (do not use timber) and that the top of the hob does not slope outwards. Ensure that falls to the waste are min. 1:80 (i.e. 25mm in 2m) before waterproofing.
Ensure outlet pipes are securely fixed and that the waste or drainage flanges are recessed into the floor.
Avoid sheet joints in shower recess floor
Ensure that sheets are securely fixed to the wall at the bottom edge, and sheet joints are treated with Acriflex and PVC duct tape.
Treat nail and screw holes with Acriflex.
Seal the perimeters of taps, shower outlets and waste outlets with Acriflex.
Apply a bead of Acriflex to all horizontal and vertical corners. Apply a bead of Acriflex to the junction of the hob or angle and walls.
Apply the membrane to the entire shower recess floor and down into waste or drainage flange.
Apply the membrane over the hob and at least 100mm beyond the outside edge of the hob (ideally to entire wet area floor).
Apply the membrane 1800mm up the wall or to the height of the shower recess.
Install the shower screen to inside edge of the hob.
Balconies (Refer Fig.3)
Ensure that the deck is constructed with falls to edge/drains of min. 1:100 (i.e. 20mm in 2m) or else achieve the fall with a sand/cement screed.
Ensure a min. set down (step down) of 50mm to the finished floor level (i.e. top of tiles).
Ensure suitable flashing is installed, ideally prior to the installation of the balcony screen/sliding door.
Treat any sheet joints with silicone prior to waterproofing.
Prepare and seal all wall/floor junctions with a bead of Acriflex.
Apply the membrane up the step down and as far up underneath the screen door flashing as possible (ideally waterproof prior to installing door).
Where possible, apply the membrane prior to building divisional walls.
Apply the membrane to the entire balcony floor and at least 50mm up the wall (or to the first course of bricks).
Apply the membrane to the top of the parapets and divisional walls, or else install suitable metal capping.
Apply the membrane down over the front edge of the balcony onto the drip rail.
Carefully seal any gaps around balcony penetrations prior to applying the membrane.
Apply the membrane down into outlets and drains, ensuring excess material is removed.
APPLICATION NOTES
Surface Preparation
Ensure all surfaces are structurally sound and totally dry. All sheet substrates must be securely fixed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Falls to outlets of at least 1:80 or 25mm in 2m (wet areas) or 1:100 externally, must be achieved prior to tiling.
The surface to be coated should be free from dust, oil, paint, curing compounds and any other contaminating materials.
Damaged concrete should be repaired (levelled) and surface defects including all cracks and sharp protrusions should be treated prior to the application of the membrane. Remove laitance on concrete or screeds by mechanical means. Highly dense (>40 mps) or steel trowelled concrete should be roughened by mechanical means (shot blasting, grinding, etc.)
Priming
The primer is a critical part of the waterproofing system. Apply one coat of Plastinex Primer by brush or roller to all areas to be waterproofed including the floor waste. Allow the primer to dry completely prior to the application of One Pack Flexible. This will take approx. 20-30 minutes depending upon weather conditions and porosity of the substrate. Coverage is approximately 6 6m2 per litre. Plastic (e.g. PVC) pipes should be primed with a solvent based plumber's primer. Prime metal surfaces with a suitable metal primer.
GENERAL APPLICATION
Crack preparation: (Refer Fig.5)
Cracks <2mm: Clean and remove any loose particles in the crack. Prime the areas carefully with Plastinex Primer before applying two coats of One Pack Membrane, in a 200mm wide band, along the length of the crack.
Cracks 2-6mm (Ref Fig 5): Prepare and prime the crack as indicated. Apply a bed of Acriflex into the crack and extend it 5mm either side. Apply a 300mm wide band of One pack Flexible Fast Set along the entire length of the crack. Place a 200mm wide band of reinforcement mat into the wet membrane. Remove any creases or air pockets in the mat. Immediately apply a second coat to completely fill the mat.
Movement/Construction Joints (Refer Fig.6)
Movement joints (<6mm): Clean and prime the joint before filling it with a bead of neutral Acriflex and extending it 5mm each side of joint. Apply a 300mm wide band of One pack Flexible Fast Set along the entire length of the joint strip of reinforcing mat into the membrane. Whilst still wet, apply a second coat of the membrane, removing any air pockets in the mat.
Constructions joints (>6mm): Use the same procedure as above.
NOTE: If tiling, movement joints should be taken to the surface of the tiles. Fill the joints between the tiles directly above the movement joints with an appropriate joint sealant (e.g. Acriflex).
Corners & Coving Areas (Refer Figs. 1 & 2)
After priming, apply a generous bead (110mm) of neutral Acriflex in coving areas and corners. Smooth over the Acriflex so that it extends 5mm up the wall and 5mm over the floor. Apply a first coat of One pack Flexible Fast Set to the area and allow the membrane to dry. Apply a second coat ensuring that excess product is removed from the junction (the final dry film thickness should be around 1.2-1.5mm). Alternatively, if a reinforcement mat is used between coats, then the second coat can be applied as soon as the mat is fully bedded into the first coat.
Walls
After priming, apply two coats of One pack Flexible Fast Set in two opposite directions on vertical surfaces. Wall sheet joints should be treated with Acriflex PVC duct tape or base jointing compound. In balcony situations, take the membrane up underneath any existing cover flashing or install appropriate flashing, Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.
Floors
Two coats of One pack Flexible Fast Set are required to achieve the correct dry film thickness of 1.2-1.5mm. Apply the first coat over the primed surface and allow it to dry (1 -2 hours at 23oC, 50% RH) before applying a second coat in an opposite direction. In shower recesses a drainage flange must be installed on all timber/sheeted floors, and are strongly recommended on all other substrates. Where possible rebate the flange into the floor. Seal the perimeter of the flange with Acriflex. If a flange is not installed, the membrane must be applied down the pipe.
Allow the membrane to dry completely before tiling. Refer drying times.
Balcony Penetrations (Refer Fig. 7)
Place a suitable flanged metal upstand around the penetration. Prime the metal with an appropriate metal primer and allow to dry. Apply a 10mm bead of Acriflex around the perimeter of the penetration. Apply the first coat of One pack Flexible Fast Set on the substrate and the flanged metal. Allow first coat to dry before applying a second coat, ensuring a finished dry film thickness of no less than 1.2mm is achieved. Place a suitable flashing collar around the penetration, sealing it with a suitable sealant.

SPECIFICATION
The waterproofing membrane shall be Morgan's one pack Flexible Fast Set membrane formulated to provide a tough, flexible, long lasting water barrier under tiling systems.
PACKAGING
Single component: 20 kg (makes approx. 15 litres)
6.5 kg (makes approx. 5 litres)
SHELF LIFE
12 months when stored in a dry place at 25°C.
COVERAGE
One 20 kg unit will cover around 11m2 (based on two coats applied at a wet film thickness of 1.00mm per coat). Coverage will vary, depending on the condition of the site.
DRYING TIMES
Recoat Time
1 hour between first and second coats. Alternatively, if a re-enforcement mat is used between coats, then the second coat can be applied whilst the first coat is still wet.
Dry through
The slowest drying areas are those where the membrane has been applied over a silicone bond breaker, e.g. wall and floor junctions. The membrane cannot be tiled over until these critical areas are completely dry. The membrane is totally dry in 12 hours at 23°C/50% RH, but can take up to 24 hours at 1O°C/50% RH.
Fully Cured
The shower should not be used until the membrane has reached its full strength. The membrane is fully cured 7 days after it has been applied at 25°C/50% RH. Drying times will vary depending on humidity, temperature and surface porosity. Do not apply on substrates where the surface temperature is below 50C or above 25°C.
CLEANING
Wash hands, brushes, trowel, etc with water while the membrane is still wet.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not use the product in the following situations:
- Areas subject to negative hydrostatic pressures or rising damp.
- Where the substrate is not dry or rain is imminent
- Where the membrane will be left exposed and subjected to regular foot traffic
- On glazed, glass or other totally impervious surfaces (e.g. areas pre treated with water repellents)
- Where the surface temperature is below 50C or greater than 25°C.
All floor areas must have adequate fails either built into the surface or achieved with a sand/cement screed. For substrates or situations other than those listed contact Morgan Ceramic Tile Adhesives.
