1 DESCRIPTION

IKOprotect Teknotan Detail and MS Detail are coloured, liquid waterproofing systems that are applied with a
brush. After reaction or polymerisation with the humidity present in the air, they form a waterproof skin around
the finished roof detail, resulting in seamless waterproofing.
In many cases, roof details are too complex to guarantee a waterproof finish using standard roof membranes.

2 AREAS OF APPLICATION

The system is specifically recommended for the waterproofing of roof details for roofs with technical installations
and for roofs with complex shapes, in both new buildings and renovations.
The system can also be used for the waterproofing of simple and complex roof details such as flashing, raised edges
of domes or skylights, chimneys, ventilation lead-throughs, the banister feet, etc.

3 TECHNICAL PROPERTIES REINFORCING FLEECE

not affected by acids and most alkalis and bacteria. Use the strip at a width of ± 12 cm.

Weight 30 g/m²

Tensile strength lengthwise 52 N/ 5 cm

Tensile strength crosswise 61 N/ 5 cm

Tear resistance lengthwise 12 N

Tear resistance crosswise 11.3 N

Elongation at break, lengthwise 28 %

4.1 Preparation of the substrate

The substrate must be clean, dry, and free from dust and loose particles. The area around the detail should be
outlined with masking tape in order to obtain a well-outlined finish for the detail.
Table 1 shows a list of the substrates on which Teknotan Detail and MS Detail can be applied, indicating whether
the substrate should be pre-treated and primed first.

Remarks for this table:

Please contact IKO before working on substrates that are not included in this table. It may be possible to use the
product, but an internal test should be carried out first on a sample of the substrate to be treated.
1) In the case of bituminous membranes finished with sand or talc, remove all loose sand or talc with a stiff
brush before starting.
2) In the case of bituminous membranes finished with slate flakes or granulate, brush away any loose
particles with a wire hand brush before starting.
3) An internal ageing test should be carried out first.
4) Roughen the membrane first using a belt sander, and then apply Quick Prime Plus.
5) Roughen the membrane first using a belt sander.
6) Sand down the metal to clean the substrate.
7) Pre-clean with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or Acetone solvent.
8) If the substrate is very porous, apply Teknoprimer Detail first. The substrate must be clean, dry and free
from dust and loose particles, and must have cured for a minimum of 28 days. The relative humidity of
the screed or concrete may not exceed 18%, measured on the wooden scale of a Protimeter.
9) Must have been pre-treated for outdoor use. Chipboard panels must be water-repellent.

Version 2013_1
Situations where these liquid waterproofing systems cannot be applied:

• On Teknoprimer Detail that is still moist or wet (drying time approx. 30 min.). The primer layer must have
become transparent.
• Teknotan Detail cannot be applied indoors due to the odour. MS Detail can be applied indoors.
• If the temperature is below + 5°C , or if there is a risk that the temperature will drop below 5°C within 4 hours
following the application.
• If the air temperature is above +35°C, and if the surface temperature is above +50°C.
• At a relative humidity degree above 85 %.
• During rainfall or in the case of fog.
• On substrates where the temperature is below + 5°C.
• On a frozen but dry substrate.
• In areas where capillary rising damp could occur (e.g., vapour diffusion within the building because there is no
moisture barrier, or humidity from the soil in the case of a terrace on the ground floor because there is no moisture
barrier under the concrete).
• On synthetic or rubber membranes that are not listed in Table 1.
• On hard polyethylene accessories.
• On polycarbonate boards.
• On natural stone.

4.2 Application of TEKNOPRIMER DETAIL

Apply Teknoprimer Detail (also see product data sheet) with a brush or roller at a rate of 0.1 to 0.2 L/m². Leave to dry
in the open air for 30 minutes. The primer is applied to a distance of 1 cm beyond the surface that is to be treated.
If a layer of Teknotan Detail is applied, this must take place in accordance with Table 1. Always consult the
manufacturer in any other cases.

4.3 Application of Teknotan Detail or MS Detail

Mix Teknotan Detail homogeneously and slowly with a wooden spatula. Do not stir mechanically!
Never stir MS Detail!

• Open and close the lid of the packaging smoothly, without using force.
• The coating can be applied with a brush, a roller or a spatula.
• Adapt the size of the brush to the dimensions of the can.
• Always apply Teknotan Detail in 2 layers.
• MS Detail can be applied in 1 layer or in 2 layers (wet-on-wet).
• If a layer of primer has been applied first, the outer edge of the LIQUID WATERPROOFING should be 1 cm inside the
outer edge of the primed area.
• Remove the masking tape within 30 minutes of applying the product.

Follow the application instructions as described above.

For aesthetic reasons you can scatter slate flakes within the damp liquid waterproofing.
After a period of 30 minutes, it is no longer necessary to protect the layer from rain drops.

6 MAINTENANCE

Compliance with the maintenance instructions will extend the service life of the waterproofing system.
The durability can be guaranteed:
• If the surfaces are maintained regularly and appropriately.
• If the utilization is in accordance with the intended purpose.

Maintenance starts from the commissioning of the work, and should include intermediate follow-up visits and at
least one annual visit towards the end of the autumn.
The maintenance work mainly consists of the following items:
• Keeping the water drainage system in proper working order (rain water).
• Regular removal of grass, moss and vegetation.
• Removal of the fallen leaves at the end of the autumn.
• Keeping small accessories (slabs, joints) in good condition, as well as large items (coping stones, parapets, gutters,
etc.).
• Repair of any observed cracks, etc.

Instructions for use:

• Do not attach anything INSIDE the treated surface.
• Do not pour aggressive products onto the surface, not even directly into the drainage system.
• Do not make any modifications without prior expert advice.

7 STORAGE OF THE LIQUID PRODUCTS:

• 12 Months, in the hermetically sealed packaging.

• Store in a dry and cool room, protected from frost.
• Do not store the can upside down.
• Once opened: use within 2 months.
• If the can has been opened, a skin will form on the top: cut this away around the edges with a cutter knife and
remove the skin, making sure not to stir the product.
• Keep the edges of the can clean, i.e., do not wipe product off the brush along the edge of the can.
• Close the can properly with the lid, wipe off any product that remains.
• If the lid can no longer be closed or be easily opened because it is tarnished, use a new lid.
