adhesives to millions in India and is
ranked amongst the most trusted
brands in the country. Some of our
other major brands are Dr. Fixit,
Pagel and Roff in construction
chemicals, Cyclo and Motomax in
auto care, Ranipal in fabric care,
Fevistik glue stick and Hobby Ideas
which is a Do-It-Yourself range of
hobby and craft products.
We develop most of our products

in-house with the help of a strong,
research-driven innovation led with
consumer insights. All the products
are manufactured under ISO

STATE-OF-THE-ART
WATERPROOFING
SYSTEMS
Waterproofing is a process that is

designed to prevent water from
penetrating a structure. Typically,
waterproofing is done in various
layers and stages to create
multiple barriers so that water
cannot penetrate the structure.
A combination of such stages is
referred to as creating a Building
Envelope. However, most often
enough importance is not given
to this very crucial area while
constructing new structures.
Over-reliance on conventional and
outdated systems, low awareness
about modern waterproofing
systems and lack of trained
expertise for application are some
of the reasons for the same.
Heres where Dr. Fixit can help

you get the best waterproofing
solutions for your new constructions.
Dr. Fixit is Indias leading brand
in waterproofing with a wide
variety of products and solutions
to meet all your waterproofing
needs - from foundations to walls
to roofs. With access to the latest
global technologies through its
international subsidiaries and R&D
centres, Dr. Fixit constantly brings
innovative waterproofing solutions.
Dr. Fixit also offers full technical
support with a large pool of trained
applicators. Get in touch with us to
benefit from our state-of-the-art
waterproofing systems for your
new constructions.

surface PREPARATION
Application
Before applying the waterproofing

membrane, clean the surface
for any debris, etc. Remove all
surface imperfections, protrusions,
structurally unsound and loose
concrete, and repair with polymer
modified mortar using Dr. Fixit
Pidicrete URP.
Apply three coats of Dr. Fixit

Solyseal to the inside area of the
lift pit to a total thickness of 2 mm.
Leave this to be air-cured.
Where separate concrete layers

are poured at different levels, fill
and smoothen the gaps to obtain a
comparatively smoother surface.
When cleaning the substrate,
remove any pollutants - such
as chemicals, curing agents, etc. which may affect the
membrane adhesion.
On the inside corners, over the

angle fillets, place a glass fibre
mesh measuring 2 mm x 2 mm
as a reinforcement over the first
coat of Dr. Fixit Solyseal, while it
is still wet. Subsequently the next
two coats can be applied after the
previous coat is touch-dry.
Place a protection board of 4
mm thickness to protect it from
damages at the site and the
installation of the lift car.

Installation of Dr. Fixit Flexshield
Membrane for Raft Waterproofing
Whenever Dr. Fixit Flexshield

membrane is being installed, it is highly
recommended to lay membrane at the
position and allow it to relax for at least
45 minutes. This will help in releasing
the tensions in the membrane.
Always lay a geotextile of 250 gsm
for protection of the waterproofing
membrane, loosely laid on the
concrete substrate before you

spread out the Dr. Fixit Flexshield
membrane, to protect it from any
protrusions.
In the horizontal areas, lay the

Dr. Fixit RoofIX DRAIN
WPA
Methodology
Roofing accessories are extremely
important while installing
waterproofing membranes as they
ensure standardisation in the fixtures
and a long-lasting installation.
Dr. Fixit Roofix Flashing
A flashing is a metallic strip

generally in a non-corroding type
of metal into which waterproofing
membranes are tucked in. This
eliminates the need to insert the
membrane after cutting a groove
into the parapet or side wall
which also makes it look shabby
and is often left to the skill of the
applicator.
Dr. Fixit Roofix Flashing is an
extruded, 4-bend premium grade
powder-coated termination flashing
for a wide range of waterproofing
systems. Once installed, it will
protect the waterproofing system
from any water penetration from
vertical upstands, roof protrusions,
duct entries, etc. Dr. Fixit Roofix
Flashings revolutionary design also
helps to prevent any mouth opening
at the vertical termination area.
Dr. Fixit Roofix Flashing can
be fixed using standard oneinch SS screws and Rawl plugs
Dr. Fixit Roofix Drain
directly onto the substrate just

above the termination level of the
waterproofing system.
Dr. Fixit Roofix Drain
Dr. Fixit Roofix Drain is an

important accessory that is unique
and comes along with a leaf
grating. This roof drain is designed
to effectively collect water in
the lowest end of the roof at the
parapet junctions or in the middle
of the roof, to which the slope is
cast so the water runs off into it.
There are two types of Dr. Fixit
Roofix Drains:

a. `End drain for fixing at parapet

wall junctions
b. `Circular drain which is fixed in

the middle portions of the roof.
Tackling Expansion Joints in

Roofs
Clean the substrate with a broom

brush or compressed air.
Construct a masonry upstand to a
minimum height of 250 mm.
Rain Water Outlet Spout
Form triangle fillets measuring 50

x 50 mm on all vertical upstands.
The fillet should be prepared in
concrete admixed with 10 - 15% of
Dr. Fixit Pidicrete URP, by weight
of cement.
Apply the selected Dr. Fixit
Waterproofing System for upstand
area, depending upon the type of
roof, and other parameters. The
treatment should always be taken
up over these angle fillets.
External
Walls
Terminate all vertical upstands as

per standard termination details.
Seal the expansion joint with
filler board, with a backer rod of
closed cell polyethylene foam or of
extruded polystyrene, inserted.
Fill the joint with selected sealant.
Place the expansion joint cover over
the joint as shown in the illustration,
in a way that water will drain off on
to the roof.
Seal horizontal joints with a seal
tape.

only designated equipment. It cannot
be sprayed through any other type
of commonly available sprayers.
Extend the Dr. Fixit Extensa

coating up to the top and cover
the overflow concrete channels all
around the periphery of the pool.
Over this, place a 3.5 mm fleece
backed self-adhesive membrane Dr. Fixit Samshield PS 3500.
Being self-adhesive, it will stick to
Dr. Fixit Extensa and will serve
as protection for the subsequent
short-creting that needs to be
done (in case of a swimming pool).
Carry out the short-creting over
a steel reinforcement installed in
accordance to the engineers advice,
and to the required thickness.
Use a wooden float to give it a
smooth finish.
After a thorough curing of at least
3 - 4 days, take up Dr. Fixit Fastflex
for application over the short-creted
surface. Just before this, apply angle
fillets in polymer modified mortar
admixed with Dr. Fixit Pidicrete
URP all round the periphery of the
swimming pool floor, at the parapet
wall junctions.
Initiate the application of Dr. Fixit
Fastflex over a saturated surface
dry short-crete. A total of three coats
should be applied in all, ensuring that
each coat of application dries before
taking up the next.

the insert pipes and the wall-to-floor

coat is still wet. This will increase the
waterproofing protection in these
areas.
While the third coat of Dr. Fixit

application against chlorine in the
