MARISEAL® 270 TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
Date: 01.06.2011 – Version 10
Liquid-applied polyurethane waterproofing membrane
Product description Advantages
MARISEAL® 270 is a liquid-applied, highly permanent elastic,
cold applied and cold curing, one component polyurethane
membrane used for long-lasting waterproofing. Solvent based.
The MARISEAL® 270 is based on pure elastomeric
hydrophobic polyurethane resins, which result in excellent
mechanical, chemical, thermal and natural element resistance
properties.
Cures by reaction with ground and air moisture.
• Simple application (roller or airless spray).
• When applied forms seamless membrane without joints.
• Resistant to water.
• Resistant to frost.
• Crack-bridging.
• Provides water vapor permeability, so the surface can breathe.
• Provides excellent thermal resistance, it never turns soft.
• Maintains its mechanical properties over a temperature span of
-30oC to +90oC.
• Provides excellent adhesion to almost any type of surface.
• The waterproofed surface can be walked on.
• Resistant to detergents, oils, seawater and domestic chemicals.
• Even if the membrane gets mechanically damaged, it can be
easily repaired locally within minutes.
• Does not need the use of open flames (torch) during application.
• No low-cost bitumen extenders present in the product
• Over 15 years of positive feedback worldwide.
Uses Consumption
1,2 – 1,5 kg/m2 applied in two or three layers.
This coverage is based on application by roller onto a smooth
surface in optimum conditions. Factors like surface porosity,
temperature and application method can alter consumption.
Colors
Waterproofing of Wet Areas (under-tile application) in:
• Bathrooms,
• Kitchens,
• Balconies,
• Auxiliary Rooms, etc
The MARISEAL® 270 is supplied in white, grey and black.
Other colors may be supplied on demand.

Application
Surface Preparation
Careful surface preparation is essential for optimum finish and durability.
The surface needs to be clean, dry and sound, free of any contamination, which may harmfully affect the adhesion of the membrane.
Maximum moisture content should not exceed 5%. Substrate compressive strength should be at least 25MPa, cohesive bond
strength at least 1.5MPa. New concrete structures need to dry for at least 28 days. Old, loose coatings, dirt, fats, oils, organic
substances and dust need to be removed by a grinding machine. Possible surface irregularities need to be smoothened. Any loose
surface pieces and grinding dust need to be thoroughly removed.
WARNING: Do not wash surface with water!
Repair of cracks and joints:
The careful sealing of existing cracks and joints before the application is extremely important for long lasting waterproofing results.
• Clean concrete cracks and hairline cracks, of dust, residue or other contamination. Prime locally with the MARISEAL® 710
Primer and allow 2-3 hours to dry. Fill all prepared cracks with MARIFLEX® PU 30 sealant. Then apply a layer of MARISEAL®
270, 200mm wide centered over all cracks and while wet, cover with a correct cut stripe of the MARISEAL® FABRIC. Press it to
soak. Then saturate the MARISEAL® FABRIC with enough MARISEAL® 270, until it is fully covered. Allow 12 hours to cure.
• Clean concrete expansion joints and control joints of dust, residue or other contamination. Widen and deepen joints (cut open) if
necessary. The prepared movement joint should have a depth of 10-15 mm. The width:depth ratio of the movement joint should
be at a rate of approx. 2:1.
Apply some MARIFLEX® PU 30 Joint-Sealant on the bottom of the joint only. Then with a brush, apply a stripe layer of
MARISEAL® 270, 200mm wide centered over and inside the joint. Place the MARISEAL® FABRIC over the wet coating and with a
suitable tool, press it deep inside the joint, until it is soaked and the joint is fully covered from the inside. Then fully saturate the
FABRIC with enough MARISEAL® 270. Then place a polyethylene cord of the correct dimensions inside the joint and press it
deep inside onto the saturated FABRIC. Fill the remaining free space of the joint with MARIFLEX® PU 30 sealant. Do not cover.
Allow 12-18 hours to cure.
Priming
Prime very absorbent and brittle concrete or brittle cement screed surfaces with MARISEAL® 710 or with MARISEAL® AQUA
PRIMER. Prime surfaces like bitumen-, asphaltfelts with MARISEAL® 730 or with MARISEAL® AQUA PRIMER. Prime non-absorbent
surfaces like metal, ceramic tiles and old coatings with MARISEAL® AQUA PRIMER. Allow the primer to cure according its technical
instruction. On sound, high quality concrete surfaces no primer is necessary.
Waterproofing membrane
Stir well before using. Poor the MARISEAL® 270 onto the primed / prepared surface and lay it out by roller or brush, until all surface is
covered. After 12-18 hours (not later than 48 hours) apply another layer of the MARISEAL®270. For demanding applications, apply a
third layer of the MARISEAL®270.
If the MARISEAL® 270 is to be covered with ceramic tiles, fully saturate with oven-dry silica sand (corn-size 0,4-0,8mm) the last
layer while still wet. This saturation will create an adhesion bridge to the tile adhesive that will follow.
Reinforce always with the MARISEAL® FABRIC at problem areas, like wall-floor connections, 90o angles, chimneys, pipes,
waterspouts (siphon), etc. In order to do that, apply on the still wet MARISEAL® 270 a correct cut piece of MARISEAL® FABRIC,
press it to soak, and saturate again with enough MARISEAL® 270. For detailed application instructions with the MARISEAL® FABRIC,
contact our R+D department.
ATTENTION: Do not apply the MARISEAL® 270 over 0.5 mm thickness (dry film) per layer. For best results, the
temperature during application and cure should be between 5oC and 35oC. Low temperatures retard cure while high
temperature speed up curing. High humidity may affect the final finish. We recommend reinforcement of the entire surface,
with the MARISEAL® FABRIC. Use 5-10cm stripe overlapping.
WARNING: The MARISEAL® 270 is slippery when wet. In order to avoid slipperiness, sprinkle suitable aggregates onto the still wet
coating to create an anti-slip surface. Please contact our R+D Dept. for more details.
