conditions, this is not detrimental to the waterproofing qualities of the
product.

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION
▶ Clear all areas of moss, lichen and debris by brushing or power washing and
remove surface water and any contamination such as Oil or Grease and allow to
dry. Apply Polar Moss Remover to prevent further fungal/algal growth.
Most roofing substrates to be treated will not normally require priming.
▶ To the dry and cleaned surface, apply a generous coat of Polar FeltSeal by
brush or squeegee, at the minimum specified spreading rate as stated above
under the heading.
Application Temperature should be between 5°C-25°C.
SUBSTRATE TYPES
Highly porous/friable surfaces
▶ Concrete, Concrete and Asbestos Cladding, Sheeting and Guttering should be
primed prior to overcoating.
Metal Surfaces
▶ Ferrous-New, Weathered and previously painted galvanised iron and steel.
▶ Non-Ferrous Metals – Aluminium sheeting & Aluminium Alloy Box gutters and
previously painted non-Ferrous Metals.
All these areas should be suitably prepared and primed as appropriate before
application of FeltSeal.
Non-porous substrates
▶ Slate, Polished bricks should be power washed abraded and completely dry,
free from any contamination to achieve adhesion of FeltSeal.
Bitumen surfaces
▶ Discolouration may occur over a new asphalt, tar or bitumen surfaces;
therefore an extra coat may be required, for decorative purposes only. Aged
bitumen can be liable to crack, therefore further advice must be taken.
Previously painted or coated substrates
▶ It Is Good Practice To Inspect And Carry Out Adhesion Tests On Any Existing
Coating Or Substrate Prior To Application Of The Coating.
Splits, cracks, joints and seals, crazed areas
▶ Pay particular attention to clean out any splits/ cracks/joints and seals by
scraping or brushing off with a stiff bristle brush before applying the
FeltSeal. Repair all faults in the surface by using a proprietary filler.
Surface faults
▶ Repair all faults in the surface.
In areas where excessive movement may occur, additional reinforcement must be
incorporated into the coating.
IMPORTANT
Polar FeltSeal instantly weatherproofs a wide range of exposed surfaces. It is
water resistant and ideal for general maintenance and repair work.
▶ Where long-term waterproofing is required, Aquashield will provide an
effective barrier until a full system or more permanent solution can be
implemented.
▶ Polar FeltSeal is not recommended for the treatment of wooden surfaces,
tanking, fishponds or internal use.
▶ Air conditioning vents should be sealed for a minimum of 24 hours during and
after the application.
▶ This coating is only valid for applications in the UK.
▶ MINIMUM FINISHED FALL: when using this product it is important that a
minimum finished fall of 1:80 is achieved, as stated in BS 6229.2003 (Code of
Practice for the application of Liquid Applied Waterproofing Systems to flat
roofs with continuously supported coverings).
