Kerakoll SLC 3CW: Waterproof System for Non-Absorbent Substrates
What is Kerakoll SLC 3CW?
Kerakoll SLC 3CW is an organic, 3-component system specifically developed for waterproofing non-absorbent substrates with a high residual moisture content, up to a maximum of 5% C.M. This solution provides a reliable moisture barrier, which is essential for protecting parquet against residual moisture on substrates such as ceramics, marble, natural stone, and smooth screeds. Kerakoll SLC 3CW is easy to apply with a roller, ensuring an even distribution of the product and optimal results when laying parquet floors.
How does Kerakoll SLC 3CW work?
Kerakoll SLC 3CW consists of three components: a liquid paste (Part A), a transparent liquid (Part B), and an off-white powder (Component C). Before use, the components are mixed in the prescribed ratio of 2 kg Part A, 0.6 kg Part B, and 2.4 kg Component C. After mixing, the paste is diluted with 5-10% water for optimal application. The first layer is applied evenly with a roller or brush. After drying, a second layer is applied perpendicular to the first to create a continuous, uniform protective layer. The product has a pot life of approximately 1 hour, and the waiting time between layers ranges from 6 to 24 hours.
Benefits and Properties of Kerakoll SLC 3CW
Kerakoll SLC 3CW offers several key benefits for waterproofing substrates. The system is specifically designed for non-absorbent and compact absorbent substrates with a high residual moisture content. The product forms an effective moisture barrier that provides protection up to 5% residual moisture. Additionally, SLC 3CW is easy to apply with a roller, offers a long working time, and is quick and easy to clean with water. This makes the product suitable for civil and commercial indoor use, especially in situations where fast and effective waterproofing is required.
Instructions for Using Kerakoll SLC 3CW
Before use, the substrate must be stable, dry, clean, and free of dust and other contaminants. Shake Part A well before use, add Part B in the prescribed ratio, and mix thoroughly. Then add Component C and mix until a homogeneous paste is formed. Apply the first layer evenly with a roller or brush, wait until it is completely dry, and then apply a second layer perpendicular to the first. After curing, direct bonding with suitable 1- or 2-component adhesives can be performed. Avoid use on substrates with rising damp or in combination with underfloor heating.
Maintenance and Advice for Kerakoll SLC 3CW
After use, any residues of 3CW can be removed with water. Once the product has hardened, it can only be removed mechanically. To avoid adhesion problems, it is recommended to proceed with laying the floor within a few days after 3CW has cured. If longer waiting times are necessary, the still fresh layer of 3CW can be sprinkled with Quarzo 5.12. The product should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Refer to the safety data sheet for further details and always follow the applicable safety instructions.

FAQs
Kerakoll SLC 3CW is a 3-component organic system for waterproofing non-absorbent substrates with a high residual moisture content, up to 5% C.M. The product provides a moisture barrier to protect parquet from residual moisture and is suitable for laying parquet on non-absorbent and smooth, compact substrates.
3CW is suitable for waterproofing non-absorbent and absorbent smooth and compact substrates, such as floors made of ceramics, marble tiles, natural stone, and mechanically smoothed concrete floors. It is ideal for civil and commercial indoor use.
Mix Part A and B in the prescribed ratio with an electric mixer, then add Component C and mix to a homogeneous paste. Dilute the mixture with 5-10% water and apply the first layer with a brush or roller. After drying, apply a second layer perpendicular to the first to create a continuous, uniform layer.
The waiting time between layers is 6-24 hours. The total drying time before further operations can be carried out is 2-4 days, depending on the conditions at the job site.
No, 3CW is not suitable for waterproofing damp substrates with underfloor heating or for substrates sensitive to moisture.
3CW provides effective waterproofing for substrates with high residual moisture content, is easy to apply with a roller, and provides a secure base for laying parquet on various substrates.
Do not use 3CW on absorbent, dust-producing, or inconsistent substrates, anhydrite substrates, or substrates with rising damp. Ensure good ventilation during use and carefully follow safety instructions.
The consumption is approximately 500 g/m² per layer. The required amount depends on the size of the area and the absorbency of the substrate.
Kerakoll SLC 3CW has a shelf life of about 12 months in its original, unopened packaging and should be stored in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight.
