Where ACTFLEX 600 is used
Use it for
- Bonding primer under ACTFLEX 906 WPU water-based polyurethane membrane
- New and aged concrete
- Rendered surfaces and masonry
- Compressed fibrous cement sheeting
- Precast panels and smooth factory-finished surfaces
- Existing waterproofing layers, for intercoat bonding in repairs
Know before you start
- Not a membrane or moisture barrier: for moisture control specify ACTFLEX EP250 or MB200
- Not UV stable: overcoat with ACTFLEX 906 WPU and never leave it exposed
- Not for ACTFLEX 929 SL or 929 HV systems: use ACTFLEX 700 PU PRIMER
- One coat only. Not below 10°C or above 26°C, and not over damp substrates
How to apply ACTFLEX 600
- 01
Prepare
Remove dust, dirt, oil, grease, wax and loose contaminants. Grind or abrade off old coatings, laitance and weak layers. Repair cracks and holes with FORBUILD 100 or FORCRETE 100, cured and flush.
- 02
Check
Surface must be dry, stable and sound. Wipe non-porous surfaces with solvent or degreaser. Do a small adhesion test on critical surfaces where required. Vacuum off fine dust.
- 03
Stir
Stir thoroughly but gently, do not whip in air. Keep ventilation running and exclude all ignition sources. Do not dilute unless FORSPEC approves in writing.
- 04
Apply
ONE even coat by roller, brush or approved spray at 4–6 m² per litre for 50–100 microns dry film. Cover all edges, junctions and transitions. Avoid puddling.
- 05
Cure
Touch dry in about 20 minutes and fully cured in 6 hours at 25°C and 50% RH. Do not leave it exposed, it is not UV stable.
- 06
Overcoat
Apply ACTFLEX 906 WPU once touch dry, within the same working session. Use all contents the same day: opened product skins and gels.

ACTFLEX 600 questions
Which membrane does ACTFLEX 600 PRIMER go under?
ACTFLEX 906 WPU, the water-based polyurethane membrane. For the solvent-based ACTFLEX 929 SL and 929 HV systems, specify ACTFLEX 700 PU PRIMER.
How many coats do I apply?
One coat only, at 4–6 m² per litre, for 50–100 microns dry film.
How long before I can apply ACTFLEX 906 WPU?
Once the primer is touch dry (about 20 minutes at 25°C and 50% RH), within the same working session. The TDS gives 3 hours to waterproof and 6 hours to full cure.
How much do I need?
About 4–6 m² per litre. A 4 L pack covers about 16–24 m² and a 17 L pack about 68–102 m².
Can I leave the primer exposed?
No. It is not UV stable. It must be overcoated with ACTFLEX 906 WPU and never left exposed.
Can I save part of a tin for tomorrow?
No. Use all the contents the same day. It is moisture-cured and will skin and gel in a part-used container.
