Ames® Research BMX5RG Regular Grade Blue Max™ Liquid Rubber, 5 Gallon

Waterproofs roofs, walls, roof decks, concrete, ICF, basements, bearing walls, concrete roofs and pipes. A special blend of adhesive, high strength elastomeric liquid rubber. It is a new, impenetrable, rubber technology for waterproofing in extreme wet situations such as below grade foundations, basement walls, and cisterns. It is high in solids and dries to a tough 800% elastic membrane that resists cracking and peeling. Blue Max remains flexible from -30° to 150° F. Ames' Blue Max is impervious to water when applied in a uniform and seamless fashion with adequate millage. It flows into cracks and crevices as a liquid and sets up as a durable rubber to seal leaks wherever they occur.

Where to Use:

• Use Ames’® Blue Max™ on Basements, Cellars, Foundations, Below Grade Walls, and Cisterns. Ames’® Blue Max is also an excellent coating for ICF (insulated concrete forms), as well as Metal, Wood, Concrete, and many other applications. The adhesive qualities in Ames’® Blue Max actually glues surfaces together and strengthens wall construction. Ames’® Blue Max outperforms isocyanate urethanes, and works well as a primer and waterproofing membrane for Ames’ products such as Ames’® Safe-T-Deck™, Ames’® Snow Seal®, Ames’® Maximum-Stretch™, Ames’® Block & Wall™, Ames’® Iron Coat™ and many other coatings. Ames’® Blue Max must be top coated for UV protection in exterior applications.

Preparation:

• Ames’® Be sure surfaces are clean and dry before the coating application. Read all label instructions before beginning. Always run a test patch first in an inconspicuous area to ensure that proper adhesion and drying occurs and the product works to your satisfaction. Caulk all cracks greater than 1/8" wide with Ames' Blue Max trowel-grade. Surfaces with joints, cracks, or where two unlike surfaces come together, require Ames'® Peel & Stick Seam Tape (PS250, PS450 or PS650) to provide some additional strength and reinforcement. Prime all surfaces generously with Ames' Blue Max prior to setting the Seam Tape in place. Apply a liberal topcoat of Ames' Blue Max over the Seam Tape and allow to cure. Ames' Blue Max does not need a primer.

General Application:

• These are general application guidelines. Various factors including climate, condition and age of the surface factor into the application technique. The surface must be clean, dry, and free of loose material. Fill all joints or cracks wider than 1/8 inch with Ames'® Blue Max Trowel- Grade. It is important to seam tape all joints and cracks to avoid future cracking and leaking. Ames' Blue Max may be brushed, rolled or sprayed. We recommend three gallons per 100 square feet for water containment. The application must be applied in a continuous, unbroken seal of a minimum dry thickness of no less than 30 mils (the thickness of a dime).

Clean-up, Storage, and Disposal:

• Clean tools and small spills with water. Store unused product in its original container, tightly sealed and protected from freezing. Dispose of this product in accordance with local, state, or federal requirements
