Adhesives

One-Step Trowel-On Membrane* is the latest in the energex® series of NextGen products. It is a patented* self-gauging trowel-on membrane that acts as both moisture/air barrier and adhesive. One-Step Trowel-On Membrane* produces a level surface of approximately 1.5 mm thickness of membrane and adhesive with standard hand trowel applications and allows simultaneous installation of drainage insulation. This feature makes waterproofing applications fast and easy, saving labor costs of 25% or more in efficient application of drainage insulation over vapor/air barrier membrane.

Uses	One Step Trowel On Membrane* is used as a trowel applied weather barrier/adhesive over Gypsum sheathing, Dens GlassGold / SECUROCK and sound unpainted exterior grade woodbased sheathings such as plywood and non-veneer boards. For use on other substrates, contact energex® for specific written approval. All Joints must be reinforced with a 4” wide strip of ENERMITE 2.5 mesh.
Surface Preparation	Surfaces shall not be below 45° F or painted and must be clean, dry, structurally sound and free of grease or oil. American Plywood Association guidelines must be followed to insure proper installation of the wood based sheathings.
Application	One Step Trowel On Membrane* should be applied directly to the substrate using a stainless steel trowel. Integrated orb technology gauges the coating thickness. By trowel tape the substrate joints with Enermite 2.5 Detail Mesh. Upon completion of joint taping, skim (using the integrated orbs as a gauge) the entire substrate field, making sure there are no voids or thin areas on the surface area. The One Step Trowel On Membrane* is tinted to help with this process. While the One Step is wet place the energex® EPS Foam into the coating in a running bond pattern as per the standard details. Allow 3-6 hours of cure time before rasping the foam boards.
Mixing	No mixing is required. Add NO Water!
Job Conditions	Temperature for application of One Step Trowel On Membrane* must be 45° For higher and must remain so for a minimum of 48 hours.
Storage	One-Step Trowel-On Membrane* must be stored at 45° F or above in tightly sealed containers out of direct sunlight.
Adhesive Use Notes:	One Step Trowel On Membrane* IS NOT SUITABLE for Bonding Isulation Board to Insulation Board
Drying Time	Drying time depends upon the air temperature relative humidity and the porosity of the sheathing. Under average drying conditions (70° F, 55% R.H.), One Step Trowel On Membrane* sets within 3 hours and achieves full cure in approximately seven days. Protect work from rain for at least 12 hours.
Working Time	After applying One Step Trowel On Membrane* to the substrate, the insulation board should be immediately attached to the substrate.
Bond Strength	For ASTM-D987: 50 psi (plywood/plywood substrate failure).
Water Vapor Transmission	Creates a water vapor barrier when installed according to application instructions.

Uses	EnerFast is used to adhere insulation board to an approved substrate and to embed reinforcing mesh as part of the base coat of the energex® System. The mixture can also be used as a skim coat to produce a smooth level surface on masonry or concrete.
Surface Preparation	Application is to energex® recommended substrates. Typically, these include exterior grade gypsum sheathing on either steel or wood studs, clean unpainted concrete, concrete block, brick and stucco. Masonry, concrete and brick substrates must be flat within 1/4" in any four foot radius. For other substrates, please contact the energex® representative. Surfaces must not be below 40° F or painted and must be clean, dry, structurally sound and free of efflorescence, grease, oil, form release agents and curing compounds.
Cautions and Limitations	Clean potable water must be added to adjust workability. DO NOT OVERWATER! Do not install EnerFast on the substrate using the notch trowel
Mixing	To a 50 lb. bag of EnerFast Powder Mix, add 1-1/2 gallons of water. Mix in a 5 gallon can with Jiffy Mixer for about 3 minutes until homogenous. Re-temper by adding a small amount of water to achieve the desired workability.
Job Conditions	Temperature for application of EnerFast must be 40° F or higher and must remain so for a minimum of 24 hours.
Storage	EnerFast must be stored at 40° F or above in tightly sealed containers out of direct sunlight.
Adhesive Application	Using a stainless steel trowel, install a ribbon of EnerFast 2" (51mm) wide wide by 3/8" (10mm) thick around the entire perimeter of the Insulation Board. Place eight dabs of EnerFast 3/8" (10mm) thick by 4' (102mm) in diameter approximately 8" (204mm) on center to the interior area. Alternatively, a notch trowel may be used to install the EnerFast on the entire back of the Insulation Board. The 2" (51 mm) wide by 3/8" (10mm) thick ribbon must be installed around the entire perimeter of the board. (CAUTION - Do not install EnerFast on the substrate using the notch trowel). Immediately place the Insulation Board on the substrate and slide into position. Do not allow the EnerFast to form a skin before positioning the Insulation Board on the substrate.
Embedding Application	Use a stainless steel trowel to apply EnerFast to the surface of the Insulation Board to a uniform thickness as recommended for the type of reinforcing mesh being installed. Immediately, place the reinforcing mesh against the wet EnerFast. The surface of the EnerFast is smoothed with a trowel until the reinforcing mesh is fully embedded. The pattern of the mesh must not be visible.
Temporary Protection	Shall be provided at all times until the base coat, finish, and permanent flashings, sealants, etc. are completed to protect the wall from weather and other damage.
Drying Time	The drying time of the EnerFast is dependent upon the air temperature and relative humidity. Under average drying conditions, (70 ° F, 55% RH), protect work from rain for at least 12 hours. EnerFast will set up in 2 hours under normal conditions.
