CIM® 500
CIM® 500 is a tough, durable, waterproofing coating specifically formulated to meet the demands of waterproofing for buried, non-UV exposed, or below grade applications. This two-component, liquid applied urethane coating adheres to most materials to form a permanent, seamless barrier to water. It is especially well suited for plaza decks, areas with multiple penetrations and curbs, and between-slab waterproofing.

- Mixing
DO NOT THIN. DO NOT HAND MIX. Begin mixing each pail of CIM 500 Premix using a power mixer (e.g., 1/2" drill and an eight-inch mud mixer). Do not draw air into the mix. The premix and activator are packaged and supplied in the proper mix ratio. Failure to mix CIM 500 as provided will result in off-ratio or uncured coating. While mixing, slowly add one full jug of CIM 500 Activator to one full pail of CIM 500 Premix. Mix thoroughly for 3 full minutes. Mixing Jigs and Timers are available from C.I.M. Industries to help eliminate mixing errors and increase productivity on the job.

- PACKAGING
CIM 500 is available in 5-gallon ready to mix kits. Each kit consists of a container of premix and a smaller container of activator. The kits are supplied in the proper mix ratios with sufficient room in the premix container to facilitate adequate mixing.
- Advantages
Cold, liquid applied, self-leveling coating; Self-adheres to most materials used in construction; Easily applies to complex areas including penetrations and curbs; Durable; withstands foot traffic; Complies with the toughest VOC regulations; Self-flashing; saving time and materials at transitions
- Shelf LIfe
- 18 months (Activator), 2 years (Premix)
- Precaution
Avoid contamination with water or moisture. Keep all pails and jugs tightly closed until ready for use. All equipment, air supplies, and application substrates must be ABSOLUTELY DRY. Do not apply in wet weather or when the CIM 500 or substrate may become wet within 6 hours after application. Use caution when applying CIM 500 in confined spaces
