1. THE BEST WATERPROOFING &
WEATHER PROTECTION
SMAC® ALL AROUND PROTECTION
Based on Multi-ceramic & Nano
Technology

2. PROTECTION OF CONCRETE
STRUCTURES
Protection of modern concrete
structures is the most serious problem
being faced by all the stake holders in
the industry, worldwide. Most of the
solutions devised, can offer protection
within certain limits: applicable both to
the treatment & the structure.

3. These limitations mainly constitute the physical &
in some cases, chemical stability parameters of the
structure and the treatment applied to it. The long
term durability of the treatment applied is a
function of these attributes of the treatment and
the substrate on which it has been applied. It must
be borne in mind that, good workmanship & good
quality of all the materials are of paramount
importance and any subsequent treatment can’t
be a sure remedy to cure the problems arising due
to lack of them.

4. Structure Parameters
The important attributes for a structure for
devising a good protective treatment can be
summarized as given below:
 Integrity of the structural element to be treated:
Distorted/flaked/damaged
 Stability of the structural system
 Probable dimensional variations in the element to
be treated: Expansion/contraction

5.  Type of the structure element : Temporary/Long
Term
 Service conditions anticipated:
Immersed/Dry/Indoor/Outdoor/Mixed/ Chemical
Resistance/Abrasion Resistance /Damp
Some other site specific parameters may also be
required to be considered, if the situation so
warrants. For example: Additional service like
Temperature Insulation, required.

6. Treatment Parameters
The important attributes of the proposed
treatment under consideration for prolonged
service can be summarized as below:
 Type of protection required: Long term/short term:
Simple/Complex treatment
 Temperature variations in the structural system:
Flexible/Rigid treatment
 Joints in the structure like construction and/or
expansion type: Sealant application

7.  Nature of substrate: Concrete/Plaster/Brick or
Stone Masonry compatibility.
 Level of the structure with respect to GL:
+ve/-ve side application, water head.
 Service conditions anticipated:
Immersed/Dry/Indoor/Outdoor/Mixed/ Chemical
Resistance/Abrasion Resistance
Some other site specific conditions may be
required to be considered, like subsequent
decorative treatment application & Heat
insulation.

8. Treatments Available
Commercially available treatments for a structure
are mainly classified into following distinct types:
 Various coatings like Epoxies, Polyurethanes,
Acrylics, Silicones, Silanes, Siloxanes, Rubberised
coatings etc.
 Membrane treatments like felts, plastic meshes,
fiber glass reinforcement etc embedded in various
coating materials mentioned above.

9.  Water repellent treatments like Silicones, Silanes,
Siloxanes etc.
 Penetrating sealers like Crystalline waterproofing
systems.
 Sealants like Poly Sulphides, Acrylics,
Polyurethanes, Silicones, Epoxies etc.
 Fast setting plugging compounds
 Integral mixing compounds based on various
chemical compositions (Ready-mix mortars are
based on this concept)

10. Salient Features of Various Treatments
The treatments available in the market can be
broadly divided into two basic types:
A. Rigid type treatments
B. Flexible type treatments
Rigid type treatments can’t withstand subsequent
stresses in the substrate & crack with it. Epoxies,
Conventional cementitious renders, Penetrants,
Cement based Acrylic coatings are all rigid type
treatments.

11. Rigid treatments are chosen for the structural
elements, for which service conditions are stable
in respect of fatigue & temperature. For example:
small slabs, WC areas, sub-soil structures & water
reservoirs. These are also the choice for good
wear/abrasion & chemical resistance during
service life.
Flexible treatments are the choice when the
substrates are open to atmospheric vagaries and
when the fatigue & temperature variations are
anticipated during service tenure of the treatment.

12. Flexible treatments can take care of future
deformation, when applied with proper choice &
prior consultation with a Waterproofing &
Construction Chemicals Consultant. Silicones,
Silanes, Siloxanes, Polyurethanes, Rubbererized
coatings, Acrylics, Tar & Bitumen & Membranes
are the flexible treatments. The degree of elasticity
varies considerably among them & a choice is to
be made depending upon the structure to be
treated.

13. It must be noted, that these treatments can take
care of minor variations only and major variations,
if anticipated, must be resolved at the design &
construction stage itself.
Further, no single treatment can be a single
remedy of all the anticipated problems. A judicious
combination of multiple choices result in a sound
structure protection for an extended period of
time.

14. Other major consideration is the UV stability &
Toxicity. Many Epoxies, Tar, Bitumen require a
protective render to protect them from UV
radiation. Similarly, some treatments can perform
from –ve side of the water pressure also, while
others can’t. Only Crystalline Penetrating Sealers
are effective from –ve pressure side.

15. Prime Consideration For Selection
For a good protective treatment to be effective
over a long period of time, some important
aspects to be considered while finalization are as
below:
 Prime functions required to be performed by the
protective treatment.
 Additional functions required to be performed by
the protective treatment
 Financial constraints/implications

16. First, a good protective treatment performs the
primary functions like Waterproofing
/Weatherproofing /Chemical Protection etc
efficiently, in the existing environment of the site.
By this, we mean that it has required attributes
like elasticity, abrasion resistance, UV resistance,
ease of application etc suitable for that particular
structure, to the extent practically possible.

17. Second, additional functions such as:
 Water drainage
 -ve side application
 Thermal insulation
 Aesthetic appearance
 Maintenance in future etc
Must also be considered.

18. Lastly, the most important aspect of financial
considerations comes into picture.
The rates come last in the hierarchy, as we must
first consider the functional efficacy of the
treatment. Then, to achieve the required correct
performance, we should proceed for the most
economical treatment.
Remember: Quality never comes cheap. The right
quality at an appropriate cost is the key to success.

19. THE SMAC® PROTECTION
The SMAC® all purpose protection was developed
by SM Adhesives, Mumbai, keeping in mind the
Indian weather conditions as well as all the
constraints mentioned previously. It encompasses
most of the desirable attributes required in Indian
weather conditions. It is based on Multi-ceramic &
Nano technology, which produces a unique
protective effect.

20. About SM Adhesives
SM Adhesives was founded by Mr. Atul Awade, an
entrepreneur, in 1998. Mr. Awade completed his
graduation in Chemical Engineering in 1994. He
was with Hyundai Heavy Industries as Project
Head for an industrial project. He handled the
responsibilities of Civil as well as Mechanical part
of the project. He started SM Adhesives with
products like Waterproofing & Anti-corrosive
coatings.

21. SM Adhesives has grown at about 15%
cumulatively, since then, on y-o-y basis. We have
developed a revolutionary concept in the field of
Structural Protection: SMAC® All Purpose Protection.
It is a concept encompassing most of the protective
requirements. It relieves the construction
professionals of multiple & complicated protective
installations. Further, by being installed by factory
trained personnel, it offers best quality.
The important point: It eliminates conventional BB
coba type treatments & saves environment by
conserving precious scarce natural resources.

22. OUR PHILOSOPHY
At SM Adhesives, we follow 6 S approach:
 Sound Technology
 Service Excellence
 Superior Quality
 Selfless Devotion to Clients
 Strong Long Term Relationships
 Sagacious Business & Environment
Approach

23. What is SMAC® Protection?
SMAC® has four courses installed over the
substrate. Each course serves specific & distinct
function. The courses are:
 SMAC® Bondcrete HR Penetrating & Heat
Insulation Base coat
 SMAC® UV stabilised Polypropylene Membrane
 SMAC® Elastobond Elastomeric Heat Reflective
Coat
 SMAC® Polyurethane Screed Top Coat

24. SMAC® Bondcrete HR is a liquid formulation which
is an organic polymer fortified by Multi-ceramic &
Nano Technology. It has penetrating ability in the
substrate to seal the capillaries. It also provides
heat insulation effect because of SMAC® Therm
technology.
SMAC® UV stabilised Polypropylene membrane is
the reinforcement, which is manufactured with
special care to withstand Ultra Violet
embrittlement effectively. It resists
expansion/contraction stresses & consequent
cracking of the treatment.

25. SMAC® Elastobond is again a liquid formulation
incorporating the above mentioned properties, but
also has good elastic nature to withstand cracking.
SMAC® PU screed is the top coat having hard,
wear resistant aggregates in Polyurethane matrix.
This coat takes care of the normal wear & tear due
to foot traffic during the service life of the
treatment.

26. SMAC® MULTI-CERAMIC & NANO TECHNOLOGY
SMAC® Multi-ceramic & Nano Technology is the
result of continuous research to homogenize all
the treatment elements to act in unison to work in
tandem. This is essential to produce all the desired
protection simulteniously.
The ceramic nano particles are dispersed in the
liquid polymer phase. These ceramic particles are
inert in nature & are hollow.

27. Polymer nano particles are also there in the liquid
phase.
After application of SMAC® protection, polymer
nano particles penetrate through the substrate
micro cracks & fill them. Further, they react with
the ceramic nano particles to form a cross-linked
stable & elastic phase. The technology ensures
that the ceramic particles float on the top & also
cover the bottom layer of the treatment.
