WATERPROOFING FEATURES

  • Seamless Low modulus elastomeric membrane.
  • Retains flexibility over a wide temperature range
  • Excellent adhesion to most construction surfaces such as concrete, stone, wood, preserved wood, metal, and polystyrene insulation (ICF).
  • Can be applied to damp or green concrete.
  • Bridges cracks
  • Contains no solvent and is environmentally friendly.
  • Can be applied in one coat or in multiple coats or in multiple coats with reinforcing fabric (CAN/CGSB-37.3).

USES

Used for waterproofing poured and block foundation walls, insulated concrete forms (ICF), footings, split slab floors, and retaining walls for residential construction.
