engineered to provide exceptional adhesive, elastic & waterproof properties.

• Spray or brush applied at ambient temperature.

• Cures into a seamless membrane – Waterproofing ability– Corrosion resistance– Chemical resistance – Encapsulation.

Liquid Rubber ideal to waterproof Retaining Walls

• Quick application

• Excellent flexibility for structural movement

• Flexibility allows bridge small hairline cracks

• Extreme adhesion to the substrate

• No Flames, Torches or Fumes

• Environmentally Friendly – no VOCs

Waterproof Preparation

• Aim is have substrate smooth, dry and free of contaminants.

• May require primers/patch work ensure surface as monolithic as possible.

• However difficult to fill all surface defects.

• Unfortunately many of these defects only show after waterproof membrane application.
