Technical Description Multi-Dimensional,
Self-Adhering Waterproofing Membrane is composed of a unique combination of
materials consisting of a weathercoated, fortified asphaltic protection course layer
bonded to an asphalt-saturated carrier sheet which is bonded to a polymeric waterproofing
membrane with a release liner. The multi-layer membrane is flexible enough to conform to
concrete substrates that are reasonably smooth. It's tough enough to resist punctures and
tears during normal application and backfilling operations. It is light enough for easy
handling. Costly call backs are eliminated in order to replace lost or damaged foam
boards blown-off by the wind because backfilling wasn't done on schedule. With
membrane, backfilling can be done immediately. In fact, in high foundation wall
applications, backfill can be used as a natural scaffolding to reach the higher wall
surfaces. Contractors like the ease of handling the 4' x 8' (1.22 x 2.44m) board panel
size. Architects, engineers, and contractors are offered more cost-effective and
time-saving options for either vertical or horizontal membrane panel applications, even to
using Detail Strip to seal the top surface of foundation walls. The waterproofing products
has a W.V.T. (Water Vapor Transmission) rating of 0.015 gr./sq. ft./hr. (0.001395 gr./m2/hr.) which is significantly better than other "peel and
stick" self-adhering membranes. With membrane, no additional adhesives or separate
protections boards are required. As a result, workers spend less tike down in the hole and
use less materials to complete the job.
Uses
Multi-Dimensional, Self-Adhering Waterproofing Membrane provides a very cost-effective
method for waterproofing foundations and vertical walls and mid-level floors in
commercial, industrial, institutional, and residential construction. Combined with another
innovative product, Premoulded Membrane Vapor Seal with Plasmatic Core for on-grade
vaporproofing, the two products for a complete vapor/waterproofing protection system. A
third unique product, Air-shield Self-adhering Air Barrier and Flashing Membrane can be
added to form a trio designed to seal the building envelope for overall cost savings and
extended service life for the building wall and its components.
