Application

Waterproof Blue – Liquid Damp Proof Membrane (DPM)

Product Application – Waterproof Blue

General

Apply in accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions to form a continuous, seamless damp-proof and waterproof membrane.

The membrane shall be applied to create a monolithic barrier free from joints, laps or mechanical fixings.

Substrate Preparation

Substrates shall be:

  • Structurally sound
  • Clean and dust-free
  • Free from laitance, grease, oil or loose material
  • Dry or surface dry (no standing water)

Cracks and surface defects shall be repaired prior to application.

Sharp edges and protrusions shall be removed.

Environmental Conditions

  • Minimum application temperature: +5°C and rising
  • Do not apply to frozen substrates
  • Protect from rain or standing water until fully cured

Application Method

  • Ready to use – do not dilute
  • Stir thoroughly before application
  • Apply by roller or paint brush
  • Work evenly across the surface to achieve full, continuous coverage
  • Ensure complete coverage at corners, junctions and upstands

Particular attention shall be given to:

  • Floor-to-wall junctions
  • Internal corners
  • Pipe penetrations
  • Construction joints

Apply sufficient material to achieve a uniform, pinhole-free membrane.

Coats and Coverage

Apply in accordance with recommended coverage rates to achieve the required dry film thickness.

Where necessary, a second coat may be applied once the first coat is touch-dry to ensure full waterproof continuity.

Curing and Overcoating

Allow the membrane to cure fully before:

  • Installing screeds
  • Applying tile adhesives
  • Installing floor finishes
  • Subject to water exposure

The completed installation shall provide a continuous damp-proof and waterproof barrier ready to receive final finishes.

Description

Waterproof Blue is the liquid DPM that replaces plastic membranes, primers and corner tapes with one roller applied product. The polymer modified emulsion cures to a seamless, flexible, crack bridging membrane with no joints or weak points, staying elastic and bonded even as the structure moves.

Use it anywhere you would reach for a traditional DPM or DPC: foundation walls, concrete slabs and basement floors, block and beam floors, kicker block upstands, and bathrooms, wet rooms and concrete floors beneath tiles. It blocks vapour transmission, resists UV exposure and groundwater pressure, works on horizontal and vertical surfaces, and can be tiled over once fully cured. It is also tested for radon protection, adding underground gas defence to the build.

Water based and VOC free, Waterproof Blue is applied by roller or brush with no special equipment, making it as fast on retrofit jobs as on new builds. It is supplied in 10 kg tubs for roller application, with a 5 kg brush grade for details. For bathroom and wet room tanking see Poseidon, and for flat roofs The GOAT, both from Intelligent Membranes.
