Liquid applied DPM that replaces plastic membranes with one seamless, crack bridging waterproof coat. VOC free, radon tested, roller or brush applied on floors, foundations and wet rooms.
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:
Cracks and surface defects shall be repaired prior to application.
Sharp edges and protrusions shall be removed.
Environmental Conditions
Application Method
Particular attention shall be given to:
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:
The completed installation shall provide a continuous damp-proof and waterproof barrier ready to receive final finishes.
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.
