Newton 108 HydroBond-LM (HBLM)

Newton 108 HydroBond-LM is a highly radon resistant, cold spray-applied, seamless, rubber waterproofing membrane for the external waterproofing of basements and foundation walls. Normally specified as part of the HydroBond® System in conjunction with Newton 403 HydroBond. The membrane can however also be used on its own, terminating to raft or strip foundations.

It is extremely puncture resistant, with a high elasticity and a 95% recovery memory. The membrane becomes fully engaged into the concrete surface to prevent water tracking and is suitable for all below ground and earth-retained structures, ranging from domestic basements to the largest civil engineering projects.

Newton 108 HydroBond-LM can be used together with Newton 403 HydroBond to provide a complete waterproof envelope to the structure, forming a Type A (barrier) waterproofing solution suitable for Grades 1, 2 and 3 as defined by BS 8102: 2009.

Surface preparation is required, as is protection after application - consult manufacturer for details.

Features and benefits:

• Accepted by the NHBC as a suitable waterproofing system for Type A waterproofing to grades 1, 2 and 3 - BS 8102: 2009.

• Fully-bonded seamless membrane.

• Very flexible, easily dealing with movement and settlement.

• Cost effective.

• No shrinkage.

• Can be applied in cooler and damper conditions, and without a primer.

• Very quick to apply – 1000 m² per day (maximum).

• Solvent free, non-toxic and odourless.

• Non-flammable and no volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

• Chemically resistant.

• Suitable substrates include concrete of at least 20 kN, concrete block walls with flush pointing, screed, and insulated formwork walls (ICF).

• CE marked, and manufactured in accordance with EN 15814: 2011+A2: 2014.

• Where the membrane is exposed to UV and weathering, the life expectancy is 10 years.

Applications:

• Waterproofing and radon protection of basement walls as part of the Newton HydroBond System.

• Standalone waterproofing membrane for basement, foundation and earth-retained walls.

Suitable surfaces:

• Walls (positive pressure).

• Covered and loaded decks (positive pressure).

Can only be sprayed with a specialist spray machine - consult manufacturer for details.
