Newton 503 M5 - Waterproofing membrane

High quality cavity drain waterproofing membrane, available in two variants.

Newton 503 is inert and non-polluting to drinking water, highly resistant to water, alkalis, saline solutions and organic acids, and not affected by minerals and hydro-carbons, and is resistant to bacteria, fungi and other small organisms. Newton 503 also exhibits high compressive loading stability.

Consult manufacturer's literature for relevant preparation and surface protection.

Features and benefits:

• Used within Newton System 500, the internally applied waterproofing system that includes Newton drainage and pumping systems.

• Does not require extensive and damaging preparation to the wall surface.

• Quick installation.

• Provides vapour control, and when used with humidity control systems, is capable of delivering an environment to all levels within a Grade 3 environment to BS 8102: 2009.

• Resistant to chemically aggressive groundwater, efflorescing salts and hydrocarbon contamination.

• Rot-proof and resistant to root penetration.

• Shallow stud profile means the membrane is suitable for use in areas with minimal available space.

• Guaranteed against deterioration for 30 years, and has a life expectancy of at least 50 years (has a service life that can be equal to the design life of the structure).

Applications:

• Newton 503 (M5): For use on walls, vaulted and sloping soffits, and floors.

• Newton 503 Mesh (M11): For receiving plaster or render to walls.
