Substrates

-

Pointing and filling mortar

IGW Mortar.

Guidance for specification option:

A waterproofing admixture used to provide Type B watertight concrete protection in accordance with BS 8102:2022. 


  • Crystalline growth provides continuous protection for the lifetime of the concrete structure.
  • Reduces water penetration with less permeability when compared to an equivalent plain concrete.
  • Enhanced resistance to reinforcement corrosion when compared with an equivalent plain concrete.
  • More durable than an equivalent plain concrete.
  • Available in a tub consisting of six 4.1 kg soluble bags and used in the ratio of 1:1 i.e. one 4.1 kg bag for each 1 m³ of concrete.

Primer

Visqueen HP Tanking Primer.

Guidance for specification option:

A bituminous primer for surfaces prior to the application of membranes products.


  • It improves the bond of self adhesives and torch applied damp proofing and tanking membranes and helps to ensure a long-term watertight finish.
  • It will dry in 1–5 hours depending upon temperature, surface porosity and ventilation.
  • Suitable for application in low temperatures.
  • Highly penetrative formulation.
  • Significantly improves bond of torch applied and self adhesive membranes.
  • Quick and easy to apply with brush or roller.
  • Supplied in 5 L tins.

Tanking membranes

-

Waterproof sheets

Visqueen Self Adhesive Membrane.

Guidance for specification option:

A self-adhesive waterproofing system.


  • BBA certified - third party accreditation.
  • Type A Barrier Membrane (Tanking Membrane) - resistant to ground water in accordance with BS 8102:2022.
  • Flexible - easy to detail and install on site.
  • Multi functional - also acts as a radon and damp proof membrane

Protection

-

Horizontal protection

Visqueen Protect&Drain.

Guidance for specification option:

A geocomposite void former comprising a cuspate high density polyethylene (PE-HD) core bonded to a nonwoven polypropylene geotextile filter membrane.


  • Acts as a heavy duty protection medium for Visqueen damp proofing, gas proofing and tanking membranes. In addition, when used in external tanking applications, the product forms a void to collect and transmit water into adjacent drainage outlets or collector pipes.
  • Acts as a combined protection layer and drainage layer.
  • Range of thicknesses available which provides options for water flow capacity.
  • Large format rolls mean rapid installation.
  • High compressive strength.
  • 25000 mm length.
  • 900 mm, 970 mm, 1000 mm widths.
  • 6 mm, 12 mm, 25 mm heights.
  • Rectangular.
