It is also used as protective coating on surfaces such as concrete, logs, cement rendering, metal, etc. The end coating of logs and sawn timber can prevent end splitting. Its protective coating can seal up cool storage rooms from vapour emission and air-conditioning ducting insulation. Uses It provides a seamless finish and better water and vapour proof onto all types of concrete and masonry surfaces. It can be used as a concealed waterproofing application: • New R.C Roof & Re-proofing • Basements slab and wall • Ground water insulation / Wet rooms • Foundation / Bridge abutment or pier • Damp proof sandwich membrane in concrete

floors • Vapour barrier to cladding panels • Retaining wall and tunnel

Advantages • Ease of application directly from container • Flexible and durable • Highly durable in all climatic conditions • Non toxic • Non-drip thiotropic paste • Permanent flexibility • Free of solvent/ Non flammable • Resistant to sulphate and groud salts
