How Instant-Setting Cold Fluid Applied Waterproofing Systems Solve Problems  

This presentation will describe overcoming waterproofing challenges by utilizing a spray-applied, instant-setting membrane. Instant setting waterproofing assemblies provide a quick-curing technology with long-term stability beyond UV exposure; including resistance to impacts, scratches, punctures and provides a slip resistant, heavy construction traffic, and root barrier protection. Due to the robust nature and enhanced elongation and tensile strength, this technology allows for the waterproofing to be installed without fabric reinforcement and provides a durability that eliminates the need for a root barrier in vegetative roofing assemblies; creating certainty where traditional waterproofing assemblies are difficult to install due to complex design and construction requirements. Through this step-by-step presentation, you will understand how a spray-applied, instant-setting membrane may solve common installation obstacles and how to suit project-specific needs through proper specification and installation practices. Enjoy an engaged discussion, find out which system is right for your project, and ask project specific questions in the comfort of your office!
