Product Information

Full details

Intelligent Membranes Waterproof Blue is designed for contractors and DIY professionals looking for a high-performance, seamless liquid membrane to replace traditional plastic DPCs and DPMs. It offers a robust, airtight, and watertight barrier for floors, walls, and wet rooms, effectively preventing moisture and radon gas ingress. While it provides superior crack-bridging and ease of application, users should note that the drying time can vary based on ambient humidity and temperature, requiring careful planning for multi-coat applications.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this product in a shower area?

Yes, it is highly suitable for wet rooms and bathrooms as it creates a waterproof barrier behind tiling.

Do I need to use corner tapes with this membrane?

No, because the product is liquid-applied and highly flexible, it creates a seamless seal in corners without the need for additional reinforcement tapes.

Is Waterproof Blue effective against radon?

Yes, it provides an effective barrier against radon gas transmission, making it suitable for buildings in areas with known radon risks.

How do I know if I have applied enough?

The product is designed to be blue, which helps in identifying any areas that have been missed during the application process.

Can this be applied to damp concrete?

While the surface can be slightly damp, it should not be soaking wet or showing signs of standing water. Ensure the surface is generally dry for the best bond.

Can I paint over the membrane?

It is primarily designed to be a DPM layer, usually followed by tiling or screeding. Consult specific adhesive manufacturer guidelines if bonding directly to the membrane.

Troubleshooting

Membrane is taking longer than expected to dry

High humidity or low temperatures significantly slow down the curing process. Use a dehumidifier or improve ventilation in the room.

Poor adhesion to the substrate

Ensure the surface was completely cleaned of dust and oils before application. If the surface is dusty, apply a suitable stabilizing primer first.

Visible gaps or thin spots after drying

Apply an additional coat, ensuring that you overlap strokes properly to maintain a uniform thickness across the entire area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for complicated corner sealing
  • VOC-free and low-odor water-based formula
  • Excellent adhesion to various masonry surfaces
  • UV resistant for increased longevity
  • Fast and efficient roller-applied process

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal bonding
  • Drying time is dependent on environmental conditions
  • Not suitable for areas with constant hydrostatic water pressure (submerged conditions)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of loose debris, dust, or oily residues. Use a stiff brush to remove any contaminants. If the surface is highly porous, a primer may be required to ensure maximum adhesion. Apply the product using a standard medium-pile roller or a high-quality brush. For most applications, two coats are recommended to ensure full coverage and the required dry film thickness. Once applied, clean all tools immediately with warm water before the product cures. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the liquid from drying out in the bucket.
