Barrier aqua bitumen
5 L
Rubberised bitumen waterproofing system
Barrier aqua bitumen is a polymer modified anionic bitumen emulsion, which is used to impregnate a suitable geofabric thus forming a continuous waterproofing membrane.
Barrier aqua bitumen can be used on all roof details (flat or pitched), fish ponds, water – features, water retaining structures and foundation walls.
Once completely dry the product becomes highly resistant to swelling or re-emulsification, a problem associated with other water based systems.
