Description
Ardex WPM 195 & WPM 196 are high performance Styrene-Butadine-Styrene (sbs) bituminous compounds modified with adhesive elastoplastomeric polymers. They are torch applied tanking membranes. WPM 196 has a slate mineral chip finish for high adhesion to concrete; WPM 195 does not have this finish.
Ardex WPM 195 & WPM 196 are used as single or multi-layered membranes in horizontal or vertical applications for waterproofing for below ground tanking. They are primarily applied to the outside of a sub-structure of a building, such as a foundation or basement to resist hydrostatic water pressure and prevent water ingress. Other forms of tanking where these products can be used include under floor slabs, behind masonry walls, the lining of substrates of in situ or precast concrete; retaining walls, lift shafts, tunnels and living roofs.
