Equus Soprema Antirock Carpark Membrane

Scope of Use

Antirock is specifically designed for heavy-duty applications in civil engineering projects. It is ideal for use on car park decks, bridge decks, tunnels, and other critical infrastructure where robust waterproofing and durability are vital. Antirock is installed over a concrete substrate and adhered either by gas torch, or by using the specifically designed Soprema Mini-Macaden machine and is overlaid by asphalt. It is suitable for new builds and refurbishments, residential and commercial construction, in any location and wind zone in New Zealand. 

Suitable for other waterproofing applications with written approval by Equus Industries Ltd. 

Limitations on Use

The asphalt overlay must be installed within one week of the Antirock membrane installation minimum, and the thickness of the overlay shall be 40 mm after compaction for light vehicles, or 60 mm after compaction for heavy vehicles. The maximum temperature of the asphalt installation is 200°C.

The product must be installed by a Certified Equus Applicator. Verification of their status can be confirmed by a current applicator certificate or by contacting Equus Industries. Any installation must be done in accordance with the latest specifications and technical documentation, or with written approval by Equus Industries Ltd.
