Equus Soprema Colphene 3000 Tanking Membrane
Description

Equus Soprema Colphene 3000 is a self-adhesive tanking membrane designed for foundation walls and other below grade vertical surfaces.
It can be used on concrete & masonry substrates making it an economical solution for underground waterproofing in areas of low risk of hydrostatic pressure up to 3m deep.

The membrane is composed of a SBS modified bitumen with a tri-laminated woven polyethylene facer. It is extremely flexible, easy to handle, and fits easily around the sharp contours and angles of concrete footings and foundations.

The complete system also includes a drainage and protection mat laid between the membrane and the earth which is secured in place by a specifically designed termination bar. This provides an extra layer of protection, extending the life of the membrane.
