Equus Soprema Colphene BSW Tanking system is a fully reinforced membrane system designed for underground, below slab horizontal, and vertical external blind side waterproofing applications. With its unique design, it can be used in high density areas near buildings that limit access and excavation.
Colphene membranes are high-performance waterproofing membranes composed of reinforced, SBS modified bitumen. The upper surface is coated with crystals that specifically adhere to the concrete slab when freshly poured against the membrane. This adhesion with the concrete creates a watertight bond preventing water infiltration to the concrete.
The complete system includes swellable waterstops, and a drainage and protection layer laid between the membrane and the earth. This provides an extra layer of protection, extending the life of the membrane. Horizontal or vertical insulation can also be added to the system for increased thermal efficiency to the building.
Designed for underground waterproofing with specific products for horizontal or vertical applications. While suitable for a range of underground waterproofing situations, it provides robust tanking to protect areas against a high risk of hydrostatic water pressure.
Solutions can be provided for buildings of all sizes and requirements including pre-applied loose laid under-slab, pre-applied to vertical walls, external blind side waterproofing or post applied to vertical walls with options for torch-on or self-adhesion.
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.
