Fosroc Proofex Engage
Pre-applied waterproofing membrane that mechanically bonds to poured concrete, remaining in place if settlement of substrate occurs.
Proofex Engage is a unique patented waterproof membrane system comprising a cell mesh bonded to a blended polyethylene/polypropylene membrane which allows poured concrete to interlock, forming a tenacious mechanical bond. Proofex Engage provides water, water vapour and gas protection to water excluding structures and protects concrete from aggressive ground salts, chemicals and hydrocarbons. Proofex Engage is supplied with a self-adhesive selvedge along one side of the roll to provide sealed laps and a comprehensive range of auxiliary products to simplify the application process.
Uses
