AVM System 500
AVM Aussie Membrane 500 is a single-component, water-based rubber/bitumen liquid membrane modified with high-performance rubberized polymers. It dries to a tough, black, seamless, and flexible waterproof membrane. This thixotropic, cold-applied bitumen paste exhibits excellent elongation and recovery properties, ensuring long-term stability and resistance to cracking or becoming brittle over time.
Where to Use
- Retaining walls
- Planters and landscaping features
- In-between slab waterproofing (e.g., between concrete slabs or over wood decks receiving a topping slab)
- Dampproofing
- Under-tile membranes where a mud-bed or thick-set type assembly is required
Key Features
- Seamless Waterproofing — Dries to a tough, black, seamless, and flexible membrane, providing continuous protection without joints or seams.
- Excellent Elongation and Recovery — Exhibits high elongation and recovery properties, accommodating structural movements without compromising integrity.
- Long-Term Stability — Maintains its properties over extended periods, unlike other below-grade systems that may crack or become brittle as they age.
- Cost-Effective System — Provides long-term waterproofing protection at a competitive price.
