AVM System 550G

Aussie Skin 550® is a heavy-duty, puncture-resistant sheet waterproofing membrane designed for easy installation. Enhanced with advanced technologies, it achieves strong adhesion to wet concrete or shotcrete. Upon curing, the membrane forms a fully bonded seal to the concrete surface, effectively preventing any potential water migration between the membrane and the substrate.

Where to Use

Retaining walls
Shotcrete walls
Basements
Under-slabs
Mud-slabs
Permanent formwork (e.g., lagging)
Existing back-filled structural walls
Smoothly prepared concrete substrates
Compacted earth or crushed stone substrates

Key Features

Permanent Bond to Concrete — Ensures a continuous waterproofing barrier by forming an integral bond with poured concrete.
Puncture Resistant — Durable HDPE layer withstands construction-related stresses and protects against damage.
Easy Installation — Designed for straightforward application, reducing labor time and costs.
Cost-Effective System — Provides long-term waterproofing protection at a competitive price.
