Waterproofing Bitumen Emulsion is an anionic water-based bitumen emulsion. It has an alkaline reaction and does not cause corrosion when applied to unprimed steel structures.
It can be applied in damp weather and to wet surfaces. Contains no organic solvents and is environmentally friendly.
Appointment
Waterproofing Bitumen Emulsion is used:
- for waterproofing concrete surfaces;
- for the installation and repair of roofing systems, including flexible roofing with reinforcing materials;
- for waterproofing metal and asbestos-cement roofing;
- for waterproofing concrete structures and building foundations as a priming and impregnating coat;
- for waterproofing wooden structures;
- for waterproofing swimming pools and sanitary facilities;
- for priming surfaces before the application of roll roofing and waterproofing materials.

Advantages
Compared with roll waterproofing materials, the bitumen emulsion offers the following advantages:
- forms a continuous, seamless waterproof coating;
- can be applied to surfaces with complex geometries;
- chemically inert and fire-safe;
- can be applied to wet surfaces;
- provides high application productivity — a two-person crew can apply up to 1,000 m² per shift.
Thinner
Water.
Storage
Store in a closed container indoors at temperatures from +5 to +30 °C.
Shelf life: 3 months from the date of manufacture.
