WATERGUARD GRSPOLYESTER NON-WOVEN GLASS REINFORCED FIBRE MATT

FOR LIQUID WATERPROOFING

PET nonwovens Coated with bitumen Application: Waterproofing of roofs

Liquid waterproofing technology is used for the waterproofing of roofs Chemical compounds are applied to surfaces in liquid form and dry quickly to form a solid

waterproof Membrane

Characteristics Seamless membranes: no joints vulnerable to water penetration Ease and speed of installation: fast and easy to install Long life: liquid waterproofing systems can provide a long-term lifespan in excess of 25

years Versatile: can be used on flat, pitched even domed roofs

Method of installation A liquid primer is first applied on the roofing surface After allowing the primer to dry, the carrier (reinforcement) is laid on top The carrier is allowed to saturate fully and glued to the surface After the reinforcement dries fully, 2-3 courses of waterproofing liquid are added After curing, a resilient, fully bonded sheet is obtained which forms a good waterproofing

layer

Liquid Waterproofing : IntroductionLiquid Waterproofing : Introduction

The carrier is responsible for the stability of the waterproofing membrane

The carrier has to have high thermal stability and durability

The carrier should also be flexible, as over a period of time small stresses can

cause ruptures in the membrane if it is breakable

The carrier should also be easily impregnable

What is WATERGUARD GRSWhat is WATERGUARD GRS

WATERGUARD GRS is a polyester nonwoven felt, reinforced with glass filament for

greater durability

It is based on technology developed by the FAIRMATE through continuous research

and more than 30 years of experience in the waterproofing market

WATERGUARD GRS is a high performance product that can satisfy a broad range of

reinforcement requirements and the most demanding specifications.

It combines the advantages of PET nonwovens with the strength of glass.

By using WATERGUARD GRS, less liquid compounds are needed, resulting in lower

costs

It is easier to control the thickness of the waterproofing membranes when

WATERGUARD GRS is used, thus the water proofing membrane is more uniform

WATERGUARD GRS OTHER SUBSTRATES

Made of polyester, hence high durability and flexibility

High resistance to tear High stability during

application Longer life

Less durability and flexibility More susceptible to tear Low elongation at break, more

unstable Shorter life due to poorer

quality of mater
