Rubberized Bitumen Emulsion

Rubberized Bitumen Emulsion is a thixotropic cold applied rubber latex modified bitumen emulsion coating of brushing consistency, single component liquid coating which dries to provide a flexible, joint less water-proof and protective coating.

Rubberized Bitumen Emulsion is used as a waterproof membrane behind retaining walls and as a damp-proof membrane for basement structures.

Fields of application

• RBE is suitable for protect all types of concrete and many adhesive applications
• Tanking and dampproofing below ground structures providing and impervious membrane
• As a highly effective vapour sealer and curing compound
• For a sandwich membrane in new floors
• Specially formulated water proofe and damp proofer for foundations, floors, walls and roofs.
• It is also a highly effective as an adhesive for wood blocks, wood mosaics, insulation boards, cork tiles and expanded polystyrene.
• Protection of steelwork, pipes and metal
• Not suitable where negative water pressure is present

Characteristics

• RBE combines the waterproofing benefits of bitumen with the elongation and crack bridging benefits of rubber latex. The result is a durable flexible membrane for all water proofing applications.
• RBE can be applied as a Curing compound for freshly on freshly cast concrete structures and waterproofing can be completed in one application.
• RBE is a single component, solvent free material.
• Non flammable and non toxic
• Resistant to chloride and sulphate attacks

Coverage

The coverage rates vary according to the density, Porosity and texture of the concrete to be treated. Typically a coverage rate of 2 – 2.5m2 / litre for general applications.
Note: Drying time depends on the surface & atmosphere condition.

Packaging: 2L, 4L, 10L, 20L Pails

**Rubberized Bitumen Emulsion must be protected immediately after curing by using a suitable protection sheets, a cement screed or fibre cement boards.
