Aussie Membrane 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
