AVM System 520
AVM Aussie Membrane® 520 is a high-performance, cold fluid-applied, single-component polyurethane waterproofing membrane. Formulated with advanced elastomeric technology, this moisture-curing membrane forms a seamless, flexible, and durable barrier that fully bonds to substrates. It provides excellent elongation, crack-bridging capabilities, and resistance to chemicals and environmental exposure. With ultra-low VOC content and outstanding tensile strength, Aussie 520 delivers long-lasting protection in demanding conditions.
