Proofex Engage and Proofex 3100 Membranes
Description
Proofex Engage is a pre-applied DPM or tanking membrane and Proofex 3100 is a post-applied DPM membrane for basement retaining walls and floors. They are applied under floor slabs and foundations and to the exterior face of basement retaining walls to prevent liquid water or water vapour penetrating to the interior face in spaces where moisture may cause damage.
Proofex Engage is supplied as a multi-layered composite sheet and Proofex 3100 is supplied as a self-adhering, polymer-rubber modified bitumen sheet, both in roll form.
