ARDEX WPM 1500 - Weldtec Tanking Membrane

ARDEX WPM 1500 is a pre-applied, fleece-lined, weldable waterproofing membrane for below ground tanking and gas barrier applications. ARDEX WPM 1500 is welded at laps and seams to create a strong, continuous waterproofing membrane. Based on butyl technology, ARDEX WPM 1500 has excellent elongation, flexibility and water migration resistance. The fleece-lined surface allows a high bond strength to concrete, and provides excellent resistance to water migration.

• Proven butyl long term performance
• Allows maximum use of confined space
• Radon, hydrogen sulphide and methane gas barrier
• Not reliant on confining pressures, hydration or tape systems
• WeldTec technology to create very strong, watertight laps and detailing
• Forms a unique, continuous waterproofing membrane
• High elongation – excellent crack bridging capabilities
• Excellent bond strength to concrete to ensure waterproofing
• Excellent water migration resistance

Use:

ARDEX WPM 1500 is normally used as a single layer membrane in horizontal or vertical applications for waterproofing in below ground applications. It is primarily applied to the outside of a sub-structure of a building, such as a foundation or basement, to prevent water ingress or as a gas barrier to prevent the ingress of toxic gases. ARDEX WPM 1500 can also be used in other applications including under floor slabs, behind masonry walls, the lining of substrates of in-situ or precast concrete; retaining walls, lift shafts and tunnels. ARDEX WPM 1500 can also be used in combination with other ARDEX WeldTec products.

Locations:

• Outside of foundations and basements
• Underfloor slabs
• Behind masonry walls
• Lining substrates of in-situ or precast concrete
• Retaining walls
• Lift shafts
• Tunnels
