DUROPROOF™ PPM 
Single Component Polyurethane Membrane

Description

Duroproof™ PPM is a high quality, superior performance single component liquid based on polyurea/polyurethane hybrid membrane. The liquid cures to form a tack- free, high modulus, flexible membrane with suitable exterior use properties.
 

Principle Applications

• Reinforced concrete roofs and decks.
• Balconies, surface finishes such as tiled screeds, timber decking and synthetic grass.
• Light traffic installations.

Advantages

• Single component, easy to spread.
• Combines high elongation and tensile strength for excellent toughness.
• Low odour, low VOC & compiles with Green Star requirements.
• Trafficable and tack-free overnight cure.
• Good abrasion and tear resistance.
• Good resistance to weathering.
• Class III – elongation as per AS/NZ 4858
• High build application is possible.

Installation

1. Surface Preparation - Surface must be free of dirt, dust, loose particles, oily contaminates, old membranes, curing compounds and flaking concrete etc. concrete should be fine broom finished. Fill all screw holes, cracks with PU sealant.
2. Priming - The preferred primer for general use is Duromix Hibuild WBE Primer. This primer is suitable where the condition of the concrete surface needs a primer with good penetration. Coat PU primer within 24 hours for wet areas and completely seal the surface with Hibuild WBE beforehand.
3.  Application - To the prepared surface, apply Duroproof ™ PPM by notched squeegee, spreader, brush or roller within a maximum of 48 hours between coats to achieve an optimum intercoat bond. If membrane becomes dirty between coats, clean it with Xylene to ensure adhesion. Allow 24 hrs to dry before covering. When dry, check for pinholes or misses and rectify if necessary.

Precautions

Do not apply above 30ºC or below 5ºC ambient temperature. Before starting the job, be ensure that rain is not expected between coats. Protect membrane against the action of roots until of its fully dry.
