Cooper and Oxley engaged Detec Australia to test the liquid membrane being installed on the carpark deck and terrace walkway and gardens with retail areas, changerooms etc directly below to ensure no leaks were found in the waterproof membran
TREMproof Torch 3000 is a 3mm thick, APP modified bituminous torch applied waterproofing membrane base sheet. TREMproof Façade is a high performance, water based acrylic membrane designed to provide a decorative and protective façade coating. TREMproof 560A Waterproofing Membrane is a self-adhesive waterproofing membrane specifically designed for below grade waterproofing. Paraseal Saltwater is a sheet applied waterproofing membrane specially designed for waterproofing applications in areas where saline, alkaline, acid, etc. conditions exist.
Products that are used in conjunction with Tremco’s waterproofing range to ensure the highest possible performance standards. Vulkem H2 Rapid is a single component, rapid cure, water-based acrylic waterproofing membrane incorporating micro fibres to increase strength and wet film thickness. TREMstop PVC Waterstops are made of specially compounded PVC resin suitable for construction and expansion joint areas as well as for water retaining structure

Dunlop Undertile Waterproofing
By definition, waterproofing is the formation of an impervious barrier which is designed to prevent water entering or escaping from various sections of building structures. They have high adhesion to concrete, and excellent crack bridging capability at 3mm. Remedial waterproofing product solutions used construction material slip resistance testing on existing structures to prevent water ingres
Contact Smithers today to discuss your Weathering and UV Testing requirements and ensure your materials withstand the harshest environments. To simulate outdoor weathering, the QUV accelerated tester exposes materials to alternating cycles of UV light and moisture at controlled, elevated temperatures. This type of testing is particularly important in the plastics, coatings, and textiles industries, where the materials need to maintain their integrity and functionality after prolonged exposure to UV light. UV weathering tester, is a type of testing equipment used to simulate the effects of prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light on various material
Dunlop Pro Rapid Waterproofing
• Multi-purpose use, suitable for all under tile applications. A waterproofing bond breaker is designed construction material slip resistance testing to allow normal building movement to be accommodated by a waterproofing membrane. We also have cementitious 2 part membranes that eliminate the need for reinforcement layers, thus saving application time and mess. Depending on the area to be waterproofed, our range includes ready-to-use acrylic and polyurethane membranes that can be applied directly out of the pai
Pure water permeability testing establishes baseline membrane transport characteristics by measuring flux across distilled water at controlled pressure and temperature. Mercury porosimetry determines pore size distributions by measuring pressure required to force mercury into membrane pores of varying sizes. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) provides nanoscale surface characterization with height resolution below 1 nanometer. Contact angle measurement devices, including automated goniometers with video image analysis, quantify membrane wettability with ±1-2 degree accurac
We provide product and system performance data that satisfies the “fit for purpose” documentation requirements of the Australian Building Code (BCA), the National Construction Code (NCC) and Australian Paint Approval Scheme specifications (APAS
Membrane manufacturing can be technically challenging and in the last few years the membrane centre has established a new laboratory for purpose of developing new membrane material for gases and liqui
Low construction material slip resistance testing Voltage Field Vector Mapping involves a perimeter wire being installed around the area to be tested. Seams on sheet membranes are also difficult for this method to accurately test as the thickness at the seam is doubled; high voltage current cannot travel laterally through a seam defect. It requires a direct air gap under the brush to the conductive substrate to spark.

Compatibility between waterproofing membranes and substrates, primers, topcoats, sealants, etc. Waterproofing is a critical aspect of construction, safeguarding buildings against moisture ingress, leaks, and structural damage. The requirements also apply to wet areas within Class 5 to 9 buildings as if it were a Class 2 or 4 part of a building. These are strips of impervious material like metal or aluminium that are fitted to divert moisture movement away from dry areas. Applying the waterproofing membrane too thickly in a single coat can result in surface curing faster than the layers underneath. The surface of the substrate must be smooth, without protrusions, voids or formwork distortions and be clean, dry and free from dus
