    Watertite TE 40 is a polymer-modified bituminous waterproofing membrane made of bitumen blended with SBS polymers and reinforced with a non-woven polyester fabric. It has excellent waterproofing and flexibility properties down to -3°C/-10°C. The membrane is torch-applied to primed concrete surfaces and sealed at overlaps with heated trowels to create a watertight barrier for foundations, basements, pools, and other water retaining structures. It has high tensile strength, puncture resistance, and resistance to water and chemicals.

    DESCRIPTION 1
    Watertite TE 40 is a bituminous waterproofing membrane
    manufactured by blending a mixture of bitumen and SBS
    (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) polymers to obtain excellent surface imperfections, protrusions, structurally unsound and
    waterproofing and low temperature flexibility properties. friable concrete must be removed and repaired.
    The polymerized bitumen is coated onto a dimensionally ­­Priming
