Concrete slabs and foundation walls almost inevitably crack,
providing entry to water, contaminates, and insects.
Underseal™ not only seals out these harmful substances, but has been proven through over 30 years of use in highway pavements, to maintain the seal, even if the pavement above it cracks.

UNDERSEAL™ Underslab Waterproofing Membrane
(previously XT 850)
Patent Applied For

Image - XT 850 detail

Installed prior to slab pour, UNDERSEAL™ Underslab Waterproofing Membrane contains 3 layers of protection.

  1. The bottom layer is a 20 mil geomembrane, highly puncture resistant and stretchable.
  2. The middle layer is a 65 mil polymerized asphalt sealant, which acts as a seal and an elastomeric stress absorbing formulation. This is the primary material which guarantees a permanent seal when the concrete cracks or the joint moves above the membrane.
  3. The top layer is a high strength geotextile which forms a physical bond to the concrete slab poured on top of it.

Image - XT 751 detail

UNDERSEAL™ Blindside Waterproofing Membrane is a three layer system, usually installed against vertical drainage boards which are fastened to lagging. Flow 15P & Low Flow drainage boards.

  1. A very high strength and puncture resistant, but conformable, polyethylene film layer is installed against the drainage board.
  2. A thick layer of elastomeric, stress absorbing polymerized sealant is adhered to the high strength polyethylene.
  3. A high strength geotextile is the last layer. This geotextile forms a physical bond to the concrete foundation wall poured against it.

Patent Applied For
Click here to view Split Slab Photos
Image - XT 851 detail

Installed between two slabs, UNDERSEAL™ Split Slab Waterproofing Membrane adheres directly to the base slab.

  1. The bottom layer is a 55 mil polymerized asphalt sealant, which acts as a seal and an elastomeric stress absorbing formulation. This is the primary material which guarantees a permanent seal when the concrete cracks or the joint moves above the membrane.
  2. The top layer is a 20 mil geomembrane, highly puncture resistant and stretchable.

UNDERSEAL™ Split Slab Waterproofing Membrane does not require a protection board if light construction traffic is present. Many times it is used in conjunction with Polyguard horizontal drainage boards. Flow 18H & Flow 10HV drainage boards.

Image - XT 750 detail

Installed on vertical foundation walls, Underseal™ Protected Wall Waterproofing Membrane is a self adhesive material, similar to Polyguard's widely specified 650 product, except that it contains a 20 mil geomembrane backing which provides a built-in protection board.

How UNDERSEAL™ acts as a barrier to:

 
 
How UNDERSEAL™ is superior to today's "vapor barriers"
Why UNDERSEAL™ can take unprecedented construction abuse
How UNDERSEAL™ will self-heal small punctures against moisture vapor.
Why UNDERSEAL™ will continue to seal, even when the slab above it cracks, or the joint in the slab above it moves 
Why UNDERSEAL™ may reduce the amount and severity of cracking in the slab poured above
How DOT's use Polyguard underseals to create a permanent seal, and to reduce the amount of cracking
