Product Description
Viking Peel & Stick Membrane is a self-adhering, damp-proof membrane (DPM) waterproofing system for vertical and horizontal tanking applications. It is primarily adhered to the outside of a sub-structure of a building (such as a foundation or basement) to prevent water ingress.
Other forms of tanking where Peel & Stick can be used include, behind masonry walls, the lining of substrates of in situ or pre-cast concrete; retaining walls, cellars, lift shafts, and (hot blocks no more than 1.5 meters below ground)
Peel & Stick consists of a 1.5mm thick rubberised asphalt membrane, on the face of which a heavy-duty, high impact polyethylene film is laminated. It is easy to install (aiding a quality finish), with the adhesive side having a removable wax paper release sheet which is peeled back at the time of application to the substrate. It is cold-applied, so it is useful in restricted areas where the use of a flame is not an option. The Peel & Stick system consists of the membrane, bituminous primer, liquid mastic sealant, protection boards and drainage boards.
Peel & Stick provides full-adhesion to eliminate water migration. Peel & Stick can be adhered to various substrate types and the bond improves over time. It possesses elastomeric properties, so the membrane forgives movement and provides flexibility over cracks. It is mechanically strong and resists hydro-static pressure.
Peel & Stick can be used in conjunction with Viking's Under Slab Tanking Membrane when required to tank under footings and under slab situations.
Peel & Stick comes in rolls 1.5mm thick x 0.914m wide (fewer seams) x 20.4m long. BRANZ Appraised No. 826 (2014). 20-year product warranty.
