DESCRIPTION
Vulkem Non-Exposed is a single pack elastomeric, moisture USAGE GUIDELINES
curing, high tensile strength and tough curing polyurethane One part urethane, Vulkem Non-Exposed
membrane. It cures to form a flexible rubber membrane. Membrane bonds firmly to clean, dry concrete
and well anchored wood substrates. It retains its
Vulkem Non-Exposed Membrane may be used to apply a integrity even if the substrate movement causes
seamless, monolithic waterproof membrane to concrete hairline cracks up to 1.5mm. It cut or damaged,
substrates, compressed sheeting plywood which is well Vulkem Non-Exposed Membrane will prevent
anchored and primed. Simple and easy to apply by either water migration between its substrate. Vulkem
notched trowel, roller or brush. Non-Exposed Membrane can be finished after a
48 – 72 hour cure at temperatures over 15.6°C.

PRIMING

All wood surfaces are to be primed using Vulkem
Primer 171

All metal surfaces are to be primed using by
TREMprime Non-Porous Primer (Vulkem Primer 181)

Existing polyurethane membrane surfaces are to be
primed using Vulkem Primer 191
METHOD OF APPLICATION

Mix the Vulkem Non-Exposed Membrane to ensure no
settlement of the material is in the bottom of the pail
and the colour of the material is consistent with no
streaks or striations

All internal wet areas should be waterproofed to meet
AS 3740-2004 requirements

Apply one coat of Vulkem Non-exposed Membrane at
specified coverage rates using either brush, roller or
squeegee

Ensure the membrane is turned down into the floor
waste or well sealed around the leak control flange and
other penetrations. Ensure flashing angles are properly
sealed across doorways. Check for pin holes in the
membrane when dry and rectify.

A light broadcast of sand into the Vulkem Non-Exposed
Membrane, while still wet will ensure good bond with tile
adhesive
COVERAGE

Approximately 1.2L/m2 at a dry film thickness of 1mm
(approximately 16m2 per 18.9L pail to achieve the
waterproof requirements as stated in AS 3740-2004.

Approximately 0.6L/m2 at a dry film thickness of 0.5mm
(approximately 32m2 per 18.9L pail) to achieve water
resistant requirements as stated in AS 3740-2004
(vertical applications)
CLEAN UP
Thoroughly clean tools with Tremco IPA Cleaner before
handling. Clean hands with Tremco Tub O’ Towels or
soapy water.
