Matacryl RB

A Flexible Seamless Liquid Waterproofing System for Railways + ballast

Superior Waterproofing Essential

Concrete not always in compliance with Specifications viz Absorption, Porosity & Permeability Bottom of the barrel Systems selected on Price only, often fail to deliver in terms of Performance Damage often occurs to cheap membranes by third parties and other trades during Construction Similarly, damage may also occur to the Waterproofing when the Protection Boards are being installed Chloride Ion ingress may compromise Structural integrity of Concrete or Steel Decks

Superior Performance Criteria

Very few limitations for installation at varying temperatures Rapid Setting and Curing minimises costly Possession & facilitates almost immediate use Non absorbent and Impermeable Tenacious Bond to Concrete and Steel surfaces Resists indentation by ballast Crack Bridging even at below sub zero temperatures Chemical (fusion) bonding between subsequent Coatings minimises chances of any debonding Seamless Protection Lower densities on flexural members Quicker installation than conventional asphalt/HRA applications Easily repaired where applicable Complies with AREMA Ballast Indentation Certification

Installation Benefits
Cold applied and does not require heating or conditioning Available in both Hand and Spray applied grades (MATACRYL MANUAL membrane only) Available in both Horizontal and Vertical Grades VOC compliant and contains no solvent Reduced application times between Coats and layers Rapid installation and handover to Client / User Only requires 3mm dry film thickness ( d.f.t ) applied in one or two Coats Variety of Primers to suit each exposure Chemically inert and not requiring Hazmat precautions when disposing of Rain resistant within 30 minutes of application Setting and Curing times may be adjusted to suit ambient and site conditions No Protection Boards or additional Alternative Protective Layers ( APL ) required Limited manpower required Insignificant amount of equipment and plant required
