Siplast Launches New Below-Grade Waterproofing System

Siplast, a Standard Industries company, announced the introduction of TeraPROOF™, a full portfolio of high-performance materials for below-grade applications, engineered to create a robust waterproofing solution for commercial buildings. The materials support the company’s growth in becoming a complete building enclosure protection provider for its customers. The waterproofing solutions include TeraPROOF™ Pre-Applied SBS Membranes and TeraPROOF™ STP Liquid Membrane, along with accessories such as TeraPROOF™ Protection CS1000 and TeraPROOF™ 10-11 Drainage Mat to complete installation. TeraPROOF™ systems are for horizontal and vertical waterproofing applications.

• TeraPROOF™ Pre-Applied SBS Membranes: TeraPROOF™ Pre-Applied V-SBS and H-SBS Membranes are modified-bitumen, heat-weldable membranes for waterproofing applications. Designed for use in below-grade waterproofing systems before the placement of concrete, they consist of polyester mat impregnated and coated with SBS-modified bitumen. The top is surfaced with fine mineral aggregate and the bottom surface is coated with an SBS-modified bitumen adhesive layer specifically formulated for torch-lap sealing applications with a polyolefin burn-off film.

• TeraPROOF™ STP Liquid Membrane: A liquid-applied, single-component, high-solids, flexible waterproofing membrane used in post-applied systems, such as concrete foundation walls, split slabs, inverted roof areas, planters, equipment wells, and other underground construction. It can also be used in detail flashing applications of pre-applied system applications, and used in conjunction with Pro Fleece for reinforcement of the membrane or detail areas.

• TeraPROOF™ Protection CS1000: A composite sheet (CS) utilizing a fleece-back and polymeric membrane. It is designed to protect the waterproofing membrane from puncture from sources such as compacted subgrade below pre-applied waterproofing, backfill damage on post-applied vertical waterproofing, or overburden elements in horizontal waterproofing assemblies.

• TeraPROOF™ 10-11 Drainage Mat: A high-performance, two-layer drainage composite that ensures a continuous path for water discharge and relieves hydrostatic pressure buildup. It features a dimpled drainage core made of impact- and tear-resistant co-polymer polypropylene, fully bonded to a high-strength, needle-punched polypropylene Geotextile, allowing water to pass freely while blocking soil particles to prevent clogging.
