Product Group: BAKOR 790-11 TWO PLY, HOT-APPLIED RUBBERIZED ASPHALT WATERPROOFING

Country of Origin: U.S.A. of Manufacture: Canada

Year First Installed
Canada: 1968

1 Description

The main components of Bakor 790-11 are specially selected blend of refined asphalts, synthetic rubber and mineral stabilizers. It is modified with additives to promote adhesion and improve low temperature flexibility. The membrane is 100% in solids and provides an immediate cure on cooling.

The system normally consists of two plies of 790-11 membrane reinforced with Bakor Polyfab, a polyester reinforcing fabric.

The system is constructed in the field by squeegee application of Bakor 790-11 hot applied, rubberized asphalt to achieve a monolithic, fully bonded waterproofing membrane with full adhesion to the deck to restrict lateral water movement.

Bakor 790-11 Tow ply Waterproofing System is used for waterproofing concrete slabs and split slab construction projects, both on horizontal and vertical surfaces.

LIMITATIONS

  • Not intended for use as a permanently exposed surface. Must be protected by appropriate overlay.
  • Not recommended over lightweight insulated concrete.
  • Contact Henry Canada when using in direct contact with coal-tar pitch derivatives or products containing coal-tar pitch, concrete with curing compounds or additives, or substrates which have existing waterproofing materials already in place.
  • Do not heat above 215°C. Do not melt in direct fired, single-wall kettles.
