Insucoat RB
Insucoat RB
Insucoat RB is a premium liquid applied, cold curing bitumen emulsion modified with Rubber (SBR). This specialized formula creates a seamless, highly flexible black membrane upon drying, providing a superior barrier against water ingress and vapor transmission. It is the professional’s choice for substructure protection in aggressive soil conditions.
Property | Description / Value |
Base Material | Rubber-Modified Bitumen (SBR) |
Type | Water-Based / Cold-Applied |
Color | Dark Brown (Dries to a deep, solid Black) |
Solid Content | 50% ± 2 |
Drying Time (Surface) | 1 - 2 Hours @ 25°C |
Full Curing Time | 24 Hours |
Heat Resistance | No flowing or dripping at 100°C |
Elongation | Excellent (High elastic recovery due to rubber content) |
Rubberized Flexibility: The SBR rubber content allows the membrane to bridge minor hairline cracks and withstand thermal movements.
Damp-Surface Compatible: Can be safely applied to damp concrete surfaces, reducing downtime on-site.
Curing & Protection: Acts as a dual-purpose curing compound for freshly cast concrete while providing instant waterproofing.
Exceptional Adhesion: Forms a powerful bond with concrete, masonry, wood, and metal substrates.
Chemical Shield: Highly resistant to chlorides, sulphates, and organic acids prevalent in groundwater.
Non-Toxic & Safe: Solvent-free, non-flammable, and safe for use in confined or poorly ventilated areas.
Substructure Waterproofing: Protecting foundations, footings, and retaining walls below ground level.
Wet Area Protection: Ideal waterproofing for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry areas before tiling.
Surface Priming: Used as a high-adhesion primer for torch-applied bituminous membranes.
Roofing Systems: Maintenance of existing roofs and as a protective coating for concrete slabs.
Facade Damp-proofing: Applied behind cladding or stone works to prevent moisture migration.
Surface Preparation: Clean the substrate thoroughly to remove all dust, oils, grease, and any loose concrete debris or laitance.
Priming: A primer coat can be prepared by diluting the product with 15-20% clean water to ensure maximum penetration and adhesion.
Application: The material can be applied using a brush, roller, or airless spray machine. It is recommended to apply two or three coats, depending on the required level of protection.
Time Intervals: A waiting period of 3-4 hours (depending on the ambient temperature) is required between successive coats to allow for proper drying.
