Waterproofing & Fillings

HDPE waterproofing membrane

  • BestMem GroundAD 110 is an HDPE waterproofing membrane with a sand-based surface and an adhesive layer at the joints, offering high flexibility and elasticity.

    BestMem GroundAD 110 creates a bond and adhesion to the concrete layer to prevent water ingress and protect underground structures.

Application instruction

SURFACE PREPARATION:

  • The substrate must be thoroughly cleaned (free from water, dust, debris, sand, etc.) and any uneven areas or voids must be properly repaired and leveled.

  • Horizontal substrates should preferably be concrete or other dense, solid materials (avoid porous or lightweight substrates).

  • Structural elements such as concrete piles, formwork, or support panels on vertical surfaces must be securely fixed to ensure adequate load-bearing capacity.

Notes:

  • Ambient application temperature must be above 5°C.

  • BestMem GroundAD 110 should be installed by qualified and experienced applicators.

  • At overlaps, ensure surfaces are clean and use a roller to apply sufficient pressure to achieve proper adhesion.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

Application on horizontal surfaces:

  • Unroll the membrane with the polyethylene side facing the substrate, and the adhesive protection layer facing upward to bond with the poured concrete.

  • For longitudinal overlaps: remove the protective release liner (approx. 80 mm width) from both membrane sheets and bond them together. Use a roller to eliminate air bubbles and voids.

  • For transverse overlaps: clean the overlap area and use the supplied adhesive to bond both the underside (160 mm width) and the top side (120 mm width) of the joint.

  • Always remove the protective liner before pouring concrete onto the membrane.

Application on vertical surfaces:

  • Fix the membrane to the wall using metal battens, with the polyethylene side facing the wall and the adhesive protection layer facing outward (toward the concrete).

  • Fasteners should be spaced 30–60 cm apart depending on load requirements; the batten should be positioned at least 10 mm away from the overlap edge.

  • The top edge of the membrane must be sealed to the wall using the supplied adhesive.

  • Always remove the protective liner before placing concrete against the membrane.

SAFETY

  • BestMem GroundAD 110 is non-toxic and non-flammable.

  • However, standard construction safety practices must be followed during installation, particularly regarding fire prevention and site safety.
