About Newton FlexProof Construction Joint Waterproofing
Newton FlexProof-X1 is a highly advanced single component liquid waterproofing material, which forms an elastomeric polymer membrane that is rainproof in minutes and capable of handling severe building movements and deformations.
FlexProof-X1 is quite unique with amazing characteristics allowing it to be used
- without a primer
- without mixing and
- in weather conditions that preclude the use of alternatives.
FlexProof-X1 is a multi-use product and can be applied by trowel or squeegee to a variety of different surfaces such as concrete, screed and timber boards to provide a continuous highly flexible membrane that is resistant to water pressures of up to 2 bar (20m) over construction joints of up to 0.25mm.
