It is equally effective for use as between-the-slab waterproofing on plaza decks, parking decks and structural slabs. Use it as a waterproofing membrane to isolate mechanical and electronic rooms, laboratories, kitchens and bathrooms. MEL-ROL offers positive protection when "wrapped around" major rapid transit, vehicular, utility and pedestrian tunnel projects. MEL-ROL can also be used on insulated concrete forms (ICF).
Installation of PROTECTION COURSE from W. R. MEADOWS is recommended before backfilling. MEL-ROL also be used with drainage boards when specified.
DESCRIPTION
MEL-ROL waterproofing system is a flexible, versatile, dependable, roll-type waterproofing membrane. It is composed of a nominally 56 mil thick layer of polymeric waterproofing membrane on a heavy duty, four-mil thick, cross-laminated polyethylene carrier film. The two components are laminated together under strict quality-controlled production procedures.
A handy overlap guideline is printed 2 ½" (63.5 mm) in from the material edge on each side to assure proper overlap coverage and to assist in maintaining a straight application. Special exposed polymeric membrane strips are provided on both sides for positive membrane-to-membrane adhesion in the overlap area. The membrane strips are protected by a pull-off release strip. All components of the MEL-ROL waterproofing system work together to provide a cost-effective, positive waterproofing system that's quick and easy to apply.
W. R. MEADOWS accessory products included in the MEL-ROL waterproofing system are: MEL-ROL LIQUID MEMBRANE, MEL-PRIME™ adhesive (solvent-based and water-based), POINTING MASTIC, DETAIL STRIP, CATALYTIC BONDING ASPHALT, TERMINATION BAR, PROTECTION COURSE and MEL-DRAIN™ drainage board.
