Matacryl WS and WS Flex Wear Surface Waterproofing System
Matacryl WS and WS Flex are PUMA-based, membrane waterproofing systems. They provide a sealed wear layer in combination with a flexible, crack-bridging barrier membrane and surface friction suited to the structure use. In addition to application on concrete and steel substrates, WS systems can be used as a wear surface on fiberglass-reinforced panel (FRP) bridges and structures. Applications include new bridge construction, routine maintenance and bridge restoration as well as unique applications such as bike lanes, multi-use pathways, transit station pedestrian areas and park trails. Matacryl WS and WS Flex systems deliver superior, long-term performance by protecting the substrate from the effects of extreme weather and contaminants such as chlorides, deicing salts, chemicals, gasoline and oils.
System Benefits:
- Available in spray and manually-applied grades to suit job site conditions; no heating or conditioning of resins is required
- Installs at a wide range of ambient and substrate temperatures -4 to 95 °F (-20 to 35 °C) to extend the construction season
- Highly-flexible crack-bridging membrane layer bonds tenaciously to wear layers
- Customizable to the characteristics of the project by adjusting layer thicknesses, aggregate size and color, and top coat color
- Rapid set time promotes fast installation, lower labor costs and efficient handover to next construction phase
Applications:
- Steel and concrete vehicular bridges with low profile for wear surface
- Cycle and pedestrian bridges and multi-use pathways
- Public transit pedestrian platforms
- Bus terminal drive ramps and lanes
