Speco Board
Waterproofing membrane protection:
Speco Board is a semi-flexible polypropylene based board for waterproofing membrane and Tiles protection.
Description:
Speco Board is extremely strong in puncture and injury resistance. It is engineered to resist puncture at over 1000 Newton as per ASTM E-154.
Resistance to Chemical:
Speco Board differs from any other materials used to protect the waterproofing membrane as
it enjoys flexibility which enables its use for tacking corners, protrusions, rounded surfaces and also uneven surfaces.
Flexibility:
Speco Board is not affected by mineral oils, solvents, acids, based, and salts. These elements are usually found in contaminated water tables and soil compositions. This product does not absorb water, which adds to the impermeability of the waterproofing membrane.
Applications:
Speco Board is applied on hot asphalt liquid membranes, torched applied asphalt membranes and on rubber based waterproofing membranes.
1. Hot applied liquid membrane: Speco Board is simply laid down on top of hot asphalt before it cools down.
2. Torched applied asphalt membrane: before application of Speco Board, the exposed side of the membrane
shall be lightly torched in separate spots. When the top exposed layer of the membrane changes into a sticky
shiny layer, Speco Board protection boards are applied with gentle pressure.
3. Rubber waterproofing membrane: a solvent based glue (Patex or similar) is applied as an
adhering agent between the waterproofing membrane and the protection board.
