Under Tile (PUMA) Coating

Brand: Tremco Incorporated

Vulkem® EWS is a cold-applied, waterproofing system that utilizes polyurethane-methacrylate (PUMA) technology. PUMA waterproofing systems offer superior elongation over traditional MMA/PMMA technology systems. Vulkem EWS is composed of a primer (Tremco PUMA Primer), a base coat (Tremco PUMA BC), and a top coat (Tremco PUMA TC). All system components are cured using Tremco PUMA Initiator.
Features
  • Vulkem EWS is ideal for under tile application.
  • Vulkem EWS is a cold-applied traffic deck coating system designed for waterproofing concrete slabs and protecting occupied areas underneath from water damage.
  • Additionally, the system will protect the concrete from the damaging effects of chloride, deicing salts, chemicals, gasoline, oils and anti- freeze.
