what is Ultraseal?Ultraseal isauniquewaterproofingsystemthatutilizesanadvancedactive polymer core (apc) technology that is ten times less permeable and more chemically resistant than traditional hydrophilic membranes. TwoUltrasealmembranecomposites-BTandSP-eachwithspecificproductperformancefeatures,providethebestwaterproofingproper-tiesforunderslabs,backfilledfoundationwalls,andpositivepressureblind-side walls, such as soldier pile and lagging retaining walls.
prodUct descriptionultraseal sp is a three component composite membrane consisting of the apc layer between a geotextile and a geomembrane. ultraseal sp is primarily for under slab applications.
ultraseal BT is a two component composite membrane consisting of the apc layer integrally bonded to a high-strength geomembrane. ul-trasealBT isdesigned forbackfilled foundationwalls,earth-coveredstructures, and property line construction. property line construction applications include soldier pile and lagging, metal sheet piling, auger castcaisson,shotcrete,andstabilizedearthretentionwalls.

installation of ultraseal is fast and easy. simply position the product into place and fasten. ultraseal can be installed on green concrete, in virtually any weather, without the need for primers or adhesives. it can be easily cut on site to form around corners and penetrations. The re-sult is always a consistent self-healing membrane.
advantagesCompared to traditional active waterproofing products, Ultraseal islighter, more impervious, and more resistant to contaminated water conditions.Withamassperunitareaofjustover0.3lbs/sq.ft.,Ultra-seal rolls are lightweight and easy to handle. despite the lighter weight, the apc is one order of magnitude less permeable than bentonite, meaning that it will deliver tenfold performance increase under most conditions. Finally, ultraseal has improved performance in salt water conditionsoverbentonitewaterproofingmembranes.
sUperior adhesionWhen concrete is poured against Ultraseal, a tenaciousmechanicalbond is created with the membrane composite. The mechanical bond will hold ultraseal in intimate contact with the concrete should any ground settlement occur, thereby preventing water migration between thewaterproofingandtheconcrete.
cost effective and time efficientultraseal sp is designed to be installed on a properly prepared sub-grade, without the need to pour a working slab. The product’s inherent flexibilityallowsforeasy installation.Ultrasealseamsareeasilyover-lapped without the need to roll out every small wrinkle or air pocket. ultraseal BT can be installed as soon as the forms are removed; there isnowaitingfortheconcretetocurebeforeinstallingthewaterproofing.

The use of construction techniques described in this section allow the exterior building dimensions to coincide with the property line, thereby maximizinguseof available land for building.UltrasealBThasbeenproventobeoneofthemosteffectivemeansforwaterproofingprop-erty line construction. cast-in-place property line construction methods include soldier pile & lagging, metal sheet piling, earth formed shot-crete retention walls, and auger cast caisson walls.
For all property line construction methods, Ultraseal BT is in-stalled to the shoring wall prior to concrete placement. Install Ultraseal BT with the APC side inward, facing the installer, away from the shoring wall. Refer to each applicable con-struction method in Section 2 for specific substrate prepara-tion and detailing installation guidelines.
