MEL-ROL®
MEL-ROL waterproofing sys-
tem is a flexible, versatile,
dependable bituminous,
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

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 05

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 compo-
nents of the MEL-ROL waterproofing system work together
to provide a cost-effective, positive waterproofing system
that’s quick and easy to apply. The roll size of MEL-ROL is
38.5” (.98 m) wide x 62.5’ (18.29 m) long.

MEL-ROL LM
MEL-ROL LM is a single-com-
ponent, polymer-modified,
cold-applied, water-based, liq-
uid waterproofing membrane
ideal for below-grade vertical
seamless waterproofing appli-
cations. We have taken the same high quality rubber
polymers found in MEADOWS’ successful MEL-ROL “peel
and stick” membrane, and converted them into a heavy-
bodied, high solids, quick drying liquid membrane.
With MEL-ROL LM, installation time is reduced, utilizing
either a spray or roller application. A variety of different
protection courses, insulation boards or drainage boards
can be embedded into the membrane to create a superior
waterproofing system. With the application of PERMINA-
TOR® vapor barrier over the membrane, a composite
system can be created that has the combined advantages
of both “peel and stick” and liquid-applied membranes.

MEL-ROL LM
(ALL SEASON)
MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON) is a
single component, polymer
modified, cold-applied, liquid
waterproofing membrane
ideal for below-grade vertical
seamless waterproofing applica-
tions. We have taken the same high quality rubber poly-
mers found in MEADOWS’ successful MEL-ROL “peel and
stick” membrane, and converted them into a heavy bod-
ied, high solids, quick drying liquid membrane. The liquid-
membrane technology allows faster installation times
using either a spray or roller application..

PRECON®
PRECON is a composite sheet
membrane comprised of a
non-woven fabric, an
elastomeric membrane, and
W. R. MEADOWS' exclusive,
patented plasmatic core (U.S.
Patent No. U.S. 7,179,761). The plasmatic core is a seven-
layer matrix designed for toughness and provides the
lowest water vapor transmission (WVT) rating on the
market. Once concrete is poured against PRECON and the
concrete cures, a mechanical bond forms that secures the
concrete to the membrane.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 07

PRECON is used as a blindside membrane in vertical

applications where access to the positive side is limited.
The membrane can also be used for horizontal applications
for underslab waterproofing and vaporproofing.

HRM 714
HRM 714 hot-applied rubberized
asphalt waterproofing membrane
is a 100% solids blend of asphalts,
synthetic rubber polymers, and
filler formulated to provide
toughness with flexibility and low
moisture vapor permeance.

HYDRALASTIC 836
HYDRALASTIC 836 is a cold-ap-
plied, solvent-free, single-com-
ponent waterproofing
compound. It does not shrink,
has a low volatile organic
compound (VOC) content,
and has a very low odor. It will not crack in extreme cold
or slump due to softening at high temperatures.

MEL-DRAIN™
MEL-DRAIN is a dimple-
raised, molded polystyrene
sheet bonded to high
strength polypropylene
fabric. This geocomposite

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

08 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

allows the passage of moisture through the fabric while

preventing fine soils from entering the drainage channel.
Various drain designs are available, depending on soil
pressure and flow specifications. (An optional polyester
backing film is available when used in conjunction with
flexible waterproofing material.) The family of MEL-DRAIN
products provides excellent protection in vertical,
horizontal, and site applications.

PREMOULDED MEM-
BRANE® VAPOR SEAL
WITH PLASMATIC®
CORE (PMPC)
PREMOULDED MEMBRANE
VAPOR SEAL with PLAS-
MATIC CORE (PMPC) is a
patented seven-ply, weather-coated, permanently
bonded, semi-flexible vaporproofing/waterproofing
membrane. It is composed of an exclusive plasmatic core
suspended mid-point between two layers of a homoge-
neous, bituminous material, and then sealed under heat
and pressure between liners of asphalt-impregnated felt
and a glass-mat liner. An asphalt weather coat is applied
to the glass-mat liner and covered with a polyethylene
anti-stick sheet.
PMPC provides a positive, easy-to-install, economical, true
vaporproofing and waterproofing system for horizontal
applications. Properly applied, it stops moisture migration
in footings, concrete floors and structural slabs.
PREMOULDED MEMBRANE VAPOR SEAL with PLASMATIC
CORE is both waterproof and vaporproof.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 09

It offers a perm rating of less than 0.002 perms, the lowest

in the industry. The product is the ultimate when a true
vapor seal is required. Among its unique features is the
built-in protection course, which resists jobsite puncturing
and the abrasive action of concrete placement. PMPC
conforms to ASTM E 1993-98. The exclusive PLASMATIC
CORE adds flexibility, greater tensile strength, and excel-
lent handling characteristics, in addition to providing un-
equalled vapor barrier properties

PERMINATOR®
PERMINATOR underslab
vapor barrier is a new gen-
eration of polyolefin-based
resin/chemical technology.
PERMINATOR provides the
vapor barrier industry with
a highly effective, economical choice for helping to reduce
the penetration of moisture and water vapor through the
slab into the structure, thereby helping to reduce fungus,
mildew and mold growth. PERMINATOR also helps reduce
radon gas from entering the structure.
PERMINATOR is tough enough to withstand normal
construction jobsite conditions and traffic. It will not
crack, puncture, snag, split, or tear easily.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

10 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

New resin technology allows dramatically greater punc-

ture resistance while maintaining one of the lowest perm
ratings in the market.

PERMINATOR prevents uncontrolled moisture from enter-

ing the slab allowing the slab to maintain the maximum
slab moisture emission rate and relative humidity level as
allowed by flooring manufacturer’s specifications.
PERMINATOR is available in 10 mil and 15 mil thicknesses.
Both versions are furnished in 200’ (61 m) long rolls.
PERMINATOR’s 12’ wide (15 mil) and 15’ wide (10 mil) rolls
require fewer seams in application. Installation is quick
and easy. All joints/seams, both lateral and butt, should be
overlapped 6” and taped using 4” wide PERMINATOR TAPE.
PERMINATOR rolls fast and smoothly over level tamped
soil or compacted fill. PERMINATOR also meets or exceeds
all requirements of ASTM E 1745-11 Class A, B & C.

MEL-ROL
MEL-ROL waterproofing system provides a cost-effective
answer to properly waterproof foundations, vertical walls
and below-grade floors in residential and commercial con-
struction. It is equally effective for use as between-the-

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

12 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

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 protec-
tion when “wrapped around” major rapid transit, vehicular,
utility and pedestrian tunnel projects. MEL-ROL can also
be used on insulated concrete forms (ICF).
Concrete should be cured at least 72 hours, be clean, dry,
smooth and free of voids. Repair spalled areas; fill all voids
and remove all sharp protrusions.
Apply in dry, fair weather when the air and surface temper-
aturesareabove40°F(4°C).Donotapplytofrozenconcrete.
MEL-ROL LOW TEMP can be used when air and surface
temperatures are between 20° F (-7° C) and 60° F (16° C).
Apply MEL-PRIME adhesive to surfaces that will be cov-
ered within one working day. If left exposed overnight, ad-
ditional adhesive must be applied. Follow all instructions
and precautions on containers.
REMOVE release paper from MEL-ROL from the top edge
of the roll and firmly press exposed area to the wall. 
Remove the release paper from the rolls in a downward
direction, pressing MEL-ROL into place on the wall.
Use DETAIL STRIP for impaction sheet coverage. First, fold
strips lengthwise and then cut at the fold. Material is then
ready to install as 4 ½” (114.3 mm) strips on either side of
the rebar. Any excess can be turned down on the face of
the footing. Next, fill the voids around rebar in the keyway
with CATALYTIC BONDING ASPHALT. Pour the walls. Install
DETAIL STRIP horizontally along the wall where it meets
the footing, placing half the material up the wall and the
other half onto the footing. Extend the material 4 ½”

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 13

(114.3 mm) beyond outside corners. Slit extended portion

of DETAIL STRIP lengthwise. Place the horizontal flap out
onto the footing and bend the vertical flap around the
wall. MEL-ROL can be applied to concrete, masonry surfaces,
wood, insulated wall systems and metal.  All substrates must
be clean, dry and free of all surface irregularities.
HORIZONTAL APPLICATION ... Remove release paper on
edge, then position the MEL-ROL membrane.  Pull balance
of release paper off, running the roll from low to high
points, so all laps will shed water. Stagger end laps and
overlap all seams at least 2 ½” (63.5 mm). Apply a double-
thickness of the MEL-ROL membrane over construction,
control and expansion joints and over cracks greater than
1/16” (1.59 mm) wide.
VERTICAL WALL APPLICATION ... Masonry walls may
require the application of a cementitious parge-coat.
Allow the parge-coat to dry before priming and applying
MEL-ROL.  When applied, the parge-coat will produce a
smooth, uniform and well-bonded surface.  Remove
release paper, then apply vertically in lengths approxi-
mately 8’ (2.44 m) long over the top of the horizontal
DETAIL STRIP at the footing.  Overlap seams at least 2 ½”
(63.5 mm).  Tightly butt edges of membrane and apply
POINTING MASTIC in corner applications.
To the top terminations, apply POINTING MASTIC at least
1/8” (3.18 mm) thick and 1” (25.4 mm) wide. As an option,
TERMINATION BAR may be used to mechanically fasten
the membrane.
Once positioned, immediately hand-rub the MEL-ROL
membrane firmly to the surface, removing any bubbles or
wrinkles, then pressure roll the complete surface to assure
positive adhesion.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

14 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

Before MEL-ROL is applied, place a vertical DETAIL STRIP

on inside corners extending the material 4 ½” (114.3 mm)
beyond each side of the corner. Terminate at the footing
and finish the corner with POINTING MASTIC.
Bend DETAIL STRIP vertically over the outside corner and
extend 4 ½” (114.3 mm) beyond each side of the corner.
Terminate the material at the footing. Finish the corner
with POINTING MASTIC.
All protrusions should be sealed with two layers of mem-
brane applied at least 6” (152.4 mm) in all directions. Seal
all terminations with POINTING MASTIC. Around drains,
apply two layers of MEL-ROL and put a bead of POINTING
MASTIC between the membrane and clamping rings and
at all terminations, drains and protrusions. See ASTM D
5898.
A thorough inspection should be made before covering
and all necessary repairs made immediately. Tears and in-
adequate overlaps should be covered with MEL-ROL ... slit
fish-mouths and patch. Seal edges of all patches with
POINTING MASTIC. Where applicable, horizontal applica-
tions can be flood-tested for 24 hours. All leaks should be
marked and repaired when membrane dries.
Protect the membrane on all vertical and horizontal instal-
lations with the immediate application of PROTECTION
COURSE if no drainage system is used, or MEL-DRAIN.
To secure PROTECTION COURSE, use POINTING MASTIC
as an adhesive, and/or physically attach at the top edge
using TERMINATION BAR. Backfilling should be done
immediately, using care and caution to avoid damaging
the waterproofing application.

MEL-ROL LM
MEL-ROL LM can be used on new and remedial waterproof-
ing applications on concrete or masonry block substrates.
Since the formula is water-based, MEL-ROL LM can also be
used on both ICFs and “green concrete” applications.
All surfaces must be clean (free of coatings and curing
compounds), free of frost, relatively smooth and struc-
turally sound. Patch any bug holes, tie holes, large gaps or
cracks with MEADOW-PATCH 5 or MEADOW-PATCH 20
from W. R. MEADOWS. All loose laitance on the substrates,
such as dirt, dust, loose stones and debris, should be ei-
ther swept or blown clean.
All shrinkage cracks less than 1/16” should be pre-treated
with a 60-mil coat of MEL-ROL LM 6” (15 cm) wide. All
cracks greater than 1/16” should be taped with
DETAIL STRIP prior to application of the membrane. For
specific project recommendations, please contact
W. R. MEADOWS technical services.
MEL-ROL LM is designed to be used from the pail or drum
with little or no mixing. However, if water appears on the
surface of the unit, thoroughly mix with a low speed
mechanical mixer prior to application.
To reduce blistering on concrete surfaces, a thin coat of
MEL-ROL LM diluted with water may be required. (Approx-
imate dilution ratio of MEL-ROL LM to water is between
4:1 and 5:1.)
Thoroughly mechanically mix primer. Prime the entire
concrete surface to be waterproofed by spraying or rolling
on a single coat at a coverage rate of 100-150 sq. ft./gal.
Allow primer to dry (approximately one hour, depending
on temperature and conditions).

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

16 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

After surface preparations are complete, detailing should

be addressed. The desired thickness of membrane cover-
age is 120 mils for inside/outside corners and non-moving
and hairline cracks, as well as around drains and penetra-
tions. All control and expansion joints should be taped
with DETAIL STRIP before application of membrane.
MEL-ROL LM can be applied directly from the container
using a ¾” nap roller. Apply in two coats, each 30 mils
thick, allowing first coat to reach initial set prior to
application of second coat.
MEL-ROL LM may be sprayed on vertical surfaces at the
minimum coverage thickness of 60 mils wet (45 mils dry).
A single coat may achieve desired coating thickness. How-
ever, if material slumps due to temperature or substrate
conditions, two coats (30 mils wet) may be necessary.
Apply the second coat after the first coat has dried
(approximately one to two hours).
HORIZONTAL APPLICATION … Contact your local
W. R. MEADOWS sales office for specific recommendations.
Frequently inspect surface area with a wet mil gauge to
ensure desired consistent thickness is achieved. Porous
substrates or masonry block walls may require additional
coats to obtain desired thickness.
MEL-ROL LM is most effectively applied by using the Graco
HydraMax 350 or the Graco GH833 Big Rig.
The Graco heavy-duty texture gun is recommended for
use with the following tips. For best results, use the 0.051”
(Graco GHD551) heavy-duty switch tip. For spraying of
primer coat, a smaller orifice tip such as the 0.035” (Graco
GHD635) can be used. Tips should be reversible types for
easy clean out.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 17

Cover vertical applications with PROTECTION COURSE,

MEL-DRAIN or 10 mil PERMINATOR. On vertical surfaces,
coverings can be embedded into the membrane shortly
after application.
Allow 24 hours for complete cure of membrane prior to
backfilling.
PRECON
Surface Preparation … Inspect all surfaces for any conditions
detrimental to the proper completion of the work. Surfaces
should be structurally sound. Remove debris or any other
foreign material that could damage the membrane.
Application Method … PRECON may be applied at tem-
peratures down to 40° F (5° C); however, in less than ideal
environments or marginal conditions, consider the use of
PRECON LOW TEMP below 60° F (16° C). PRECON LOW
TEMP can be used in temperatures down to 25° F (-4° C)
MEL-PRIME™ from W. R. MEADOWS should be used to
enhance the bond at the selvedge edge when conditions
warrant it with both PRECON and PRECON LOW TEMP.
Prior to application of the blindside membrane, attach
MEL-DRAIN rolled matrix drainage system from W. R.
MEADOWS to lagging or soil retention system.
In vertical applications of PRECON, mechanically attach
with fasteners every 12" (31 cm) across the top, within ½”
(13 mm) of the top edge of the membrane. Install the
membrane with the fabric side facing toward
the concrete pour.
Remove release paper on 6" (152.4 mm) overlap. Apply
membrane and roll press into place with a tile type roller.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

18 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

End Laps … Overlap membrane 6” (152.4 mm). Prior to

overlap, apply BEM, HYDRALASTIC 836 or MEL-ROL LIQUID
MEMBRANE (two-component) from W. R. MEADOWS in
area to be lapped. Roll press membrane into BEM,
HYDRALASTIC 836 or MEL-ROL LIQUID MEMBRANE. At
terminations of membrane, apply BEM, HYDRALASTIC 836
or MEL-ROL LIQUID MEMBRANE 12” (31 cm) wide centered
over the termination and while still wet, embed 12” (31 cm)
wide DETAIL FABRIC into the HYDRALASTIC 836 or MEL-
ROL LIQUID MEMBRANE and roll press into place. Ensure
that DETAIL FABRIC is centered over the termination with
6” (15.2 cm) on each side of lap edge. Apply additional
HYDRALASTIC 836 on all terminations of DETAIL FABRIC.
Penetrations and Protrusions … Detail around all horizon-
tal and vertical penetrations using BEM or MEL-ROL LIQ-
UID MEMBRANE (two-component) from W. R. MEADOWS.
Apply BEM or MEL-ROL LIQUID MEMBRANE by forming a
fillet around the pipe or protrusion, overlapping the fabric
side of PRECON and the protrusion a minimum of 2.5” (64
mm). If the gap between the protrusion and the mem-
brane is greater than ½” (13 mm), apply PRECON FABRIC
TAPE over the uncured BEM or MEL-ROL LIQUID MEM-
BRANE. All penetration and protrusion surfaces must be
clean, rust-free, and sound prior to application of BEM or
MEL-ROL LIQUID MEMBRANE.
PRECAUTIONS
Concrete should be poured within 60 days of membrane
installation. For installations below 40° F, contact
W. R. MEADOWS technical services.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 19

MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON)

MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON) can be used on new and reme-
dial waterproofing applications on concrete or masonry
block substrates. Application can be performed in colder
weather when water-based products cannot be used.
Do not apply to “green” (fresh) concrete. Concrete must be
cured a minimum of 14 days prior to application. Do not
use with insulated concrete forms (ICFs). Polystyrene insu-
lation boards may be used only after membrane has thor-
oughly cured a minimum of 72 hours, and there is no
danger of residual solvent degrading the boards.
All surfaces must be clean and dry, free of frost, relatively
smooth and structurally sound. Patch any bug holes, tie
holes, large gaps or cracks with MEADOW-PATCH 5 or
MEADOW-PATCH 20 from W. R. MEADOWS. All loose
laitance on the substrates, such as dirt, dust, loose stones
and debris should be either swept or blown clean.
All shrinkage cracks less than 1/16" should be pre-treated
with a 60-mil wet coat of MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON) at 6"
wide. All cracks greater then 1/16” should be pre-treated
with W. R. MEADOWS DETAIL STRIP prior to application of
the membrane. For specific project recommendations,
please contact W. R. MEADOWS technical services.
MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON) is designed to be used from
the pail or drum with little or no mixing. For spray applica-
tions, MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON) MUST BE A MINIMUM OF
60° F (15° C) WHEN SPRAYING. Material will become very
thick and difficult to spray at lower temperatures. MEL-
ROL LM (ALL SEASON) must be stored in a heated trailer
and/or passed through a heat exchanger for successful
spraying.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

20 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

To reduce potential blistering on poured concrete founda-

tions, a thin primer coat of the material may be required.
Prime the entire concrete surface to be waterproofed by
spraying or rolling on a single coat of MEL-ROL LM
(ALL SEASON) at a coverage rate of 100-150 sq. ft./gal.
Allow the primer to dry, which is approximately 1 – 2
hours, depending on jobsite conditions (temperature, hu-
midity, air flow, etc.).
After surface preparations are complete, detailing should
be addressed. The desired thickness of membrane cover-
age is 120 mils for inside/outside corners and non-moving
and hairline cracks, as well as around drains and penetra-
tions. All control and expansion joints should be taped
with DETAIL STRIP before application of membrane.
MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON) can be applied directly from
the container using a ¾” nap roller. Apply in two coats,
each 40 mils thick, allowing first coat to reach initial set
prior to application of second coat. In low temperatures,
MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON) must be kept warm using pail
or drum heaters. The product should be heated to 60° F.
MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON) should be sprayed at a
minimum thickness of 80 mils wet (45 mils dry). A single
coat may achieve desired coating thickness. However,
if material slumps due to temperature or substrate
conditions, two coats (40 mils wet) may be necessary.
If MEL-DRAIN is used with MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON),
use plastic-backed MEL-DRAIN to prevent waterproofing
membrane from being pushed into plastic core.
For horizontal applications, please contact a
W. R. MEADOWS representative at 1-800-342-5976.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 21

Frequently inspect surface area with a wet mil gauge to

ensure desired consistent thickness is achieved. Porous
substrates or masonry block walls may require additional
coats to obtain desired thickness.
Allow membrane to cure a minimum of 48 hours prior to
application of a protection course. Membrane should be
covered within 30 days after application. Cover with
PROTECTION COURSE, MEL-DRAIN or 10 mil PERMINATOR.
A prime coat of MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON) or beads of
POINTING MASTIC can be used to secure the protection
to the wall.
Polystyrene insulation boards can be applied only if the
membrane has thoroughly cured (72 hrs. minimum) and
there is no danger of residual solvent degrading the
boards.
Allow 48 hours for complete cure of membrane prior to
backfilling.

HRM 714
HRM 714 is hot-applied to form a continuous elastomeric
membrane. It is ideal for waterproofing bridge, parking,
plaza, or promenade decks; tunnels; pedestrian
concourses; and similar types of construction where a
monolithic waterproofing membrane is desirable.
APPLICATION
Positive slab drainage is recommended by means of
a minimum 1/8” (3 mm) in 12” (300 mm) slope and
preferably 1/4” (6 mm) in 12” (300 mm) slope to adequate
drainage.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

22 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

Equipment … Use an insulated, double-shell, oil-jacketed

kettle. Do not use a direct-fired roofer’s kettle. The
melting kettle requires an engine-driven agitator and
thermometers for both the oil and the compound.
A positive high limit control which will shut down the
heating system if the heat transfer oil or the compound
reaches the safe heating limit is recommended.
Preferable is a totally automatic temperature control
system controlling both the heat transfer oil temperature
and the compound temperature.
Highly advantageous is a pressure draw-off and applica-
tion system including a pump, high pressure/high tem-
perature insulated hose, and piping to provide constant
recirculation of the compound. An air pressure means
of purging the hose and pipe lines of the compound at
shut-down should also be included.
Heating … On start-up, raise the oil bath temperature to
450° F (230° C) maximum. Place HRM 714 into the kettle.
Do not remove the polyethylene liner. Its incorporation
into the material does not affect its performance. As the
compound becomes fluid, add additional quantities up to
the required amount, agitating continuously.
Recommended pouring temperature range is 360° - 400° F
(182° - 205° C). Do not hold material at pouring tempera-
ture for longer than five hours. If pouring is to be delayed,
reduce temperature to between 270° - 320° F (132° - 160°
C) and hold until pouring is to be resumed. Do not heat
the compound above 410° F (210° C).
Prolonged heating (longer than five hours) or heating
above 410° F (210° C) may cause the compound to gel in
the melter. A rapid increase in viscosity of the material

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 23

accompanied by stringiness indicates that gelling has

begun. The compound temperature must be reduced
promptly or the material should be removed promptly
from the kettle.
Surface Preparation … Prior to commencement of the
waterproofing application, the following preparation may
be necessary:
Chip or grind off concrete spills from subsequent pours.
Fill depressions in the concrete left by form boards, foot-
prints, screed rail chairs, etc. with MEADOW-PATCH 5 from
W. R. MEADOWS. Remove areas of heavy laitance with a
grinder, brush hammer, scabbler, or similar device.
Grind off sharp projections, fishtails, and sharp corners.
Patch honeycombed concrete with MEADOW-PATCH 5.
On existing structures, remove old waterproofing.
Remove lightly scaled concrete down to sound concrete
and restore to proper cross section and grade with a
Portland cement mixture. Where scaled and spalled
concrete exposes reinforcing steel, remove concrete to
below exposed steel and replace with MEADOW-CRETE
GPS from W. R. MEADOWS.
Do not use hot-mix patching to level up a deck prior to
waterproofing.
Concrete surface suitable for membrane application
should be wood-float finish or better and be clean and
free of oil, grease, curing compounds, dampness, frost,
dust, or loose particles that could affect penetration of the
adhesive and adhesion of HRM 714. Sand-blasting and
vacuuming are recommended after which no traffic
should be permitted in the area.

For proper surface conditioning application and tech-

niques, contact W. R. MEADOWS technical services.
Cracks, Joints, Other Discontinuities … In cracks up to 1/8”
(3 mm) wide, construction joints, and changes in plane,
where no movement is expected, fill cracks and joints and
coat area with HRM 714 1/8” (3 mm) thick x 10” (250 mm)
wide centered over the crack and embed a 6” (150 mm)
strip of REINFORCING FABRIC HCR into the HRM 714 while
it is still hot, ensuring that air is not trapped. Allow to cool
before applying the final coat of HRM 714.
Cracks over 1/8” (3 mm) wide should be repaired with high
density concrete and cover using a 9” (225 mm) wide, 30
mil thick REINFORCING FABRIC HCR embedded in a 1/8”
(3 mm) x 12” (300 mm) wide coat of HRM 714 centered
over the crack.
Expansion joints up to 1” (25 mm): Drape an 18” (450 mm)
wide sheet of reinforced butyl or neoprene rubber (mini-
mum 60 mil thick) into the joint in a “U” shape to a depth
twice the width of the opening. Where joints are already
filled with a sealant that may not be compatible with HRM
714, stop membrane application short of the expansion
joint edge and embed sheeting over the joint, using a
backer rope and extending at least 8” (20 mm) on each
side of the expansion joint. Apply a 1/8” (3 mm) x 13”
(330 mm) wide coating of HRM 714 to the deck on each
side of the joint and place the rubber sheet into it, while
the HRM 714 is still hot. Lap all end laps of reinforcing
sheet 6” (150 mm) and seal with HRM 714. Allow to cool
before applying the final coat of HRM 714 membrane.
Expansion joints 1” (25 mm) or more wide: refer to
W. R. MEADOWS technical services or approved applicator.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 25

Surface Conditioning … Apply MEL-PRIME solvent-based

adhesive to surfaces that will be waterproofed at a cover-
age rate of 250 - 300 ft.²/gal (6.14 - 7.37 m²/L). Make sure
surface dries to tack-free before application of HRM 714.
Flashing … Wash surfaces of all metal, including flashings,
vents, drains, etc., with solvent, dry with clean cloths, and
condition with MEL-PRIME solvent-based adhesive.
Allow MEL-PRIME to dry before applying HRM 714 membrane.
Vertical Surfaces … Apply 1/8” (3 mm) coating of HRM
714 a minimum of 6” (150 mm) or more as required up
vertical surfaces to a height which is greater than the max-
imum depth of water which may be ponded due to the
operation of a controlled flow drain, temporary drain
blockage, etc. Apply 1/8” (3 mm) thick HRM 714 coating
6” (150 mm) onto concrete deck and, while the HRM 714 is
still hot, embed 6” (150 mm) wide REINFORCING FABRIC
HCR (47 mil thick) placed 3” (75 mm) vertically and 3”
(75 mm) horizontally. Allow to cool before applying the
final coat of HRM 714 membrane.
Drains … Coat area 16” (400 mm) wide around drain with
HRM 714. Place REINFORCING FABRIC HCR (47 mils thick)
over the coated drain flange, extending 12” (300 mm)
around flange. Allow to cool before applying the final
coat of HRM 714 membrane.
COMPOUND APPLICATION
Apply HRM 714 evenly by flowing onto the deck and spread
with a squeegee to a minimum recommended thickness of
1/8” (3 mm) or more, as specified, covering all previously
placed material over cracks, joints, flashings, etc.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

26 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

HRM 714 may be applied to vertical and horizontal surfaces.

Avoid air entrapment. The membrane should be uniform in
thickness as possible and essentially free of visible pinholes
and blisters. After completion of membrane application,
complete successive steps as soon as possible.
When HRM 714 is applied over a steel deck overlaid with
gypsum board or plywood, no adhesive is required. Cover
joints between gypsum board or plywood sheets with a
6” (150 mm) wide spun-bonded polyester (10 mil) pressed
into a 1/16” (1.5 mm) thick layer of HRM 714. Be sure to
remove air pockets, then apply a 1/16” (1.5 mm) coat of
HRM 714 over the entire area. A layer of 39” (991 mm)
wide spun-bonded polyester (10 mil) reinforcement sheet
should be applied over the hot membrane. Apply the
reinforcement sheet parallel with the longer dimension of
the gypsum board or plywood sheets. Lap the reinforce-
ment 2” (50 mm) and bond lap with HRM 714. Apply a
second layer of HRM 714 at a minimum thickness of 1/8”
(3 mm) to completely embed the reinforcement fabric.
PROTECTION
Install PROTECTION COURSE from W. R. MEADOWS to pro-
tect the membrane from damage during construction or
backfill operations. If a delay of 48 hours or more is antici-
pated in the application of the next phase of construction,
flood coat the PROTECTION COURSE with roofing asphalt.
Alternatively, place a temporary cover of polyethylene film
over the HRM 714 membrane and keep free of traffic until
PROTECTION COURSE can be installed and covered.
If a hot-mix asphaltic wearing surface is to be applied,
place PROTECTION COURSE while the HRM 714 mem-
brane is still tacky. Apply an emulsion primer tack-coat to

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 27

PROTECTION COURSE and place the asphaltic surface

promptly. The asphaltic pavement should be at least 2”
(50 mm) thick. Alternatively, install 2 – 3” (50 – 75 mm) of
no-fines concrete over PROTECTION COURSE to serve as a
percolation layer which is stable and which will withstand
construction traffic. This percolation layer improves
drainage and prevents damage due to ice formation and
is, therefore, preferable to the use of compacted screenings
as an underlay for an asphaltic wearing surface.
Similarly, a no-fines concrete percolation layer is recom-
mended under exposed concrete slabs and under land-
scaped areas. Cover the no-fines concrete with a filtration
sheet, such as spun-bonded nylon (1.5 oz. per sq. yd.) to
keep the fines from landscaping soil from clogging the
percolation layer.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not leave permanently exposed. Do not apply to
concrete surfaces which are not properly conditioned.
Do not apply to lightweight concrete containing moisture.
Application of adhesive and membrane at ambient tem-
peratures below 40° F (5° C) requires extra care in surface
conditioning.
HRM 714 is not compatible with pitch or derivatives of
coal tar.
HYDRALASTIC 836
HYDRALASTIC 836 can be used on interior or exterior
concrete surfaces, where protection from water intrusion
is desired. The product can be used for both above-grade
and below-grade applications.
HYDRALASTIC 836 is excellent for horizontal and vertical

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

28 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

applications, such as waterproofing plaza decks, planter

boxes, and sealing parapets. The product is ideal for
positive-side waterproofing for foundations and also in
between-slab applications. HYDRALASTIC 836 can also
be used in vertical applications.
APPLICATION
Surface Preparation … HYDRALASTIC 836 is intended for
concrete, asphalt, metal, and wood surfaces. These surfaces
need to be free of all coatings, such as curing compounds,
sealers, etc. These surfaces may need to be cleaned by
sand blasting, power washing, wire brushing, and any
other suitable cleaning techniques. Use alcohol to remove
all dirt, oil, loose paint, frost, and other contamination from
all working surfaces. DO NOT USE petroleum solvents such
as mineral spirits or xylene. In cold temperatures, the
surface must be free of frost.
Do not use asphalt-based products on concrete or metal
surfaces. Do not condition any concrete or metal surfaces
with asphalt primer. Asphalt primer acts as a bond
breaker and softens the cured material. Residual asphalt
or old, non-live coal tar pitch-coated surfaces are OK.
In this case, a sample area test is suggested.
Mixing … Gentle mixing may be necessary if product has
settled.
Application Method … Make sure product is at room tem-
perature (store at room temperature for 24 hours) before
application to ensure ease of application. Apply by trowel,
squeegee, or roller. A flat-blade squeegee is suggested for
best results. Notched rubber squeegees waste material
and do not provide a uniform coat. Flat-blade squeegees

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 29

provide a uniform mil thickness. In cool weather the

ribbons of adhesive caused by a notched squeegee may
not level out.
Test periodically to make sure adequate adhesion is
achieved. HYDRALASTIC 836 has a work life of one hour,
so make sure all spreading and finessing of the product is
done within this timeframe. For critical waterproofing
applications, or if reinforcing fabric is required, use
REINFORCING FABRIC HCR from W. R. MEADOWS.
If a second coat is necessary, apply as soon as possible,
but no more than eight hours apart. As ambient tempera-
tures and surface temperatures increase [80° - 85° F (26.6°
- 29.4° C)], the oils in the product rise to the surface and
act as a bond breaker.
For next-day applications, rub the tie-in area down [6"- 8"
(152 – 203 mm wide)] with acetone or alcohol. This
removes the oil film.
Protect the Membrane … On all vertical and horizontal
installation with PERMINATOR, PROTECTION COURSE
(PC2), or MEL-DRAIN from W. R. MEADOWS. Application of
protection should be done after material can be walked on.
HYDRALASTIC 836 will not wash off if rain begins during or
after application. But, all work shall stop if rain commences.
Drying Time … HYDRALASTIC 836 features a fast drying
time. Drying time is usually four hours, depending on
temperature. After four hours, another coat can be applied.
Cleanup … Uncured HYDRALASTIC 836 cleans up easily
with alcohol.
Cured material is best removed by mechanical means.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

30 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

PRECAUTIONS
HYDRALASTIC 836 is not recommended in areas subject to
continuous immersion. For this purpose, use the GEMITE
line of products. Do not use on surfaces that are later to
be painted. Do not store in high temps. Refer to Safety
Data Sheet for health and safety information.
MEL-DRAIN
Used in conjunction with a total W. R. MEADOWS
moisture protection system, MEL-DRAIN is the ideal choice
for enhanced waterproofing protection of basement walls,
plaza decks, earth-sheltered homes, commercial buildings,
retaining walls, underground parking, site drainage, etc.
For vertical, below-grade applications, unroll MEL-DRAIN
with flat, core side against the wall or waterproofing
material. POINTING MASTIC or MEL-PRIME are excellent
adhesives compatible with this installation. The flat side
core lip is overlapped to provide a continuous drainage
layer. Extra filter fabric is provided at the edges for
overlapping with the next sheet. MEL-DRAIN is easily
cut with construction knives or scissors.
For horizontal applications, unroll and overlap so that
water runs with overlap. Add appropriate ballast as
needed to hold down drainage board.
If MEL-DRAIN is used with MEL-ROL LM or MEL-ROL LM
(ALL SEASON), use plastic-backed MEL-DRAIN to prevent
waterproofing membrane from being pushed into
plastic core.

PREMOULDED MEMBRANE VAPOR SEAL WITH

PLASMATIC CORE (PMPC)
PMPC, when properly applied, is designed to stop
moisture migration (liquid or vapor) in footings, concrete
floor slabs and structural slabs, which greatly reduces fun-
gus, mildew and mold. It is especially useful under slabs
overlaid with wood, tile, epoxy and urethane coatings,
carpeting and resilient or seamless flooring systems, since
it helps prevent warping and buckling caused by moisture
migration. PMPC also greatly reduces radon gas from
entering the structure.
When estimating the amount of PMPC required, figure
the actual area plus 20% for overlap when using sheets.
For rolls, figure actual areas, plus 12% for overlap.
PMPC can be cut with a roofer’s or linoleum knife, using a
straight edge.

Normally to facilitate bending at a change in plane, such

as at corners or footings, a 2” x 4” can be used to make the
bend. In cold weather conditions, lightly heat the bending
area and make the bend.
Pointing with POINTING MASTIC should be done wherever
an edge is exposed to prevent water from traveling under
a sheet.
By installing PMPC on the ground prior to placing the
concrete floor, moisture will be prevented from coming
through the floor slab.
In addition to the horizontal on or below-grade applica-
tion, PMPC can be placed on the intermediate structural
slab, forming a “sandwich slab” installation. As a result,
moisture is prevented from filtering downward from

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

32 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

mechanical floors dedicated to heating and air conditioning

equipment. This helps prevent damage to lower floor levels.
PMPC can be applied directly over tamped grade, because
it does not require a gravel bed, a bed of sand and/or
“crusher rock” prior to the installation of the floor slab,
although these practices are acceptable. If PMPC is to be
placed over a large angular fill, see 4.1.4 of ACI 302.1R-04
for recommendations. Material is placed in position by
either the “Dutch Lap” method with laps sealed with
CATALYIC BONDING ASPHALT, or by the “butt-joint”
method with joints sealed with PMPC TAPE poly-side up.
These methods provide a permanent, monolithic vapor
seal, without voids or open seams. If desired, on structural
floor slabs of multi-level buildings, sheets may be placed
in a bed of hot asphalt for continuous adhesion. Remove
plastic film at joints prior to applying CATALYTIC BONDING
ASPHALT or PMPC TAPE.
PERMINATOR
PERMINATOR underslab vapor barrier is primarily designed
for underslab construction, where the soil has been
tamped and leveled or compacted fill has been applied.
The 200’ (61m) long sheets are unrolled as is or cut to size
and installed using the overlapping method. Overlaps are
6” wide and these seams are sealed using 4” wide
PERMINATOR TAPE.
PERMINATOR can also be used as a protection course for
waterproofing membranes. The desired sheet lengths are
cut to size and retained at the top of the waterproofing
membranes by PERMINATOR TAPE or TERMINATION BAR.
Level, tamp or roll earth or granular material beneath the
slab base as specified by supplied architectural drawings.
Follow ASTM E-1643-10. (Standard practice and procedure

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 33

for installation of vapor retarder used in contact with

earth or fill under concrete slabs.) For sub-grade prepara-
tion prior to placement of PERMINATOR, please see ACI
302.1R.17.
Horizontal Application …Unroll 200’ (61 m) PERMINATOR
over the area where the slab is to be poured. Cut to size if
necessary. PERMINATOR should completely cover the pour
area. All joints/seams, both lateral and butt, should be
overlapped 6” and taped using 4” wide PERMINATOR TAPE.
(Note: The PERMINATOR TAPE area of adhesion should be
free from dust, dirt and moisture to allow maximum
adhesion of the pressure-sensitive tape.)
The most efficient installation method includes placing
PERMINATOR on top of the footing and against the vertical
wall. This will sandwich PERMINATOR between the footing,
vertical wall and poured concrete floor. This will help
protect the concrete slab from external moisture sources
once the slab has been placed.
Before placing concrete slab, make sure all penetrations,
block-outs and damaged areas are repaired/addressed.
Numerous municipal building codes do not allow the
placement of vapor barriers over the footing, due to
breaking of the bond between the wall and footing.
Although this is not an optimal application method,
W. R. MEADOWS approves this alternate method when
required by building code.
Cut a slit around pipes, ductwork, rebar, and wire penetra-
tions to place the initial layer of PERMINATOR. To further
protect the concrete slab from external moisture sources,
use a piece of PERMINATOR and place a collar around this
as well.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

34 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

1. Cut a piece of PERMINATOR a minimum width of 12”.

The length should be 1 1/2 times the pipe circumference.
With a roofer’s knife or scissors, cut “fingers” half the width
of the film.
2. Wrap around and tape the collar onto the pipe and
completely tape fingers to the bottom layer of PERMINATOR.
Using POINTING MASTIC as the sealant around clusters of
pipe or conduit can be also be used.
In the event that PERMINATOR is damaged during or after
installation, repairs must be made. Cut a piece of PERMI-
NATOR large enough to cover any damage by a minimum
overlap of 6” in all directions. Clean all adhesion areas of
dust, dirt and moisture. Tape down all edges using
PERMINATOR TAPE.
NOTE: It is not necessary to overlay PERMINATOR with
gravel or sand. PERMINATOR is tough enough to with-
stand normal construction abuse and traffic. Most flooring
companies recommend the placement of the concrete
slab directly on the vapor barrier. We agree, since this
eliminates the potential for trapping moisture in a blotter-
effect, causing it to resurface through the slab into the
flooring systems. Consult local building codes and
regulations, plus architectural and design firm guidelines,
prior to application.
Vertical Wall Application …Install MEL-ROL waterproofing
membrane or MEL-ROL LM liquid waterproofing membrane
according to installation instructions. While the membrane
is still tacky, install PERMINATOR as a protective course
over the applied waterproofing membrane. Using TERMI-
NATION BAR with concrete nails or PERMINATOR TAPE at
the termination of the waterproofing membrane is advis-
able in some applications. Supervised care must be taken
during backfilling against the material so that it is not

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

damaged or punctured. If damage occurs, patch using the

techniques outlined previously.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS

WATERPROOFING INSULATED CONCRETE

FORMS (ICF)
At W. R. MEADOWS, we get many questions about the
proper way to waterproof ICFs. The use of our MEL-ROL
and MEL-ROL LM as the overall waterproofing membrane
will work for this type of application.
The following products will be used in waterproofing ICFs:
BEM Protective Wear
MEL-ROL LIQUID MEMBRANE Razor Knife
MEL-ROL Sprayer
MEL-ROL LM Straight Edge
TERMINATION BAR Tile Roller
Surface Preparation … Remove any oxidized foam (rasp)
from the surface.

Joint Treatment … All joints in the ICF need to be addressed.

For applications of MEL-ROL, if joints in the ICF are wider
than ¼”, they should be filled with either MEL-ROL LIQUID
MEMBRANE or BEM prior to priming and installation of the
waterproofing membrane. Also pay close attention to
where the wall meets the footing. This area should be
treated with BEM or MEL-ROL LIQUID MEMBRANE. This
treatment creates a cant where the wall meets the footing.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

36 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

In applications of MEL-ROL LM, all joints need to be filled

with BEM.

Priming … When using MEL-ROL to waterproof the ICF,

priming must be done. MEL-ROL LM should be used as the
primer. The prime-coat should be in the range of 5-10 mils.
After proper priming (if required) and joint detail, the ICF
surface is ready for the application of MEL-ROL or MEL-ROL
LM. Apply the product as outlined in the applications direc-
tions listed previously. When using MEL-ROL, TERMINATION
BAR is required to seal the top edge.

After proper priming (if required) and joint detail, the ICF
surface is ready for the application of MEL-ROL or MEL-
ROL LM. Apply the product as outlined in the applications
directions listed previously. When using MEL-ROL,
TERMINATION BAR is required to seal the top edge.

SPRAYER EQUIPMENT
Extensive field testing has shown that the Graco GH 833
Big Rig or Hydra Max 350 (now obsolete) sprayers work
best for spraying of the water-based MEL-ROL LM and
MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON) products. We are not aware of
any other types of sprayers being used successfully with
our products. Initially, we had used the Gmax 7900 Roof
Rig, but we have found that the pressures (4000 psi) at-
tained by the Graco GH 833 Big Rig and Hydra Max 350
units yield more consistent, trouble-free results. The
Graco GH 833 Big Rig and Hydra Max 350 units are
capable of a 3.5 – 4.0 gal./min. (13.2-15.1 L/min.) output,
compared to a 2.1 gal./min. (7.9 L/min.) for the Gmax
7900 Roof Rig. The water-based emulsion products are
extremely shear sensitive and should NOT be applied

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 37

through gear-type pumps or pressurized follower plate

systems. These systems will cause the emulsions to break,
which will then clog the equipment. MEL-ROL LM (ALL
SEASON) is not shear sensitive and will remain stable
when applied by most standard spray equipment.

The Graco GH 833 Big Rig unit come equipped with 100’
of hose, a texture spray gun, and several tips. NOTE: The
standpipe on the sprayer MUST be opened and checked
for the presence of a filter element and plastic sleeve.
These MUST BOTH be removed prior to use, as they will
cause clogging.

Both the Graco GH 833 Big Rig and Hydra Max 350 can
be used for five-gal. pails or 55-gal. drums. Extensions on
the pumps are able to create enough suction to allow
material to be pulled from the top of a standing drum
(or tote) of product. (An option available for the Graco GH
833 Big Rig allows the pump to be placed directly over a
drum for improved pumping of thicker materials in cooler
weather.)

EQUIPMENT
Hose -We have used up to 100’ of hose with these products.
(Longer lengths may work; possibly up to 150’) The hose
must be rated for use up to 4000 psi for these units. W. R.
MEADOWS recommends using separate hoses specific to
each material.
Spray Gun -The Graco heavy duty texture gun is required
(part #241705). It does not contain a paint filter and works
well for these products. Other Graco guns have not
worked, as they contain a diverter pin in the spray nozzle
that will constantly clog the gun.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

38 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

Spray Tips -We have used the 0.051” (Graco 551,651) tip
successfully for spraying and this is our preferred tip size
for the MEL-ROL LM products.
APPLICATION
Priming -Priming of poured concrete substrates is recom-
mended to minimize the potential for blistering of the
membrane after it is applied and when exposed to direct
sunlight. Once applied, the primer coat should be allowed
to dry and be allowed to “warm up” while exposed to direct
sunlight. Allowing the primer to be exposed to direct
sunlight prior to the membrane application will allow the
surface to “warm up” (due to the black color) and help
“de-gas” the surface. This “de-gassing” releases the
air/moisture vapors in the pores of the substrate, allowing
them to expand and dissipate prior to the membrane
application. If the primer is not exposed to direct sunlight
for a sufficient time interval prior to membrane applica-
tion, then blistering of the membrane may occur.
Primer Dilution/Application Rate - Dilute the water-based
LM products 4-5 parts product to one part water. Apply at
100-150 ft.²/gal. (2.4 – 3.6 m²/L) and allow to dry approxi-
mately one hour. MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON) does not
need to be diluted and should also be applied at
100-150 ft.²/gal. (2.4 – 3.6 m²/L)

APPLICATION - MEMBRANE
Spray-Several coats may be required to obtain the recom-
mended thickness without excessive running or slumping
of the wet membrane in hot weather. Allow the first coat
to dry approximately one hour before application of the
second coat.
NOTE: MEL-ROL LM can be sprayed easily when the
material temperature is 40°F (4.4° C) or above.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 39

The material temperature of MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON)

should be 60° F (15.6° C) or above to be successfully
sprayed. These products become quite thick and more
difficult to spray as temperatures fall below 60° F. (15.6° C)
The ALL SEASON products should be stored at 60° F (15.6°
C) or above prior to use, and the containers should be
kept in a heated enclosure at the jobsite during cold
weather.
Roller-Material can be roller applied if a ¾” (19.05 mm)
minimum nap roller is used. Several coats will typically be
required to obtain the desired thickness. Allow the first
coat to dry thoroughly before second coat is applied.
Foam-type rollers or shorter naps should not be used, as
they will simply slide on the substrate. Rinse and store all
rollers used for water-based products in a container of
water when not in use. This is necessary, as the material
will cure very quickly on the rollers if allowed to “dry out.”
If this does occur, the rollers will need to be discarded or
cleaned with solvent and allowed to dry thoroughly prior
to re-use.

EQUIPMENT CLEANUP
MEL-ROL LM:
1) Solvents must NOT come in contact with the liquid
emulsion MEL-ROL LM while in the sprayer, as they will
immediately break the emulsion and plug up the entire
sprayer system.
2) Before starting to spray, the sprayer MUST be flushed
with clean water.
3) When spraying is complete, material must NOT be left
in the pump, lines or gun as the MEL-ROL LM emulsion
will quickly begin to break and cure in the equipment.
When finished spraying, WATER ONLY should be

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

40 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems

PROMPTLY flushed through the system until pump and

hose run clear. Do NOT add soap to the flush water, as it
too will break the emulsion. “Simple Green” cleaner is the
only cleaner found that can be used successfully.
4) When spraying is complete, solvents, including xylene,
toluene, mineral spirits, paint thinner, gasoline, etc., must
NOT be used for the INITIAL flushing of the system. These
solvents will break the emulsion and clog the system.
5) Aromatic solvents (xylene or toluene) are recom-
mended for the FINAL flushing AFTER water has been
flushed through the pump and lines. If solvent is pumped
through the system after being flushed with water, all
equipment MUST be flushed with water before spraying
emulsion. All traces of solvent MUST be completely
removed. Note: Aromatic solvent may be used to soak
and clean the pump housing, gun, and tips. Solvents can
be left in the sprayer for short durations (days) to aid in
cleaning of the system. Solvents left in the sprayer for
extended periods may begin to degrade the seals and
hose. Again, all traces of solvent MUST be removed prior
to using the equipment with the water-based emulsion
products.

MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON):

1) While MEL-ROL LM (ALL SEASON) is stable in the
sprayer, once spraying is complete, solvents should be
flushed through the system until pump and hose run
clear. Aromatic solvents (xylene or toluene) work best,
but mineral spirits, paint thinner, etc., can also be used.
Solvents can be left in the sprayer for short periods of
time, but should NOT be allowed to remain in the sprayer
for extended periods of time, as they may begin to
degrade the seals and hose.

WATERPROOFING & VAPORPROOFING

 Waterproofing & Vaporproofing Systems 41

2) When switching from a solvent-based to a water-

based product: After flushing with solvent, water MUST
be flushed through the ENTIRE system until all traces of
solvent have been removed. When beginning to spray a
water-based emulsion product, if ANY solvent remains in
the sprayer, the pump, hose, gun, and spray tips WILL
CLOG and need to be cleaned out.
