ONE-STEP SEAMLESS LIQUID
FOUNDATION WATERPROOFER
BLUE SEAL™ is a one-step, liquid applied, water-based waterproofing membrane for exterior foundation walls. Its ready to use formulation combines the features of a sealer, and an elastomeric waterproofing membrane based on ETV copolymer rubber. BLUE SEAL’s high solids content and soft creamy consistency make it effective for waterproofing and sealing concrete, polystyrene insulation board, foam insulation, Insulated Concrete Forms (I.C.F.)*, wood and other common surfaces. BLUE SEAL™ cures to a seamless, non-deteriorating rubber membrane that allows for expansion and contraction over a wide range of temperatures. It can easily bridge cracks up to 1.5 mm (1/16”). BLUE SEAL™ is V.O.C. compliant and does not contain any volatile or harmful solvents, eliminating health and environmental considerations during application. BLUE SEAL™ is non-toxic through the use of advanced polymer technology, allowing for simple, safe application and easy clean up.

PRODUCT USES
BLUE SEAL™ has been specifically formulated to provide seamless, positive exterior waterproofing for foundation walls. It may be applied to most surfaces, and is suitable for both new construction and restoration work. Typical applications include sloped and vertical, above or below grade surfaces such as:

• I.C.F. - Insulated Concrete Forms*
• New and existing foundation walls, concrete and foam board
• Concrete, wood, masonry, foam insulation, preserved wood foundations and other surfaces
• Exterior walls of mechanical and electrical rooms

WATER, MILDEW & MOLD CONTROL
Making the home leak-proof can be an expensive operation, but it can save the structural integrity of the home and prevent mold and mildew growth. Foundation drainage involving a foundation barrier combined with gravel backfill and perimeter drainage will protect against groundwater infiltration into the dwelling.

FEATURES
Save Time and Money -The cost to waterproof an average concrete block, I.C.F.* or poured concrete foundation with BLUE SEAL™ is comparable to most other currently available systems, with significant labour savings due to speed and ease of application. The application can be done immediately and quickly after the forms are removed, I.C.F.* panels positioned or the block is laid, resulting in little or no time delay on the building site.

Protects - Protects against water and air transmission, radon gases, fungi, algae and bacteria, and maintains its superior performance when exposed to common soil conditions.

Low Permeability - Prevents water and air transmission and inhibits moisture/vapour passage through porous building materials such as I.C.F. construction, cast-in-place concrete, and concrete block.

Highly Flexible - Advanced polymer formulation bridges cracks which can form in substrates and creates a seamless, flexible membrane (340% +- elongation with excellent memory).

Paintable - Dries to an ocean blue finish that can be painted.

Environmentally Compatible - Due to advanced technology, BLUE SEAL™ is non-toxic, solvent free, and VOC compliant with no objectionable odours, allowing for simple, safe application and easy soap and water clean up.

VCC (Visual Coverage Control) – Unique formulation makes it simple to determine when a surface has received proper coverage. When applied to the proper wet film thickness, BLUE SEAL™ dries to an ocean blue colour. Insufficient coverage will show up as a translucent lighter blue, indicating clearly, where additional material is required.

Liquid Applied - Simplifies detailing and assures a monolithic, seamless membrane when applied to a rough or smooth surface.

Simple to Apply - Can be applied by trowel, brush, spray or roller.

Excellent Adhesion - Bonds firmly to the substrate even when applied over a damp surface.


BLUE STUFF HAS CHANGED ITS NAME TO BLUE SEAL - Effective 2004 Blue Stuff will be known as BLUE SEAL "the ultimate waterproof rubber membrane" with an improved formulation focussed on the I.C.F. and Concrete Foundation Waterproofing industry.
