A Class III waterproofing membrane is a membrane classification, not a waterproofing system. In accordance with the applicable classification requirements, Class III refers to a high-extensibility membrane with an elongation at break of 300% or greater. While high extensibility allows the membrane to accommodate movement within its design parameters, elongation performance alone does not determine the suitability of a membrane for every waterproofing application.
Membrane classification provides a standard framework for categorising waterproofing materials according to their physical properties and mechanical performance. Elongation at break is a key measure of a membrane’s ability to stretch before rupture, providing an indication of its extensibility.
In practical terms, high extensibility indicates that a membrane can undergo significant elongation before rupture. However, selecting an appropriate waterproofing solution requires more than evaluating elongation alone. Overall performance depends on the specific project requirements, substrate conditions, joint detailing and applicable Australian standards and specifications.
For suitably prepared concrete substrates, the following Liquimix product configurations may be specified according to project requirements and specifications:
Selecting the appropriate configuration depends on the condition of the concrete substrate, project requirements and specified application criteria. Liquimix focuses on appropriate configuration selection, thorough substrate preparation and compliance with relevant product and project specifications to support reliable membrane performance.
Application sequences should follow the project specifications and the latest Liquimix technical documentation. A typical workflow includes:
Note: For the exact application sequence and specific procedures for Civilox LV100 and broadcast Renderfill F300, refer to the latest Liquimix Technical Data Sheets (TDS) and project specifications.
Suitable application areas depend on the project specification, substrate conditions and selected Liquimix configuration. Consult Liquimix technical representatives and relevant project documentation to confirm application suitability.
Class III classification relates to membrane extensibility and does not, by itself, determine suitability for every waterproofing application. Always refer to the latest Liquimix Technical Data Sheet (TDS), project specifications and applicable Australian requirements.
