Vulkem NEM Plus: Single-Coat Polyurethane Waterproofing Membrane
Accelerate Your Project with High-Performance, Single-Coat Application
Vulkem NEM Plus is an Australian-made, single-component, moisture-curing polyurethane membrane designed for speed and reliability in fast-paced construction. Its key advantage is a high-build, single-coat application for horizontal surfaces, which dramatically reduces labour time and eliminates the risk of inter-coat delamination. This robust membrane boasts an exceptional 771% elongation, allowing it to accommodate significant structural movement without cracking. Successfully tested to AS 4654.1 and AS4858, it fully complies with the National Construction Code of Australia as a Class III membrane, providing certified peace of mind for demanding waterproofing applications.
Unmatched Efficiency and Flexibility for Tiled Areas
Vulkem NEM Plus is engineered for internal and external areas that will be protected by tiles or other coverings. It is the ideal solution for balconies, terraces, shower recesses, and bathrooms where a fast-track build is essential. The product cures to form a tough, seamless, and monolithic barrier with high tensile strength. Its single-coat application at 1.0mm DFT not only speeds up the project timeline but also simplifies the installation process, reducing potential application errors and ensuring a consistent, high-integrity membrane across the entire surface.
Ideal for Concrete and Other Common Substrates
This membrane is formulated for application over a variety of prepared substrates, most commonly concrete, cementitious screeds, and masonry. For optimal performance, surfaces must be sound, stable, and thoroughly dry, with concrete requiring a minimum compressive strength of 20 MPa. A key feature is its high solids content by volume (90%), which contributes to its high-build characteristics and low VOC content of less than 110 g/L, making it a more environmentally conscious choice on the worksite.
Trusted Australian Quality with Clear Usage Guidelines
As a product from Tremco CPG, Vulkem NEM Plus is backed by local expertise and stringent quality control. Supplied in a convenient 15-litre pail, it offers a coverage of approximately 13m² per pail. It is crucial to note its limitations: it is not designed as a trafficable or UV-stable surface and must be protected with tiles or a suitable topping. It cannot be applied to damp surfaces and is not for below-grade use. For projects requiring a fast-curing, reliable, and code-compliant waterproofing layer, Vulkem NEM Plus is the superior choice.
