Fireseal

It has UV inhibitors for longevity and is tested to a 3 metre head of water, making it ideal for concrete swimming pools and dams. Aquo P can be used in conjunction with Unison coverplate and firerating systems. It is suitable for most types of construction including internal and external expansion joint waterproofing: Multi-story carparks, rooftop carparks, hospitals, retail centres, amenities, stadiums (especially plats), convention centres.
