WATERGUARD GRS is a polyester nonwoven felt, reinforced with glass filament for greater durability It is based on technology developed by the FAIRMATE through continuous research and more than 30 years of experience in the waterproofing market WATERGUARD GRS is a high performance product that can satisfy a broad range of reinforcement requirements and the most demanding specifications. It combines the advantages of PET nonwovens with the strength of glass. By using WATERGUARD GRS, less liquid compounds are needed, resulting in lower costs It is easier to control the thickness of the waterproofing membranes when WATERGUARD GRS is used, thus the water proofing membrane is more uniform

1. WATERGUARD GRS
POLYESTER NON-WOVEN GLASS REINFORCED FIBRE MATT
FOR LIQUID WATERPROOFING

2. PET nonwovens Coated with bitumen Application:
Waterproofing of roofs

3.  Liquid waterproofing technology is used for the waterproofing of roofs
 Chemical compounds are applied to surfaces in liquid form and dry quickly to form a solid
waterproof Membrane
 Characteristics
 Seamless membranes: no joints vulnerable to water penetration
 Ease and speed of installation: fast and easy to install
 Long life: liquid waterproofing systems can provide a long-term lifespan in excess of 25
years
 Versatile: can be used on flat, pitched even domed roofs
 Method of installation
 A liquid primer is first applied on the roofing surface
 After allowing the primer to dry, the carrier (reinforcement) is laid on top
 The carrier is allowed to saturate fully and glued to the surface
 After the reinforcement dries fully, 2-3 courses of waterproofing liquid are added
 After curing, a resilient, fully bonded sheet is obtained which forms a good waterproofing
layer

4.  The carrier is responsible for the stability of the waterproofing membrane
 The carrier has to have high thermal stability and durability
 The carrier should also be flexible, as over a period of time small stresses
can cause ruptures in the membrane if it is breakable
 The carrier should also be easily impregnable

9. Why WATERGUARD GRS as a carrier ?Why WATERGUARD GRS as a carrier ?
WATERGUARD GRS OTHER SUBSTRATES
 Made of polyester, hence high
durability and flexibility
 High resistance to tear
 High stability during
application
 Longer life
 Less durability and flexibility
 More susceptible to tear
 Low elongation at break, more
unstable
 Shorter life due to poorer
quality of mater
