M-SEAL® VM500

• Provides excellent electrical insulation in both wet and dry conditions.
• A self-adhesive membrane with excellent adhesion to the concrete substrate, for both floor and wall applications. Use CJ-200-15 Adhesive Primer (water-based). No torch-on or hot-iron requirements needed for installation, so no harsh or hazardous fumes are created.
• Bonds to most types of surfaces (concrete, steel, ceramic, PVC pipe) with the use of CJ-200-15
  Adhesive Primer.
• Fast and easy to install compared to conventional membrane systems.
• A geotextile top layer for high performance bonding to concrete topping slabs and to screed coatings of various thicknesses. Also prevents the migration of water between membrane and finishes.
• Can withstand up to 5.73 x 10^14 ohm-cm at a thickness of 2.5mm.
• High crack bridging capabilities of up to 2mm.
• Produced from a special SBS Modified rubber composition with both the adhesive bottom layer and the geotextile top layer bonded during the manufacturing process.
• No bentonite present so the product does not expand and break-up in water and/or wash from the joint, removing the potential of voids between slab/wall and finishes. SBS Modified rubber gives long-term durability and integrity to the product and in-turn to the joint and substrate.

• Railway station platform slabs and walls.
• Viaducts and Bridges.
• Power Stations and Utilities.
• Electrical Riser Rooms.
• Base slabs, walls and roofs for waterproofing (a topping slab must be applied)

Note : The product’s design and performance, its intended use, installation and final confirmation and approval for use, must be provided by the project’s Design Engineer and Project Manager.

1. Clean the concrete surface using a stiff brush or with high pressure air to remove any loose dirt and debris. Remove any exposed high or sharp points on the concrete surface, which may prevent the M-Seal® VM500 membrane from adhering fully to the surface or from being punctured. Any major holes or voids in the concrete surface should be filled with an application of a cement mortar in order to level the surface to the same level as the current concrete surface where the membrane is to be applied.
2. Apply one layer of CJ-200-15 Adhesive Primer onto a clean, dry, concrete surface, using a roller or brush. Allow the CJ-200-15 Adhesive Primer to become tacky (approximate drying time is 10-20 minutes, depending upon the current ambient temperature) before installing the M-Seal® VM500 membrane.
3. Remove the release paper from the adhesive side of the M-Seal® VM500 membrane and apply the membrane onto the primed surface with the rubber section being applied directly on to the concrete primed surface.
4. Press the entire surface of M-Seal® VM500 membrane firmly into place using a medium or hard surface roller to ensure full bonding of the membrane is achieved and to make sure that all air pockets are removed.
5. For joining of the membrane, where the overlap sections of M-Seal® VM500 membrane meet, provide an overlap cover of the membrane to the other already applied membrane, of not less than 50mm up to 100mm, and firmly press the overlapping piece onto the underlying piece to fully seal the seam.
6. The M-Seal® VM500 membrane is now ready for the application of the topping slab or the wall cement render. Prior to applying the secondary concrete layer, especially for a topping slab, make sure that there are no stones or loose items on top of the membrane, and that it is fully clean and free of any loose dirt and debris.

   The above installation procedures should be followed for wall applications and columns.

7. For special installation requirements for PSD’s (Platform Screen Doors), isolation joints, columns and doorways, please refer to CORKJOINT for further information.

• Roll Weight: 37kg

The voltage isolation and waterproof membrane where shown on the drawings, shall be M-Seal® VM500 as supplied by CORKJOINT. The membrane system must be a special SBS Modified rubber, have a maximum thickness of 2.5mm, be a fully bonded system that has self-adhesive properties for installation and have concrete crack-bridging capabilities of up to 2.0mm. The voltage electrical resistance levels must be >5.5 x 10^14 ohm-cm and testing must be carried out in accordance to ASTM D257 by a certified independent laboratory. The membrane is to be installed in accordance to the manufacturer’s required installation guidelines, and to the Design Engineer’s specification.
