Newton System 400
The Revolutionary External Waterproofing Solution
Newton 400 HydroBond System - TYPE A
External Waterproofing
The Newton HydroBond System is a high-performance, Type A waterproofing system designed to be applied to the outside of the structure.
This system can be either pre-applied below the concrete raft/slab and wall building line, or post-applied where conventional formwork is removed to expose the outside of the basement walls.
Depending on the type of structure it is applied to, once installed, the combination of selected products within the HydroBond System can provide a continuous barrier around the full extent of the structure.
The HydroBond System can provide protection against both groundwater and ground gasses such as radon, methane, and carbon dioxide, depending on the products employed, making it the ideal solution where protection from any or all of these elements is required.
Type A Waterproofing
Type A waterproofing as “barrier protection” which is applied to either the internal or external surface of a structure in order to resist the pressure of water trying to enter the building.
Type A membranes are the products that are referred to when people talk about the process of “tanking” a basement in order to protect it from water ingress.
Barrier waterproofing membranes that can be applied to the external ‘positive’ side of the structure include both pre-applied, self-healing sheet membranes, and post-applied liquid membranes that can be linked to the above-ground DPC in order to completely encapsulate, or “tank”, the basement in a continuous waterproof layer.
