TREMproof® PUMA is a cold-applied, waterproofing system that utilizes polyurethane-methacrylate (PUMA) technology. PUMA waterproofing system offers superior elongation over traditional MMA/PMMA technology systems. TREMproof PUMA is composed of a primer (Tremco PUMA Primer), a base coat (Tremco PUMA BC or Tremco PUMA BC LM), and a top coat (Tremco PUMA TC). All system components are cured using Tremco PUMA Initiator+.
PUMA technology can be used in both traffic coating (Vulkem EWS) and below grade (TREMproof PUMA) applications.
Concrete shall be water cured and attain a 4000 PSI minimum compressive strength for vehicular or heavy duty traffic and 3000 PSI minimum for pedestrian, buried or non-traffic bearing systems. All concrete shall be shotblast to a ICRI CSP #3-#4 finish. Moisture content in the concrete must be lower than 6% as measured using a Tramex CME 4 Moisture Meter. Depending on concrete construction and job site location, additional concrete testing may be required. Please contact your local Tremco Sales or Technical Representative.
Each layer of all PUMA technology systems cure in 30-45 minutes and the next coat can be applied at that time. In fact, they can be opened up to traffic one hour after installation is complete. Please contact your local Tremco Sales or Technical Representative when choosing the appropriate system for your application.
