    Armotex non-woven polypropylene reinforcement fabric for MATEX liquid waterproofing membranes

    Armotex

    Non-Woven Polypropylene Fabric for Waterproofing Membrane Reinforcement

    ARMOTEX is a high-performance, non-woven polypropylene fabric designed for reinforcing waterproofing membranes. It bonds seamlessly with membranes, providing excellent moisture resistance, breathability, and flexibility. ARMOTEX enhances the mechanical strength of the system, particularly in critical areas like corners, joints, and zones prone to deformation or cracking, while maintaining the membrane’s elasticity. Lightweight, economical, and easy to install even on complex surfaces, it adapts to all substrate profiles. With superior impact resistance, strong tear and tensile strength, and alkali resistance, ARMOTEX is ideal for projects in tropical climates where durability and long-term waterproofing performance are critical.

    How to Apply Armotex

    Armotex is embedded between two coats of a MATEX liquid applied waterproofing membrane while the first coat is still fresh.

    1. Prepare the substrate. Surfaces must be sound, clean, dry and free from loose material, efflorescence, laitance, curing compounds, dirt, oil and grease, and must be mechanically cleaned; grinding may be needed to level the surface. Cementitious render must be cured for at least 7 days and absorbent surfaces dampened with water before application.
    2. Prepare the liquid membrane. Armotex is a sheet and needs no mixing. Prepare the liquid membrane as described in its own Technical Data Sheet or Method Statement.
    3. Apply the first membrane coat. Apply a coat of the MATEX waterproofing membrane manually in a uniform 1 mm thick layer.
    4. Lay and embed Armotex. While the membrane is still fresh, lay Armotex onto the surface and press it firmly, overlapping adjacent sheets by at least 5 cm at longitudinal and transverse junctions. Press it in with a roller, squeegee or brush so it is fully wetted, with no air bubbles or creases.
    5. Apply the second coat. Once the first coat is dry enough to walk on, apply a second coat of the waterproofing membrane to fully cover the Armotex sheet.
    6. Clean up. Clean tools as per the liquid membrane’s TDS. Vacuum any dust produced when cutting the fabric.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Armotex used for?

    Armotex is a non-woven polypropylene fabric embedded in waterproofing membranes to reinforce them, particularly at corners, construction joints and areas prone to deformation or cracking. Typical uses include containment basins, foundations, pools, wet rooms, roofs, retaining walls and terraces.

    How much should Armotex sheets overlap?

    Adjacent sheets must overlap by at least 5 cm at both longitudinal and transverse junctions.

    What are the technical properties of Armotex?

    Armotex is a white fabric weighing 110 g/m², 1.00 mm thick, with tensile strength of 10 KN/m, 50% elongation and puncture resistance of 1650 N.

    How is Armotex supplied and stored?

    It comes in 1 x 200 m rolls. Stored cool and dry in original unopened packaging at +5°C to +35°C, it does not expire.
