Waterproofing Membrane for Professional Applications: Elastoplastik 88 PRO

A waterproofing membrane is a critical component in modern construction, especially when durability, flexibility, and long-term protection are required. For professional applicators, selecting the right product means choosing reliability, ease of use, and certified performance.

ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO waterproofing membrane is a liquid elastomeric solution designed for both new constructions and renovation works. Its advanced formulation—based on organic compounds derived from asphaltic rock and synthetic elastomers—ensures superior performance in demanding environments. 

From roofs to terraces and foundations, ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO guarantees continuous waterproofing with excellent adhesion on multiple substrates, including concrete, metal, tiles, and existing bituminous membranes.

Why Choose ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO Waterproofing Membrane?

Continuous Protection Without Joints

Unlike traditional systems, the ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO waterproofing membrane creates a seamless layer, eliminating weak points such as overlaps and joints. This is crucial for complex surfaces and irregular geometries.

Exceptional Elasticity and Durability

ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO delivers elongation at break up to 1000%, allowing it to absorb structural movements without cracking. 

It is also highly resistant to:

  • UV radiation

  • Standing water

  • Extreme temperatures (-20°C to +150°C)

This makes ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO waterproofing membrane ideal for exposed surfaces such as roofs and terraces.

Fast and Versatile Application

ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO is ready-to-use and can be applied with:

  • Roller

  • Brush

  • Spatula

  • Airless spray

No primer is required in most cases, allowing professionals to speed up installation and reduce labor costs.

Waterproofing Membrane Applications with ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO

Roofs, Terraces, and Balconies

ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO waterproofing membrane is ideal for:

  • Renovating existing waterproofing systems

  • Waterproofing balconies without removing tiles

  • Creating under-tile waterproof layers

It works effectively even at minimal thickness (1–2 mm), ensuring high performance without adding excessive weight. 

Repair of Bituminous Membranes

A key advantage of ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO is its ability to repair degraded bituminous membranes. Instead of replacing the entire surface, applicators can:

  • Treat only failed joints

  • Reinforce critical areas with anti-crack support

  • Extend the lifespan of the system

This targeted approach reduces time and costs significantly.

Metal and Concrete Substrates

ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO waterproofing membrane adheres to a wide range of surfaces, including:

  • Reinforced concrete

  • Fibre cement

  • Metal, even if previously rusted (after proper cleaning)

It can also be applied on damp substrates, simplifying site conditions and reducing downtime.

Application System of ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO

For optimal performance, ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO waterproofing membrane should be applied in two coats:

  • First coat with anti-crack polyester reinforcement

  • Second coat after 24 hours

  • Total consumption: approx. 1.5–2 kg/m²

On metal surfaces, drying times may extend up to 48 hours.

The use of anti-crack support is essential to ensure long-term durability, especially on substrates subject to movement or micro-cracking.

Technical Advantages of ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO

  • Thixotropic consistency for easy and controlled application
  • Non-flammable formulation for safer job sites
  • Excellent adhesion on multiple substrates
  • UV and ageing resistance
  • No primer required for faster workflows

These features make ELASTOPLASTIK 88 PRO waterproofing membrane a reliable solution for professional applicators seeking efficiency and performance.
