, PgANTt� ' c�� d TUFF-N-DRI° Basement Waterproofing � � ° System Detailed Membrane and Board , d�, �� (Full System) Application Instructions ��a sE�ti� ' Product Description ' The TUFF-N-DRI Basement Waterproofing System is comprised of the TUFF-N-DRI Waterproofing Membrane and either the WARM-N-DRI� or TUFF-N-DRI Barrier Board insulation and drainage board. ' The TUFF-N-DRI membrane is a fluid-applied, single-component, polymer-modified asphalt emulsion, manufactured by Tremco Barrier Solutions, Inc. (TBS). This material is specifically designed for spray applications on below-grade exterior foundation walls, or above-grade walls when covered by other ' material. The WARM-N-DRI and TUFF-N-DRI Barrier Boards are fiberglass insulation and drainage boards manufactured for Tremco Barrier Solutions by Owens Corning. The TUFF-N-DRI membrane can be applied to many different substrates, but the TUFF-N-DRI Full-System Limited Warranty applies ' only for new construction, below-grade vertical foundation walls for residential applications. The TUFF-N-DRI Full-System Limited Warranty is for poured concrete walls, bare block walls, parged block walls or pre-cast concrete walls. � Proper installation of the TUFF-N-DRI Full-System is critical to ensuring the quality of the final cured membrane. It is the responsibility of the waterproofing contractor and/or his applicator, to achieve � the goal of creating a uniform, continuous, fully adhered, cured waterproofing membrane with a minimum thickness of 40-mils in all areas of the application. The applicator must consider and , respond appropriately to any impediments to achieving that goal. This includes, but is not limited to, site conditions, the condition and quality of the foundation wall, current and expected weather, as well as backfill composition, procedure and timing. The applicator should proactively communicate , with the builder and/or other trades to surface and resolve any issues that would impede achieving the goal of a quality waterproofing application. The following instructions detail the recommended practices for product application and, if followed, will be instrumental in the creation of a quality finished ' waterproofing system. However, an applicator may deviate from specific items contained in these instructions, as long as he is able to achieve the goal of creating the quality finished waterproofing system by alternate, but effective, means. , If you suspect that there may be a quality issue with the product or that it may not conform to its published specifications, do not apply the product. Contact your TBS Territory Manager or Technical ' Representative for investigation or resolution of the suspected quality issue. Storage ' TUFF-N-DRI membrane, like all asphalt emulsions, must be kept from freezing. It is recommended that TUFF-N-DRI be stored indoors off the floor at an ambient temperature above 50°F (10°C). Opened ' drums should be tightly sealed before storage to avoid a skin developing on top of the liquid. When shipping emulsion-based products during the winter months, there is a risk of the material , freezing while in transport. The risk is much higher on shipments of less than 40 drums because these shipments go as "less than truckload" and do not go directly from our warehouse to yours. '
