Waterproofing membrane

Mel-Rol LM is a single-component, polymer-modified, cold-applied, liquid waterproofing membrane ideal for below-grade vertical applications. Installation time is reduced, using either a spray or roller application. The all-season formulation of Mel-Rol LM provides the same superior waterproofing protection as the standard Mel-Rol LM product, yet this version has been formulated for use in cold climates.
