Nuraply 3PC
Purpose-built for load-bearing roof spaces, this membrane excels under asphalt or concrete surfaces.
1
Withstands mechanical loads in car parks and rooftop vehicle areas.
2
Asphalt-compatible surface supports direct overcoating of wearing layer.
3
Low-maintenance system designed for maximum durability.
Introduction
Nuraply 3PC is a heavy-duty membrane developed for use beneath asphalt or concrete in demanding environments such as car park decks and podium slabs. At 5mm thick, it provides outstanding mechanical resistance, thermal durability, and compatibility with overlaid toppings.
This membrane has been specified for major commercial and infrastructure projects where reliable waterproofing beneath structural surfaces is essential.
Nuraply 3PC is applied using torch-on methods and must be installed by trained applicators, with proper substrate preparation and detailing. Not intended as an exposed finish, it must be overlaid with 3PM on upstands.
Its robust formulation and history of successful installations make it a dependable choice for specifiers needing waterproofing certainty beneath back with a CodeMark certification.
Considerations
Requires overburden protection: Nuraply 3PC must be overlaid with asphalt, concrete, or tiles — it is not designed for use as an exposed membrane.
Slip layer required under concrete toppings: A separation or slip layer must be incorporated when installed beneath concrete slabs to prevent shear stress or membrane displacement.
100% adhesion to the substrate must be achieved: Installation may only be undertaken by approved Nuralite applicators.
Under the Codemark certificate, the membrane may be installed on substrates with no fall. However, back falls are not acceptable and must be corrected.
