Blueskin WP200

Blueskin WP200 is a high-performance, self-adhering waterproofing membrane designed for below-grade foundation walls and other critical building components where moisture resistance is vital. Manufactured with an advanced rubberized asphalt compound, laminated to a cross-laminated polyethylene film, Blueskin WP200 delivers exceptional adhesion, flexibility, and long-term protection — even in Toronto’s most demanding soil and weather conditions.

It provides superior resistance to water ingress, creating a seamless barrier that safeguards residential, commercial, and industrial structures from moisture intrusion, foundation degradation, and mold growth. Trusted by contractors and builders alike, it’s engineered to meet today’s building code requirements while simplifying the installation process.

Benefits

Watertight Seal: Creates a continuous waterproof barrier that prevents water migration, even under hydrostatic pressure.
Self-Adhesive Backing: No need for torching or mechanical fasteners — reduces labor time and installation complexity.
Superior Flexibility: Rubberized asphalt layer maintains adhesion and flexibility over time, ideal for freeze-thaw environments.
Puncture and Tear Resistance: Engineered with cross-laminated polyethylene for unmatched durability during backfilling and ground shifts.
VOC-Free Application: Environmentally responsible and compliant with green building standards — no fumes or solvents required.
High Adhesion to Substrates: Bonds tightly to concrete, wood, masonry, and metal surfaces, even at vertical angles.

Properties

FUNCTION: Acts as a seamless waterproof membrane for vertical and horizontal applications.
PRODUCT ROLE: Foundation wall protection, moisture control, and air barrier in construction assemblies.
BUILDING COMPONENT: Below-grade foundation walls, blindside walls, concrete slabs, tunnels, and retaining walls.

Overview

Blueskin WP200 is a critical component of today’s envelope protection systems, providing a superior line of defense against water intrusion, mold growth, and structural deterioration. Its rubberized asphalt adhesive forms an aggressive bond to a wide variety of substrates — a vital feature in climates where consistent ground moisture and freeze-thaw cycles threaten long-term foundation integrity.

Unlike liquid-applied waterproofing systems, Blueskin WP200 eliminates curing time and provides immediate coverage. Once applied, it bridges cracks, adapts to surface irregularities, and eliminates pathways for water seepage.

The membrane’s high puncture resistance and self-sealing properties ensure that it remains intact and functional even under shifting backfill or mechanical stress. This makes it ideal for both new construction and remediation projects, offering reliability and peace of mind.

Thanks to its ease of use, contractors can complete installations faster, with less equipment and manpower. It’s a go-to solution for builders seeking consistent performance without sacrificing efficiency.

Guide

Installation

Step

01

Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or sharp protrusions. Apply a compatible primer such as Blueskin Primer to enhance adhesion on concrete and masonry.

Step

02

Align the membrane vertically or horizontally and press it firmly into place, beginning from the base of the wall and working upward. Overlap edges by at least 2.5 inches.

Step

03

Smooth out air pockets using a hand roller. Pay special attention to seams, edges, and any irregular areas to ensure uniform contact.

Step

04

Use Blueskin Detail Tape or Liquid Membrane at terminations, joints, or complex transitions for reinforced protection.

COMPARATIVE TESTING

Blueskin WP200 outperforms traditional waterproofing methods like tar coatings and rolled membranes, offering full coverage without curing delays and installation times up to 40% faster. It bonds more effectively to damp surfaces, has lower failure rates during backfill, and delivers over 20 years of continuous performance. Its superior cold-weather flexibility ensures reliable adhesion and protection, even in sub-zero temperatures.
