Overview
Superior protection for bridge decks
Steel and concrete bridges are vulnerable to attack by water, chloride and frost, leading to deterioration and even structural failures. Installing a high-performance waterproofing membrane is therefore an essential part of any bridge construction or refurbishment program. The ELIMINATOR® bridge deck waterproofing membrane is a cold, spray-applied solution that can outlast the life of the structure — reducing maintenance costs and traffic disruptions.

PAR1 Primer is a two-component, fast-curing methyl methacrylate (MMA) resin designed to prime and seal concrete substrates. Its low-viscosity formulation ensures deep penetration into cracks and porous surfaces, forming a strong, cohesive bond that enhances the performance of subsequent waterproofing or surfacing systems.
- Exceptional adhesion and deep crack penetration for durable surface preparation
- Rapid cure and no overcoating window for flexible installation scheduling
- Performs in a wide range of temperatures, including below freezing<
- Concrete Surfaces

Primer MR6 is a fast-cure, high-strength acrylic resin system designed to prime metal surfaces prior to the application of waterproofing membranes. Its 100% solids, solvent-free formulation ensures excellent adhesion and performance across a wide range of temperatures and conditions, including outdoor and below-freezing environments.
- Strong cohesive bond to metal substrates with on-site bond test verification
- Fast cure and recoat time—typically within 30–45 minutes
- Easy application by brush, roller, or spray on vertical and horizontal surfaces
- Metal Surfaces
- Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, including vertical and horizontal surfaces
Waterproofing accessories
SA1030 Bond Coat is a polymer-modified bond coat designed to create a strong, durable bond between the ELIMINATOR® waterproofing membrane and hot bituminous surfacing. It is especially effective where the bitumen content is low or the surfacing layer is thin, ensuring reliable adhesion and long-term performance.
- Provides a high-strength bond between waterproofing membrane and asphalt surfacing
- Rapid solidification allows for quick progression to surfacing
- Effective even with thin or low bitumen surfacing layers
- Applied directly to cured ELIMINATOR® membrane using standard methods
