IMPERVIUS™ EU

IMPERVIUS™ EU is a two-component hybrid polymer designed to protect reinforced concrete, steel plates and FRP composite bridge decks from the adverse effects of traffic, extreme weather and de-icing chemicals. IMPERVIUS™ EU provides a skid resistant surface for bridge overlays that meets applicable ASTM, AASHTO and state specifications. This hybrid polymer may be used as a resin binder layer for broadcast aggregate overlays or as a polymer concrete, depending on use and exposure.

IMPERVIUS™ EU Benefits:

  • 100 percent solids
  • Prevents ingress of water and de-icing chemicals
  • Excellent adhesion to concrete, steel, asphalt and FRP composites
  • Adheres to aggregates for extended periods of time
  • Provides skid resistance
  • Self levelling for low spots and shallow scaling
  • Resilient at extreme temperatures
