American Hydrotech, Inc. products

Monolithic Membrane 6125® (MM6125®) is a thick, tough, flexible, self-healing membrane for use in waterproofing and roofing applications. MM6125 is a special formulation of refined asphalts and synthetic rubbers. MM6125 has been successfully used worldwide by leading architects, engineers and owners on all types of horizontal and vertical structures including plazas, parking decks, planters, tunnels, bridges, mud slabs, foundation walls and roof areas...establishing an unbeatable track record of 50 years.

The Ultimate Assembly - Hydrotech`s open joint architectural paver assembly, with a single-source warranty. Ideal for roof terraces, vegetated roofs and plazas, The Ultimate Assembly begins at the substrate with Hydrotech`s premier waterproofing membrane, Monolithic Membrane 6125, and carries through to the overburden of the architectural pavers. Hydrotech`s architectural pavers offer high compressive strength, low moisture absorption, and a wide variety of colors and textures.

Hydrotech`s Garden Roof Assemblies combine the proven performance of our Monolithic Membrane 6125® roofing/waterproofing with proven green technology. Unlike conventional earth-covered structures, Garden Roof Assemblies are lightweight and can be installed on a wide variety of new and existing structures. Replacing the impervious surface of a conventional roof with a "vegetated" can help to substantially reduce storm water run-off and restore the balance with nature in our urban centers.

The Extensive Garden Roof® Assembly is ideally suited for locations that will receive little maintenance or where structural capabilities are a concern.

Dow Chemical developed what is known today as the Protected Membrane Roof (PMR) assembly, and in the 1970’s Dow and Hydrotech started marketing the first PMR configuration that could be offered as a single source warranty. For over 40 years, only Styrofoam™ Brand Insulation has been placed over Monolithic Membrane 6125, in both roofing and waterproofing applications. As the market accepted the PMR concept, Hydrotech was again the first to offer innovation – the first PMR warranty to include removal and replacement of the overburden. While Styrofoam™ is now a DuPont brand, the partnership continues as it has from day one, offering the best combination of products and assemblies all covered by a Single Source Warranty.

HydroSeal Resin is a high performance two-component, fast-curing, poly methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) resin. HydroSeal Resin is combined with HydroSeal Catalyst and HydroSeal Fleece reinforcement to form a monolithic, self-flashing and self-adhering reinforced flashing membrane in conjunction with Hydrotech’s MM6125 membrane and flashing accessories for a variety of conditions that do not allow for typical membrane flashing termination requirements. It comes standard in a light grey color.

Water management is a critical issue in the design and construction of a structure. Without proper drainage, severe structural damage could occur. In below grade structures, proper drainage will reduce hydrostatic pressure by channeling water away from the structure. For horizontal applications, in particular dead level or low slope structures, proper drainage can provide an avenue for the water to flow to the drains between the membrane and topping materials. For between slab applications, it can decrease the risk of possible freeze thaw damage to the wearing surface.

ThermaFlo combines the excellent thermal protection of Styrofoam™ Brand Insulation, superior drainage capability and protection to the waterproofing membrane - all in a single product. This 3 in 1, multi-purpose product is particularly well suited to below grade vertical foundation walls. ThermaFlo panels are 2 ft. x 8 ft. DuPont™ Styrofoam™ extruded polystyrene foam insulation with horizontal and vertical drainage channels on one side, covered by spun-bonded polyester fabric. Tongue and groove edges along all sides allow each board to be interlocked during installation, creating a continuous thermal and drainage barrier.
