Use Duram 195 for: Waterproofing wet areas, decks, balconies, and below-ground structures where a durable, flexible, and seamless membrane is required.
Duram 195 is a premium, single-pack, moisture-curing polyurethane waterproofing membrane designed for professional use in non-UV exposed areas. It cures to form a tough, seamless, and elastomeric (Class III) membrane, providing long-term waterproofing protection. Its self-leveling capability and easy application make it ideal for various applications, including wet areas, decks, and below-ground structures. When top-coated with Multithane ATC, it can also be used in exposed areas.

Technical Overview
Duram 195 is formulated with UV stabilizers, absorbers, and antioxidants to enhance its UV protection and stability. It bonds well to most primed building substrates and is suitable for both above and below-ground applications. Its self-leveling properties ensure a smooth, even finish, while its elastomeric nature accommodates substrate movement.
Chemical Properties: Moisture-curing polyurethane membrane with UV stabilizers, absorbers, and antioxidants.
Application Temperature Range: 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Ensure the substrate surface temperature is within this range for optimal adhesion.
Application Information
-
Required Tools: Brush, roller, broom, or squeegee, Duram Resiflex FC sealant, Duram Leak-Seal Tape (for joints and cracks), Duram Solvent (for cleanup).
-
Trade-Specific Tips: Ensure surfaces are thoroughly primed with Duram Primeseal MC or SP. Pay close attention to detailing corners, joints, and cracks using Duram Resiflex FC and Leak-Seal Tape. Apply two coats for optimal thickness and performance.
-
Common Issues and Solutions: Avoid applying to damp surfaces to prevent gassing and bubbling. Ensure proper surface preparation to avoid adhesion failures. Use Duram Solvent for immediate cleanup of spills and equipment.
Storage and Shelf Life
-
Storage Requirements: Keep in a cool, dry place away from heat, flame, or combustible materials.
-
Shelf Life Information: 6 months in unopened container, best used within that period.
-
Temperature Considerations: Store within recommended temperature ranges to maintain product integrity.
