Epikon Proof Next-Generation Foundation Waterproofing System
Formulated with high-strength reinforcement and high-performance SBS-modified polymer bitumen using the latest technology, Epikon Proof is a next-generation waterproofing system. It is safely used in foundation and single-sided formwork retaining wall waterproofing applications, offering strong adhesion to fresh concrete.
Eliminates the need for protective concrete and separator felt in horizontal applications.
Reduces excavation costs.
Self-adhesive formula enables easy and quick application on vertical surfaces.
Saves labor by requiring adhesion only at overlap joints in both horizontal and vertical applications.
Eliminates the need for additional tape in critical corners.
Waterproofing
Its special formula and sand-textured upper surface ensure perfect adhesion to the foundation concrete, creating a seamless waterproof layer. It does not separate from the surface.
Prevents water from spreading between the foundation concrete and the waterproofing layer in case of potential point leaks, ensuring excellent protection.
Pre-applied in inaccessible areas (such as single-sided retaining walls), ensuring complete foundation encapsulation.
Flexible and Durable
Thanks to its intense elastomeric formula, it works in harmony with the structural system in moving foundations and ground shifts.
Its high-strength polyester felt and special formulation provide tear and puncture resistance, making it ideal for deep foundations exposed to high hydrostatic pressure.
Resistant to chemicals.
With a cold bending value of -20°C, it withstands harsh climatic conditions and provides long-lasting waterproofing.
Foundation Waterproofing
Epikon Proof Horizontal Membranes, applied directly on blinding concrete without the need for protective concrete, can be installed in single or double layers depending on the building and ground conditions.
Thanks to its protective upper layer, reinforcement works can be carried out on it, and foundation concrete can be poured directly. Its special formula and fine particle sand-textured surface ensure perfect adhesion to the poured foundation concrete, creating a completely watertight surface.
There are three different Epikon Proof systems for foundation applications. The choice depends on the groundwater level, soil conditions, and structural requirements:
For deep foundations exposed to pressurized water, applying the second protective layer (EP200 Proof Protector) is recommended.
Single-Sided Formwork Retaining Walls
Due to dense urbanization, the excavation area is often limited to the building footprint, making single-sided retaining walls a necessity.
Designed for single-sided formwork waterproofing, Epikon EP300 Proof Vertical features a self-adhesive formula for easy application.
Applied in a single layer on vertical surfaces.
Ensures perfect adhesion to fresh concrete after static wall installation thanks to its special formula and sand-textured surface.
Traditional Foundation Waterproofing vs. PROOF Systems
In traditional foundation encapsulation, waterproofing is adhered to the blinding concrete layer, but no adhesion occurs between the membrane and the poured foundation concrete. As a result, water leakage can spread along the foundation due to ground shifts or other factors.
In PROOF systems, the membrane, with its special formula and sand-textured upper surface, bonds strongly to the concrete, preventing water infiltration and stopping water from spreading along the surface. The membrane and structural concrete integrate fully, functioning as a single surface.
This integration makes it easier to detect and repair leaks in retaining walls

Application Steps
ODE Bitumen Emulsion Primer is applied to the surface in accordance with the recipe. Before starting the membrane application, the primer should be allowed to dry for 1 day at 15-20 0C, or 2 days in colder weather. Application should not be made at temperatures below +5 0C and in rainy weather.
ODE RUBİN waterproofing membrane is applied from the lowest level by opening it perpendicular to the slope on terraces or sloping roofs. The membrane is overlapped lengthwise by 15 cm and widthwise by 10 cm. It is glued with a torch flame, as suggested in detail, only at the joints or by the full bonding method. It is applied with mechanical fixation on surfaces that do not allow torch application or in cases where precautions must be taken against wind load. After the first layer of covers is applied to the entire surface, staggering the transverse joints, the second layer of covers should be applied staggered to center the transverse and longitudinal joints of the first layer.
