DELTA®-MS CLEAR

The Foundation Waterproofing Membrane for Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) Foundations

Product Description

DELTA®-MS CLEAR is a unique translucent dimple sheet made for the Insulated Concrete Form industry. ICF systems have to contend with many seams, that could potentially allow water intrusion. DELTA®-MS CLEAR bridges all these seams and produces an air space, that separates any soil moisture from the wall.

The main component of the effective waterproofing protection system is an extruded and vacuum formed membrane made from high density polyethylene (HDPE), stabilized with a special Additive package against Oxidation and UV damage. This membrane is remarkably impermeable to water and water vapor and impervious to soil acids and other agents. DELTA®-MS CLEAR is tough, resilient and durable. The membrane is translucent to allow the applicator to see attachment strips or grade marks for easier application.

Product Application

DELTA®-MS CLEAR is a complete protection system for ICF foundation walls in any type of construction. When used on the exterior of an ICF foundation, an air-gap is formed. DELTA®-MS CLEAR keeps ground moisture away from the foundation, which reduces interior dampness and musty odors.

Unlike a coating, it bridges large cracks, ignores damage points and deflects water as well as soil dampness. It condenses and drains away construction moisture, directing it to the footer drains.
