Newton 803 Newtonite is a composite damp proofing membrane comprising of high density polyethylene membrane with a rot-proof polythene mesh heat-welded during the manufacturing process to the surface of one side. The meshed surface creates a mechanical key to allow the membrane to be plastered, rendered or to receive dot & dab plasterboard. Newton 803 Newtonite is one of a range of membranes within the Newton System 800 range of damp proofing products. If the meshed surface is not required because the wall finish will be a block wall or timber or metal frame, use Newton 803 instead. Newton 803 Newtonite is 0.5mm thick and has a pattern of raised 3mm studs. The studs face the wall and create air channels that allow for vapour equalisation to take place between the membrane and the wall. Newton 803 Newtonite is light, clean and easy to handle. It can be cut with a sharp knife, scissors or shears. The membrane is inert and is highly resistant to water, alkalies, saline solutions and organic acids, and it is not affected by minerals. It is also resistant to bacteria, fungi and other small organisms. Newton 803 Newtonite is guaranteed against deterioration for 30 years, has a life expectancy of at least 50 years and is supported by BBA Certification Certificate Number 94/3010.

Newton 801-M Mastic Sealant is a non-toxic, solvent-free, multipurpose and single component silicone sealant, primarily used in conjunction with Newton System 800 Damp Proofing membranes. Applied to the fixing plugs before they are fitted, Newton 801-M Mastic Sealant serves so as to seal the penetration and stop the occurence of a ‘bridge’ between the damp or stained substrate and the new internal surface. Newton 801-M Mastic Sealant has a high resistance to both ageing and extremes of temperature, as well as achieving a high adhesive strength, without primer, on the majority of materials used in the building and engineering industries.

Newton 601 Slimline is a high-grade flooring membrane used primarily for isolating moisture-sensitive flooring from dampness in the floor slab. It can be used as the floor membrane as part of Newton System 500, when the survey has ascertained that there is no risk of water entering through the body of the slab. Newton 601 Slimline allows for the installation of sensitive flooring to be laid above ‘green’, still curing concrete as soon as the concrete is walkable, usually two days, significantly reducing project times. With a loading capability of over 1000kN/m², Newton 601 Slimline is able to resist very high compressive loading and is suitable for use as a high load DPC within structural block walls, especially when used to connect the wall and floor membranes within Newton System 500. Newton 601 Slimline is guaranteed against deterioration for 30 years and has a life expectancy of at least 50 years (DIN 9001:2000) Newton 601 Slimline is inert and is highly resistant to water, alkalies, hydro-carbons, saline solutions and organic acids, and it is not affected by minerals. It is also resistant to bacteria, fungi and other small organisms. Newton 601 Slimline can be finished over with screed, 18mm or 22mm T&G chipboard or partical board. Laminate and timber flooring should be installed over a layer of 18mm or 22mm T&G chipboard.
