Ames' blue max is a special blend of adhesive, high strength elastomeric liquid rubber for waterproofing basements. It is a new, impenetrable, rubber technology for waterproofing in extreme wet situations such as below grade foundations, basement walls, and cisterns. It is high in solids and dries to a tough 800% elastic membrane that resists cracking and peeling. Blue max remains flexible in freezing temperatures. Ames' blue max is impervious to water when applied in a uniform and seamless fashion with adequate millage. It flows into cracks and crevices as a liquid and sets up as a durable rubber to seal leaks wherever they occur. Ames blue max is uv sensitive and must be top coated if exposed to sunlight. Ames' blue max is also an excellent coating for icf (insulated concrete forms), as well as metal, wood, concrete, and many other applications. The adhesive qualities in Ames' blue max actually glue surfaces together and strengthen wall construction. Ames' blue max outperforms isocyanate urethanes, and works well as a primer and waterproofing membrane for Ames' products. Ames' blue max must be top coated for uv protection in exterior applications.
