Description

Polyguard® 650 TRM is a professional-grade, self-adhering waterproofing and termite barrier membrane designed to protect concrete foundations, vertical walls, ICF, plywood, and OSB structures. With a 68-mil thickness (4-mil HDPE film bonded to 64-mils of barrier sealant), 650 TRM provides dual protection—blocking both moisture and termites—for long-lasting structural integrity. Backed by over two decades of university research and ICC AC 380 certification, this peel-and-stick barrier is a proven solution for builders, contractors, and architects seeking non-chemical, LEED-eligible pest control and waterproofing performance.

Features & Benefits

  • Dual Protection – Provides both waterproofing and physical termite exclusion in a single membrane
  • Proven Performance – Over 20 years of university testing and ICC ESR-3632 compliance
  • Durable Construction – 68-mil composite (HDPE + rubberized asphalt) ensures puncture resistance and flexibility
  • All-Weather Application – Formulated for low temperatures down to 30°F (-1°C); 30-day UV exposure window
  • Non-Chemical Pest Control – Safe alternative to pesticides; supports LEED credits for sustainable construction
  • Immediate Backfill – No waiting period required; compatible with dry soil, sand, or drainage gravel when used with Polyflow® 15P
  • Easy Installation – Strong, pliable, peel-and-stick sheet with excellent adhesion to primed substrates

Technical Data

  • Membrane Thickness: 68 mils (ASTM D 1000)
  • Color: Red / White
  • Elongation (Barrier Sealant): > 1000% (ASTM D 412)
  • Pesticide Repellency: 0% penetration (ASTM F 2130, tested against Chlordane, Fipronil, Permethrin)
  • Moisture/Vapor Permeance: 0.03 grains/ft²/hr/in (ASTM E 96 Method B)
  • Tensile Strength (Composite): 325 psi (ASTM D 412 Modified Die C)
  • Peel Adhesion: 10 lbs/in width (ASTM D 1000)
  • Overlap Bond: 8 lbs/in width (ASTM D 1000)
