Newton 601 Slimline Flooring 40m²

Newton 601 Slimline is a high-grade flooring membrane used primarily for isolating moisture sensitive flooring from dampness in the floor slab, but can also be used as the floor membrane as part of Newton System 500 when the survey has ascertained that no risk of water entering through the body of the slab exists.

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 able to resists 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, saline solutions and organic acids, and it is not effected by minerals. It is also resistant to bacteria, fungi and other small organisms. Newton 601 is the thinnest profile membrane within the Newton floor membrane profile.

Newton 601 Slimline Key Benefits:

• A tough damp-proofing membrane that can be laid on top of damp concrete floors or newly laid floor slabs
• Thicker than conventional damp proofing membranes
• Cost-effective, fast and safe installation.
• Recycled material in centre layer
• Good sound proofing capabilities
• Easy to join using Newton Waterseal sealing tape
• Patented ‘X’ pattern allows for vapour movement and vapour equalisation allowing the drying of the damp floor

Newton 601 Slimine Typical Applications:

• To protect flooring from not yet cured slabs
• Above contaminated floors
• High grade DPM
• As the damp-proof floor membrane for use with Newton System 800 damp-proofing wall membranes
• Can be used as the flooring membrane within a Newton System 500 waterproofing specification if specified by a trained waterproofing surveyor (see Limitations)
