Protect Every Part of Your Structure with Professional-Grade Solutions
At Safeguard Chemicals South Africa, we provide industry-leading waterproofing and damp proofing solutions that are tailored to withstand South Africa’s diverse climates—from Cape Town’s coastal moisture to Gauteng’s summer storms. Our premium range of products helps residential, commercial, and industrial property owners prevent water ingress, rising damp, and long-term structural damage.
Whether you’re building new or repairing old, we have specialized waterproofing systems for:
Flat, pitched, tiled, or metal — protect your roof with UV-resistant acrylic and bitumen-based coatings. We help stop leaks before they start.
Prevent water from seeping through your tiled balconies, patios, and walkways. Our liquid polymer and PU systems ensure long-lasting surface protection.
High-moisture areas need high-performance solutions. Our internal waterproofing systems block leaks, prevent mold, and protect subfloors and adjoining walls.
Our polyurethane car park system reduces the stress on slabs and provides a durable and seamless system
Our cementitious and polyurethane systems are designed to withstand hydrostatic pressure and rising damp—ideal for below-ground spaces.
Whether it's a warehouse or a residential floor, our primers, membranes, and additives ensure water stays out and durability stays in.
We provide safe, non-toxic waterproofing for ponds, reservoirs, and concrete water tanks, ensuring water retention and preventing structural erosion.
Exterior walls are exposed to rain, wind, and coastal air. Our penetrating damp-proofing and breathable water repellent protect without trapping moisture.
Our construction joint systems, sealants, and reinforcement fabrics provide seamless protection against water ingress in expansion gaps and transitions.
Combat internal wall damp with our proven treatment for rising & lateral damp and anti-fungal products

Thoroughly clean and prepare the surface, as per Safeguard Method Statement for Surface Preparation.
Apply one coat of Safeguard solvent-based Bitumen Primer to the surface ensuring full coverage without any “ponding” of primer on the surface.
Allow to dry and heat-fuse one layer of Safeguard Euro Gecko 4mm APP single re-inforced Bitumen Membrane to the primed surface, lapping all side walls and dressing into and around outlets and upstands.
Provide 100mm side laps and 150mm end laps to adjoining rolls of membrane, ensuring that laps are properly “bled”.
Suitable performance-related products are acceptable.
5-7 days after application of the Bitumen Membrane, thoroughly clean the surface of the membrane and apply 2 coats of Safeguard Bitumen Aluminium paint to the membrane using a brush, roller or spray.
Equivalent products are acceptable.
