W. R. Meadows introduced hydrowrap puma flashing, a rapid-curing, liquid-applied flashing and detailing membrane designed to provide waterproofing protection in critical transition areas.

Built on advanced puma technology, the new membrane cures quickly and eliminates the need for reinforcing fabric, allowing projects to move forward faster with fewer installation steps, according to W. R Meadows.

Designed to protect against water infiltration at deck-to-wall intersections, corners, wall-to-wall tie-ins, cracks, joints and penetrations, hydrowrap puma flashing creates a flexible barrier that helps safeguard concrete structures from water, chlorides, deicing salts, chemicals, gasoline, oils and antifreeze, according to W.R. Meadows.

The system is compatible with concrete, metal, and exterior-grade wood substrates, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial waterproofing applications, added the company.

According to W. R. Meadows, one of hydrowrap puma flashing's key advantages is its ability to cure rapidly, even in temperatures as low as 15 F (-10 C) when properly catalyzed, helping contractors extend the construction season and minimize weather-related delays. The membrane also becomes traffic safe in approximately one hour, allowing subsequent construction activities to begin sooner than with many traditional detailing systems.

"Time spent waiting for detailing materials to cure can slow project progress and delay the next phase of construction.," said Donnie Kruger, building envelope product manager of W. R. Meadows. "This flashing was developed to help contractors complete detailing work faster without sacrificing durability or long-term performance. By eliminating reinforcing fabric and delivering rapid cure times, we're giving installers a system that's both efficient and dependable."

Hydrowrap puma flashing is part of a complete detailing system, which aims to provide contractors with a comprehensive flashing solution designed to simplify installation across a variety of project conditions, according to W. R. Meadows.
