Not all waterproofing systems perform the same under real-world stress. CIM 1000 stands apart from rigid epoxies and asphaltic coatings with its elastomeric flexibility, strong adhesion across tough substrates, and extremely low permeability. With crack-bridging up to ~400% elongation, seamless liquid-applied application, and NSF/ANSI 61 potable assemblies, CIM 1000 delivers reliable protection where competitors often fail.

Stricter VOC rules—and the need for healthier, faster jobsites—are pushing owners to zero-VOC waterproofing. CIM’s 100% solids membranes deliver compliance without the solvent odors, while maintaining long-term, elastomeric performance and very low permeability. Use CIM ECO 1000 for zero-VOC, low-odor indoor work, CIM ECO 1061 where NSF/ANSI 61 potable approval is required, and CIM 1000 TG for vertical/overhead areas in potable assemblies—paired with moisture-tolerant, VOC-compliant primers. The result: safer installs, quicker turnarounds, and a seamless barrier that bridges cracks and handles complex details.

At CIM Industries, performance and reliability have always defined our products. The latest addition to our liquid coatings line, CIM ECO 1061, not only sets a new standard for potable water protection but also for environmental sustainability. With Zero VOCs, ANSI/NSF61 potable-water approval, LEED certification, and an industry-leading
return-to-service time of 72 hours, CIM ECO 1061 enables utilities and contractors to cut downtime, accelerate project schedules, and put tanks back in operation faster.

Choosing the right waterproofing membrane is crucial to ensuring your commercial or industrial project stands strong against water intrusion for decades. Whether protecting parking decks, water/wastewater tanks, tunnels, or plazas, understanding membrane types, applications, and specification criteria enables successful waterproofing.
