Pitchmastic PmB

What Pitchmastic PmB does

Pitchmastic PmB is a UK-headquartered specialty chemicals manufacturer focused on spray-applied polyurethane waterproofing membranes for structural protection. Founded in 1950 and headquartered in Tankersley, Barnsley, the company operates as a subsidiary within the USL Special Projects group, itself part of USL Group, which is ultimately owned by US-listed RPM International Inc. The company sells its flagship PmB membrane alongside variants — Blueshield PmB, Roofshield PmB, DeckProtect+ — plus complementary expansion joints and protective coatings, and reports more than 12 million m² manufactured and installed and over 11,000 bridges completed globally.

The underlying technology is a cold spray-applied polyurethane membrane that bonds to concrete and steel substrates to provide seamless waterproofing on bridges, tunnels, car parks, walkways and roofs. Pitchmastic PmB holds BBA/HAPAS, Network Rail and London Underground approvals, plus ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001 certifications, which collectively qualify the system for UK and international public-infrastructure specifications. The company is differentiated less by chemistry novelty than by certification footprint and reference base across conservative infrastructure procurement environments.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model combining direct project sales of membrane systems, an approved installer network for application services, and complementary structural-protection products. The go-to-market emphasizes large public-sector tenders — including Crossrail, Network Rail, London Underground, Kuwait MPW, Oman MTC, Abu Dhabi Airports and Brunei government projects — supported by regional offices in the UK, USA (Conyers, GA), Singapore, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Muscat, and an Asia Pacific distribution partnership with Tremco CPG signed in June 2021.

Direct peers

• Mapei: Mapei manufactures adhesives, sealants, and chemical products for the construction industry, including waterproofing systems and protective coatings for bridges and infrastructure. Overlaps directly with Pitchmastic's PmB and Blueshield product lines in bridge deck and structural waterproofing.
• Sika AG: Sika is a global specialty chemicals leader with a substantial waterproofing, roofing, sealing, and bonding portfolio serving infrastructure and construction. Directly comparable to Pitchmastic PmB's spray-applied polyurethane membrane business, though Sika operates at significantly greater scale and product breadth.
• Fosroc: Fosroc is a construction solutions provider specializing in concrete repair, grouts, sealants, and waterproofing membranes for major infrastructure projects. Comparable niche player to Pitchmastic, serving bridge and tunnel waterproofing in GCC, Asia, and other growth regions.
• Kemper System: Kemper System specializes in liquid-applied waterproofing membranes and coatings for roofs, balconies, and structural applications. Closely comparable technology positioning to Pitchmastic's spray-applied polyurethane systems, though with a different geographic focus.
• Triflex: Triflex is a European specialist in liquid-applied waterproofing systems for roofs, balconies, car parks, and infrastructure. Comparable niche player to Pitchmastic in spray-applied membrane technology with strong approvals and installer networks.

Emerging players

• Normet Group: Normet provides sprayed concrete, rock reinforcement, and waterproofing technologies for underground and tunnel infrastructure. Partial overlap with Pitchmastic in tunnel waterproofing and structural protection applications, focused on mining and heavy civil segments.

Broad incumbents

• GCP Applied Technologies (Saint-Gobain): GCP, now part of Saint-Gobain, provides specialty construction chemicals including waterproofing membranes for bridges and infrastructure. A direct product-line competitor with much larger corporate backing and global distribution.
• Carlisle Construction Materials: Carlisle is a leading North American manufacturer of roofing and waterproofing systems, including EPDM, TPO, and membrane products. Comparable to Pitchmastic's Roofshield PmB and DeckProtect+ offerings, though focused primarily on commercial roofing markets.
• Tremco Construction Products Group: Tremco CPG is the distribution partner of Pitchmastic PmB in Asia Pacific and operates overlapping roofing, waterproofing, and sealing brands. As a fellow RPM International entity, it is both an affiliate and a comparable waterproofing solutions provider in adjacent geographies.
• BASF Master Builders Solutions: BASF's Master Builders Solutions division offers concrete admixtures, sealants, and waterproofing systems globally. Competes with Pitchmastic in structural waterproofing but as part of a much broader construction chemicals portfolio backed by BASF's R&D scale.
