Description:

BITUTHENE GP is a combination of a high density polyethylene film and a self-adhesive rubber/bitumen compound. It is supplied in rolls 1 mm thick overall, 1 m wide and 25 m long (25 m ).

Uses:

• The product is for low-risk applications only and is capable of resisting a hydrostatic head up to 1m.
• All concrete and masonry surfaces to which the membrane is to be applied must have a smooth finish.
• Surfaces should be clean, dry free of voids and any sharp protrusions.
• Masonry surfaces must be rendered to provide an even flush surface, if not rendered then all brick or blockwork must be flush pointed.
• For higher risk applications, we would recommend the use of BITUTHENE 4000, BITUTHENE 8000 or PREPRUFE 800PA.

Advantages:

• Waterproof – capable of resisting a hydrostatic head when fully supported (up to 1 metre of water)
• Cold applied – safe, no flame, no heating, no torch-on equipment, self-adhesive overlap ensure continuity
• Flexible – accommodates minor settlement and shrinkage movement
• Reduces installation risk – no risk of: Over heating – that damages the membrane and affects performance & under heating – poor membrane adhesion and lap sealing affects water tightness
• Rubber/bitumen – flexibility and resistance to most dilute acids and alkalis
• Lighter roll – for ease of application
• Longer roll – for less storage
