Description

GCP PREPRUFE 160R Plus pre applied waterproofing membranes are unique composite sheets comprised of a thick HDPE film, pressure sensitive adhesive, and weather resistant protective coating. Designed with Advanced Bond Technology™ and dual adhesive ZipLap™ seams, PREPRUFE 160R Plus form a unique, integral bond to poured
concrete. This integral bond is specifically designed to provide a robust barrier to water, moisture and gas and prevents both the ingress and lateral migration of water.

PREPRUFE 160R Plus are release liner free and designed for efficient, reliable installation. PREPRUFE Plus ZipLap™ seams allow for an adhesive to adhesive bond at membrane sheet overlaps and deliver superior performance in harsh conditions without the need for specialized equipment, heat or power.

Uses

• Water and vapour proofing for all basement grades to BS 8102:2009
• Waterproofing civil engineering sub – structures
• Gas resistance – methane, carbon dioxide and radon gas protection according to BS 8485 (see section 7.2.4), BRE Reports 211 (radon) and 212 (methane and carbon dioxide). 
• Protection of reinforced concrete structures in aggressive ground including the harshest conditions.

Advantages

• The unique continuous adhesive bond to concrete poured against it prevents water migration and makes it unaffected by ground settlement beneath slabs.
• Designed with fully adhered adhesive to adhesive watertight ZipLap™ seams and easy to execute detailing. Provides a barrier to water, moisture and gas physically isolating the structure from the surrounding substrate. Easy roll/kick out installation reduces installation time and cost.
• Release liner free, expedites installation and reduces construction site waste.
• Simple and quick to install requiring no priming or fillets.
• Can be applied to permanent formwork – allows maximum use of confined sites
• Self-protecting – can be trafficked immediately after application and ready for immediate placing of reinforcement Membrane is unaffected by wet jobsite conditions – cannot activate prematurely
• Inherently waterproof as supplied. Passive non-reactive waterproofing system does not require water activation Waterproofing is not reliant on confining pressures or hydration
• PREPRUFE 160R Plus unaffected by freeze/thaw, wet/dry cycling
• Chemical resistance – designed to help protect structure from salt or sulphate attack effective in most types of soils and waters
• Gas resistance – PREPRUFE 160R Plus will restrict the ingress of Methane, Radon, Benzene, Toluene, Gasoline & other VOCs Trichloroethylene & Tetrachloroethylene (TCE/PCE) into buildings from landfill and naturally occurring sources and satisfy the performance criteria for a gas-resistant membrane.
