BITUTHENE® 4000/ 4000S - HDPE Waterproofing Membrane
Verified by manufacturer 2 months ago
BBA Agrément Certificate
Certificate type
Self-adhesive, cross-laminated HDPE waterproofing membrane with enhanced bonding characteristics.
Application
- Use for protection of sub-structures in accordance with the relevant requirements of BS 8102.
- Suitable for application to “green” concrete.
Description
Bituthene 4000 / 4000S ia a flexible preformed cold applied waterproof membrane combining a high performance cross-laminated, HDPE carrier film with a distinct super-sticky self-adhesive rubber bitumen compound. Designed to be applied horizontally and vertically to protect critical sub-structures. The membrane is specially formulated to allow application to "green concrete" and may be applied in damp or marginal weather conditions with the use of a moisture tolerant primer system.
Features and benefits:
- Cold applied: fast, safe and simple application to substrates especially at low temperatures and saves application time.
- Allows application in damp or marginal weather conditions.
- Adhesive and film sealing provides enhanced bond and additional security.
- Provides high tear strength, puncture and impact resistance.
- Ensures quality of the overlaps and saves application time. Contributes to methane, carbon dioxide and radon gas protection.
