BITUTHENE® 8000/ 8000S - HDPE Waterproofing Membrane
Verified by manufacturer 2 months ago
BBA Agrément Certificate
Certificate type
Advanced, self-adhesive membrane with HDPE composite film.
Application
Use for protection of sub-structures in accordance with the relevant requirements of BS 8102. Suitable for application to “green” concrete.
Description
Bituthene 8000 / 8000S is an advanced self-adhesive water, moisture and gas proofing membrane. The membrane has a unique non-metalized grey solar reflective composite carrier film to reduce heat gain while the membrane is exposed and to easily spot damage prior to placement of overlying construction.
Features and benefits:
- Provides effective external protection against most aggressive soils, contaminated ground water and hydrocarbons in suspension.
- 70 m hydrostatic pressure resistance with ultra low moisture transmission rate.
- Engineered for strength, flexibility and a smooth finish.
- Printed overlap line ensures minimum laps.
