Application

  • Sites with medium to high level gas concentrations.
  • Sites with low to medium level hydrocarbon vapour contamination.
  • Ground bearing concrete slabs.
  • Suspended concrete slabs.

Description

Loose laid sheet membrane system designed to protect buildings against the ingress of methane, radon, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon vapours and water vapour. The multi-layered laminate structure gives good strength, flexibility and installation properties. The upper surface of the membrane is coloured green.


Features and benefits:

  • Fully compatible with Preprufe and Bituthene membrane systems to form an integrated waterproof and gas resistant protection system.
  • Prevents the transmission of methane, radon and carbon dioxide gases.
  • Resistant to hydrocarbon vapours.
  • Fully bonded lap system.
  • Robust – resistant to on-site damage.
  • Good puncture resistance.
  • High tear and tensile strength.
  • Flexible – can accommodate normal building movements.
  • Weldable.
