Application

CDM Fibran XPS-500C can be installed in the following areas:


  • As the spacer below cavity drain waterproofing flooring membranes;
  • Protection of externally applied Type A waterproofing;

Insulated support below HydroBond 403 Plus

  • waterproofing membrane
  • Parking decks and green roofs
  • Insulating of subterranean structures sited permanently within the water table

Description

CDM Fibran XPS-500C boards are used to form a 50 mm insulated spacer adjacent to the Basedrain and Floordrain drainage channels within the cavity drain waterproofing system, where it remains dimensionally stable even when fully immersed.


The insulation boards have a heat-hardened surface to increase point load capability below-studded membranes and feature specifically designed slots to the underside of the boards, that in combination with the perimeter and spine drainage channels of cavity drain waterproofing form a fully drained supporting spacer below the floor drainage membrane.


The insulation boards can also be used as a protection for liquid waterproofing membranes applied externally to new earth-retained structures or retained walls, providing protection, insulation and drainage within one product.


Features and benefits:

  • Third-party tested to confirm the load capability for use below Newton studded, cavity drain membranes.
  • Excellent thermal insulation characteristics, with a very low coefficient of thermal conductivity.
  • Closed cell structure with no connecting capillaries resulting in high resistance to water absorption and diffusion of water vapour.
  • Capable of permanent submersion in water.
  • Fully inert when subjected to climatic variations.
  • High mechanical and compressive strength and high dimensional stability.
  • Does not contain CFCs, HCFCs, PBDEs, PFOA or PFCs.
  • Easy to transport, cut and apply.
  • 100% recyclable.
  • Completely rot-proof and does not develop any mould or other efflorescence.
  • No nutritional value for rodents, insects, etc.
  • Good resistance to acids, alkalines, aggressive ground containments and inorganic gases.
  • Suitable substrates include compacted, clean, level surfaces, basement concrete floor slabs and rafts, earth-retained walls of concrete, mortar or insulating concrete forms (ICF) and compacted blinding.
  • CE marked.
  • Life expectancy is equivalent to the building in which it is installed (estimated at 50 years).
