Radbar® Flexible Hydrocarbon Membrane

A specially engineered tri-polymer membrane which provides a highly effective barrier against radon, methane, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbon gases. Hydrocarbon gases are formed as a by-product of decomposing organic matter, a build-up of these colourless gases are explosive which could have devastating consequences. The membrane is manufactured from a uniquely formulated blend of polymers to produce outstanding chemical resistance, mechanical properties, dimensional stability and thermal aging characteristics. Ideally suited for sites formerly used as coalfield, landfill or industrial sites which previously contained volatile liquids; petrol stations for example.

As part of the extensive testing the membrane has undergone, it was subjected to accelerated life immersion tests. These tests; EN 14414 and EN 14415, require the membrane to be subjected to a range of challenge chemicals at 50°C and then retested to establish any affects these chemicals have had on the integrity of the membrane.

Features:

• Excellent resistance to chemical and hydrocarbon gases.

• Suitable for hot welding.

• Very high puncture and tear resistance.

• Compatible with vented systems.

• Part of the Radbar Hydrocarbon System.

• Outstanding flexibility properties making it easy to install, especially when compared to HDPE films.

• Superior mortar adhesion to prominent embossing to prevent slip planes when being used as DPC.

• CE marked, Type A EN 13967:2012.
