Application

Suitable for use as ground gas, hydrocarbon protection and waterproofing at ground level or below ground installations.

Description

Sikaplan®-1651 Loose VOC Gas Barrier is specifically designed, manufactured, tested and certified to perform as a methane, carbon dioxide, radon, ground gas, VOC, air and moisture and hydrocarbon protection system. It is typically used for the gas and waterproofing of ground-level structures where harmful ground gases are anticipated.


Features and benefits:

  • Quick and easy installation.
  • A fully welded system.
  • High resistance to ground gases.
  • Exceptional chemical resistance.
  • Manufactured to meet the most up-to-date British Standards and guidance.
  • Long term durability (performance guarantees for the lifetime of the building).


Approvals/ standards:

  • Conforms to the requirements of EN13967:2012.
  • NHBC Standards Compliant.
  • CIRIA C748 Compliant (VOC barrier).
  • BS 8485:2015 + A1:2019 Compliant (methane and carbon dioxide barrier).
  • BBA Certified – Certificate No: 20/5738.
