| Description |
| Oxidized bituminous membranes, reinforced with glass fiber mat. |
|
| Features. |
” Single layer installation to reduce cost
” Excellent bondability.
” Durable and easy to apply
” Remarkable resistance to aggressive attack of salts chemicals |
|
| Functions |
| Used in a single layer as bathroom damp proofing and structural elements that are below ground. It also can be used in two layers for tanking system waterproofing roofs. A single layer followed by a layer of mineral surfaced DS can be used for exposed roofs. |

| INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION. |
| These membranes can be installed fully bonded or loose-laid by torch welding. The substrate should be cleaned and primed with AWAZEL PRIMER D41 and allowed to dry. Torching should be done by skilled labor and should be controlled so that only the PE film is melted and the asphalt coating is sufficiently softened to bond the membrane. All lap joints should be sealed and smoothed using a heated round nosed trowel. In loose-laid applications, only the lap joints, areas around penetrations (pipes etc.) up stands and a 30cm wide strip around the perimeter of the work should be fully bonded. Up stands and flashing are installed using 1m wide pieces cut from the length of the roll, the overlap joints should be 5 to 10 cm at the sides and 15cm at the end. When surfaced with either sand or talc, these membranes can also be installed by bonding in hot applied oxidised bitumen using the pour and roll technique or by mopping. |
