Bituthene 5000 Waterproof Memebrane 1.6mm x 500mm x 20Mtr

• Cold applied — no heating or hot bitumen bedding adhesive required,
• self-adhesive overlaps provide continuity.
• Flexible — easily applied, conforms to changes in profile, accommodates shrinkage cracks up to 0.6mm.
• Robust — accepts road-laying machinery.
• Preformed — guaranteed thickness, not subject to site variation.
• Mesh reinforced — provides dimensional stability and resistance to damage.
• Rubber/bitumen — self-adhesive, elastic compound provides bonding and transmission of braking forces to substrate, allows healing of small punctures.

APPLICATION

Bituthene 5000 is supplied in rolls 1.00m wide, 20.0m long and in min. membrane thickness of 1.6mm and 2.0mm. The rubberised asphalt is covered with release paper that is removed during installation. The membrane is self-adhesive and cold applied. No special adhesive or equipment is necessary to form laps. Bituthene 5000 is an excellent waterproofing membrane for plazas, bridges, vehicular traffic structures, or parking decks to be overlaid with an asphalt concrete wearing course. It is adaptable for either new construction or repair applications. Bituthene S5000 strips are recommended for the restoration of concrete pavements with asphalt concrete overlays to prevent premature deterioration of asphalt paving over the transverse and longitudinal joints caused by reflection cracking and sub-base erosion. Bituthene 5000 membrane will remain flexible to perform over the extreme range of service temperatures expected on plazas,bridges, and parking decks. Its toughness and flexibility allow it to cycle over small cracks, even during critical winter months. The membrane is highly resistant to water and deicing salt solutions. Electrical resistance measurements on structures have been exceptionally high to indicate the effectiveness of Bituthene 5000 in preventing water migration into decks.
