Bitumen Membrane

It can be used for a variety of applications including roofs, terraces, large slabs, wet areas, bathrooms, and others.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Positive barrier to water and vapor.

• Excellent resistance to aging and atmospheric agents.

• High flexibility at low temperatures.

• Understands thermal shocks.

• Maintains shape flexibility at high temperatures.

• Resistant to waterborne chemical attack. 

Reinforcement Core & Coating Mixture

A bituminous membrane serves as a critical waterproofing layer, providing a continuous barrier that effectively resists water penetration. This thin layer is designed to withstand hydrostatic pressure from moisture in its liquid state, making it essential for various applications in construction and infrastructure.

Key Characteristics

  1. Waterproofing Materials: Bituminous membranes are typically composed of waterproof materials such as plastic, rubber, or coated fabrics. These materials are essential for creating a reliable barrier against water ingress.

  2. Durability: The membrane must be strong, flexible, and tear-resistant. This ensures that it can stretch and adapt to any cracks or movements in the substrate, maintaining its integrity over time.

  3. Elasticity: An elastic membrane can accommodate the natural movement of buildings, helping to prevent damage and leaks.

  4. UV Stability: If the membrane is to be exposed to sunlight, it should be UV stable to prevent degradation and loss of performance.

  5. Versatility: The membrane should be flexible enough to conform to various shapes and construction features, including walls, roofs, and other architectural elements. It should also allow for upturns and overlaps to ensure a comprehensive seal.

Applications

  • Foundations: Protects against groundwater infiltration.
  • Roofs: Prevents leaks and moisture buildup.
  • Walls: Shields against exterior moisture.
  • Basements: Ensures a dry living or storage space.
  • Bridges and Structures: Protects structural integrity from water damage.

When installed correctly, a bituminous waterproofing membrane provides a robust and effective solution for managing moisture in a wide range of construction projects, ensuring longevity and stability.

REINFORCEMENT CORE & COATING MIXTU

A bituminous membrane is a thin layer of water-tight material that is laid over a surface. This layer is continuous and does not allow water to pass through it. Its main purpose is to resist hydrostatic pressure exerted by moisture in the liquid state. Waterproofing membranes consist of waterproof plastic, rubber, or coated-fabric materials.

The materials are used in a system to prevent the ingress of water into foundations, roofs, walls, basements, buildings, bridges and structures when properly installed. Waterproofing membrane should be strong, flexible, tear-resistant and elastic so that it can stretch to cover cracks and also move with the building. If the membrane is to be exposed to the sun, then it should be UV stable. The membrane should be flexible enough to take any shape it is laid over, and be capable of turning up and over walls and other construction features.
