What is bituthene membrane used for?
BITUTHENE® 3000 and BITUTHENE® Low Temperature Membranes are self-adhesive, rubberized asphalt/polyethylene waterproofing membranes for elevated plaza and parking decks and below grade basements, tunnels, and other subterranean applications.
What is the difference between bituthene 3000 and 4000?
Bituthene 4000 is used with Primer B2 on prepared vertical and sloping surfaces as well as on suspended slab. Primer B2 can be used on ‘green’ concrete or damp surfaces. Bituthene 3000 is a flexible waterproof membrane which can be applied cold.
What is bituthene made of?
Bituthene CP A 1.5 mm thick, flexible, preformed waterproof membrane comprising a HDPE polyethylene film and a thick self-adhesive rubber / bitumen compound Self-adhesive waterproofing membrane for basements, sub-structures and flat deck applications.
Who makes bituthene?
GCP Applied Technologies’
Product Description. GCP Applied Technologies’ (“GCP”) BITUTHENE® 4000 system combines a robust, flexible, pre-formed membrane made of a high performance, cross laminated, HDPE carrier film with a tacky, self-adhesive rubberized asphalt compound and BITUTHENE® 4000 surface conditioner.
What is bituthene mastic?
BITUTHENE® Mastic is a rubberized, asphalt-based mastic. It has excellent adhesion to structural concrete, masonry and wood. The VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) content is 225 g/L. Architectural and industrial maintenance regulations limit the VOC content in products classified as architectural coatings.
What is post applied waterproofing?
These sheet membranes are typically applied after the concrete pour to protect structures from the ingress of water.
What is Preprufe?
PREPRUFE® waterproofing Advanced Bond Technology™ creates a continuous, integral and permanent adhesive bond to concrete. This seal prevents the lateral migration of water into and around the structure and provides performance for the lifetime of the structure.
What is negative waterproofing?
Negative-side waterproofing is the application of a coating material to the interior or the ‘dry’ side of a foundation or wall. Its primary function is to create a barrier coat to stop water from leaking through the wall and keeping the space dry.
What is positive side waterproofing?
Positive-side waterproofing by definition is applied to the outside (wet) face of the subsurface building components, by contrast to negative-side waterproofing which is applied to the inside (dry) face of the subsurface building components.
What is Preprufe made of?
Product Description. The GCP PREPRUFE® 275 & PREPRUFE® 275 LT membrane is a composite sheet comprised of an HDPE film, an aggressive pressure sensitive adhesive and a weather resistant protective coating.
What is Preprufe waterproofing?
What is positive water pressure?
Positive pressure refers to the side of the building or structure on the same side as the hydrostatic pressure. Think of the positive side as the side that, during construction, meets and needs to be waterproofed against, moisture going down.
What is the difference between positive and negative waterproofing?
What is a Class 3 waterproofing membrane?
RLA WPM is a waterborne flexible waterproof membrane designed for use under tiled finishes that is capable of accommodating expected structural movement.
How do you measure thickness of waterproofing?
How To Measure Thickness of Waterproofing Membranes
- Apply your product to the proper substrate as instructed by the manufacturer.
- Insert your mil gauge into the wet membrane (estimating the mil thickness you applied to determine which side to insert)
- Read the mil thickness by noting the deposit on the row of notches.
