Plain Waterproofing Membranes
Description
INSUFORT is a plastomeric Modified Bitumen Membrane used for various waterproofing applications. It is manufactured in a high-tech calendering process, which involves the saturation and coating of a heavy-duty polyester carrier with an APP polymer-modified bitumen compound. The polymer additives are used to improve the thermal, chemical, and aging properties of the bitumen compound. Meanwhile, the mechanical characteristics such as tensile strength, elongation, and tear resistance are boosted by the non-woven polyester carrier, which acts as a reinforcement to the product.
INSUFORT – Bitumen Membrane Surface Finish
The lower surface of the membrane is laminated with a thin thermo-fusible polyethylene ‘burn-off’ film.
INSUFORT Features
- Absolute impermeability to water
- High chemical resistance to alkaline solutions, light acidic solutions, and bacteria
- Thermal resistance under a wide range of temperature fluctuation
- Excellent U.V. resistance when the surface is finished with slates
- Ease of adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces
- Applicable for above and below grade usages
