PROPERTIES

Nominal size 1 x 2 mtr. Weight 3 to 6 kg/m2

APPLICATION

Gulfboard can be spot bonded on to membrane by torch application method and pressed with a hard roller to strengthen the adhesion of the melted bitumen compound with the membrane surface. Once the board is fixed in place supports must be provided to keep the boards in place till the adhesion is strong enough to hold the board. Subsequent boards shall be laid continuously by butt fitting the edges. For irregular profiles the board shall be cut to fit all intersections.

THICKNESS

We produce different thicknesses (3,4,6 mm) are available upon request.

PRIMING
