DESCRIPTION

Bituflame – DR is torch applied waterproofing membrane manufactured from APP modified distilled bitumen, reinforced with a combination of non-woven polyester fabric and glass fiber mat. The polyester gives the membrane its excellent mechanical properties, allows for high tensile, elongation and tear strength. The glass fiber provides dimensional stability.

SPECIFICATION

The Bituflame DR waterproofing membrane complies with the requirements of ASTM D 6223 type II, Grade S, UEAtc MOAT 30, DIN 52133 Certificates The manufacturing facility is certified with the ISO 9001:2015 QMS, GMP, ISO 14001 E M and ISO 45001 O H & S

APPROVALS / CERTIFICATES

The manufacturing facility is certified with the ISO 9001:2015 QMS, GMP, ISO 14001 E M and ISO 45001 O H & S.

USES

To avoid damp and water leakage risk, it’s recommended for:

  • Concrete roof and floor slabs
  • Basements
  • Foundations
  • Swimming Pools
  • Fountains
  • Drain Gutters
  • Bathrooms
  • Reservoirs
  • Bridges
  • Tunnels
  • Sub-grade structures
  • Car Park Deck Slabs

STORAGE

  • Keep the products packed in a dry place.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight.
  • Do not place the pallets on top of each other.
  • Rolls must always be kept in a vertical position.

ADVANTAGES

  • Positive barrier to water ingress and dampness
  • Excellent resistance to aging and weathering
  • High Flexibility at low temperatures
  • Stability at high temperatures
  • High tensile strength and tear resistance
  • Accommodates structural movements
  • Fast, easy and clean application
  • Heavy duty reinforcement carriers provide
  • anti-root characteristics.

SURFACE CLEANING

All surfaces should be smooth and free from all harmful objects and thoroughly cleaned from (nails. Grease, dust, debris, oil, protruding elements etc.)

APPLICATION

The membrane is unrolled and placed in the correct position where it is to be torched on later. Each roll must side overlap at least 10 cm while slowly unrolling the membrane the surface is lightly heated by means of a propane gas torch causing surface melting and subsequent adhesion to the surface. End joints should be made with a minimum of 15 cm overlap.

PRIMING

Apply liberal coat of the recommended primer and we recommend using Bituprimer, Seal Coat D41 and Aquaproof allowed primer coat to dry until it is tack free. Prior to the application of the membrane, all surfaces must re-primed if left for more than 24 hours.

APPLICATION TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT

  • Propane gas torch with related gas cylinder
  • Knife/cutter
  • Trowel with a rounded tip
  • Marking Aids
  • Measuring Tape
  • Fire Extinguisher

HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

All safety measures should be observed during application. Fire extinguishers should be available on site. Care should be taken with gas, and torches should not be rested on finished surface or on any
materials that can be scratched by flame or hot torch. Gloves and goggles should be worn by all workers during application.

Read, understand and follow all Material Safety Data Sheets and product label information for this product prior to use.
