DESCRIPTION

Bituflex-SL is rot-proof high performance waterproofing membrane, produced with a layer of natural slate flakes on weathering side to protect the membrane from UV radiation and ageing.
Produced in a highly controlled process, the reinforcement made of nominal 200 gm/m2 non-woven polyester reinforced with glass- fiber threads. And straight run bitumen modified with selected SBS polymers and stabilizers.

SPECIFICATION

Loose Laid:
Re-roll the unrolled membrane to a length suitable for application without changing the orientation. Melt minimum 15 cm from the edges. Fix the melt portion firmly to the pre-primed surface. Position the subsequent rolls, give edge overlapping of minimum 15 cm, side overlapping of minimum 15 cm and continue until the area is fully fixed. The melted compound should be spread with a trowel or roller to ensure a smooth tight seal.

Fully Bonded:
Melt the lower surface of the membrane with a gas torch by moving the flame across the entire width of the roll. Fix the melt portion firmly to the pre-primed surface. The subsequent rolls should be done in the same manner as of loose laid membrane.
