Plastobit is a fiberglass or polyester felt reinforced waterproofing membrane made of bitumen modified with APP (atactic polypropylene), the lower surface is coated with PE (polyethylene) film and the upper surface is coated with PE (polyethylene) film or colored granules and applied with an oxyacetylene burner. We, BTM, may produce 11 types of the Plastobit membrane with different properties.
ADVANTAGES
Superior performance in hot and moderately cold climates.
PLACES OF USE
Used to obtain water and moisture impermeability on:
•terrace roofs of buildings,
•sloping concrete roofs,
•curtain walls, foundations.
•Designed for moderate climates and used as lower and middle layer membrane in •waterproofing.
•It is used in the insulation of pressurized and non-pressurized underground or surface waters.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface on which application shall be carried out must be cleaned of any dust, dirt, rust and grease and any loose parts scraped. BITUSOL or BITUMER undercoat must be apllied to the surface and allowed to dry up depending on the surface where necessary.
APPLICATION
If the surface to be insulated is concrete, then it must have been finished with sloping grout burnished using a wooden trowel and be clean and dry. Before the application of the membrane, the surface must have been spread with bituminous solution undercoat BITUSOL (TS 103) or bituminous emulsion undercoat BITUMER (TS 113) and allowed to dry up. Depending on the slope of the ground, BTM Waterproofing Membrane Plastobit application starts from low to high elevations. BTM Plastobit is adhered to the surface by heating it with a torch flame. There must be staggering between rows.
