BITUTHENE® 2000
Pre-formed, self-adhesive rubber bitumen/high density polyethylene damp proof membrane
Product Description
BITUTHENE® 2000 is a combination of a high density polyethylene film and a self-adhesive rubber/ bitumen compound.
Features
-
Damp proof - moisture/vapour proof barrier capable of resisting hydrostatic head conditions up to 5 metres.
-
Flexible - accommodates minor settlement and shrinkage movement.
-
Cold applied - no heating, simple, low labour cost.
-
Self-adhesive - full continuity at overlaps.
-
Factory controlled thickness - no variation by site labour.
-
Rubber/bitumen - flexibility and resistance to most dilute acids and alkalis.
-
Preformed film surface - immediate access for same day screeding.
Applications
It is supplied in rolls 1mm thick overall, 1m wide and 30m long (30 sq metres) and is unrolled sticky side down on to blinded hardcore or structural concrete slabs. Waterproof joints are made by overlapping 50mm and firmly rolling surfaces. Applied to top of concrete slab or blinded hardcore, Bituthene 2000 will provide a moisture/vapour proof barrier and radon gas barrier.
Being factory made, thickness of membrane is constant throughout and is not subjected to variations by site labour such as occurs with brush applied materials. Bituthene 2000 is flexible and well capable of bridging shrinkage cracks in the concrete.

Installation
Concrete slab or concrete blinded hardcore shall be surface dry, free from standing water, and laid to a regular surface free from sharp protrusions and hollows. Vertical faces shall be smooth, regular, dry and free from nails and primed with one coat of Bituthene Primer applied by brush or roller, at a rate depending on the porosity of the surface and allowed to dry before the application of the Bituthene 2000. Brickwork must be flush pointed or rendered to provide a smooth surface. Bituthene 2000 shall be laid by peeling back the protective release paper and applying the adhesive face on to the prepared surface. The material should be brushed on to the surface to exclude air. Adjacent rolls are aligned and overlapped 50mm minimum at side and ends and well rolled with a firm pressure using a Bituthene Lap Roller to ensure completed adhesion and continuity between the layers. A guideline is printed on the membrane. Following the application care should be taken to prevent damage by following trades. Damaged areas can be repaired by patching with an oversized patch applied to a clean, dry surface and firmly rolled.
