Bituminous Membranes for Waterproofing Insulation

Description

INSUPOLY is an elastomeric Modified Bitumen Membrane used for various waterproofing applications. It is manufactured in a high-tech calendaring process, which involves the saturation and coating of a polyester carrier with an SBS elastomer-modified bitumen compound. The SBS modifiers are used to improve the thermal, chemical, and aging properties of the bitumen compound. Meanwhile, the mechanical characteristics such as tensile strength, elongation, and tear resistance are boosted by the non-woven polyester carrier, which acts as a reinforcement to the product.

INSUPOLY – Bitumen Membrane Surface Finish

The lower surface of the membrane is laminated with a thin thermo-fusible polyethylene ‘burn-off’ film. The membrane is available with a wide range of upper surface finish options including different colored slates, aluminum foil, sand, and polyethylene film. (click here to see the color guide)

INSUPOLY Advantages

• Absolute impermeability to water
• High chemical resistance to alkaline solutions, light acidic solutions, and bacteria
• Thermal resistance under a wide range of temperature fluctuation
• Excellent U.V. resistance when the surface is finished with slates
• Ease of adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces
• Applicable for above and below grade usages

INSUPOLY Membrane Characteristics

APPLICATIONS

INSUPOLY membranes are used for a wide variety of waterproofing requirements and in applications where the membrane is subject to constant movement and high mechanical stresses, such as:

•  roofing or re-roofing for single  or multi-layer systems
•  sloped and flat roofs
•  tunnels, wet areas, swimming pools and toilets
•  foundations and underground structures
•  slab  on grade

STORAGE

INSUPOLY Modified Bitumen Membranes should be stored in an upright position, dry, flat, and ventilated storage area away from direct sunlight.

INSTALLATION
