INSUSTRECH - SBS Bitumen Membrane INSUSTRETCH

INSUSTRETCH

INSUSTRETCH – Bituminen Membrane for Water Insulation

Description

INSUSTRETCH is an elastomeric Modified Bitumen Membrane used for various waterproofing applications. It is manufactured in a high-tech calendering 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.

 

INSUSTRETCH 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)

 

INSUSTRETCH Features

  • 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
