Description:

BITUTHENE 8000/8000S membranes combines the proven BITUTHENE adhesive technology with a unique, grey coloured carrier film to provide superior performance and easier installation. BITUTHENE 8000/ 8000S membranes is extremely tough but any accidental damage which would otherwise be missed, is made visible by the black compound showing through the light grey film.

Uses:

• Damaged areas to be repaired with an oversize patch applied to a clean dry surface extending 100 mm beyond damage and firmly rolled.
• Protect BITUTHENE membranes immediately after application to avoid damage from other trades, construction materials or backfill, using only Protection 03 boards.
• If the area around the substructure can be drained to a low level outlet then GCP recommends the HYDRODUCT range of ® drainage membranes.

Advantages:

• Water and vapour proof – provides protection for all basements, BS 8102:2009
• Gas resistance – BITUTHENE 8000 and 8000S membranes are certified by BBA to score 2 points as a gas resistant barrier (see BS 8485:2015, Table 7) and additional 2.5 points as a structural barrier in Grade 3 basements (BS 8485:2015, Table 5).
• Chemically resistant – provides effective external protection against aggressive soils, contaminated ground water and hydrocarbons in suspension
• Superior performance – 70 m hydrostatic pressure resistance with ultra low moisture transmission rate
• Wide application “window” reduces delays – application temperature range from -5ºC to +35ºC and damp surface tolerant
• Unique composite film – engineered for strength, flexibility and a smooth finish
• Facilitates quality assured installation – printed overlap line ensures minimum laps; light grey colour highlights accidental damage for simple patch repairs.
• System Compatibility -can be combined with PREPRUFE pre-applied membranes, BITUTHENE LM, and HYDRODUCT for system solutions.
