Elastoplastomeric compound (BPP) reinforced made up of polyester un-woven fabric reinforced with fibreglass strands.
abedex® FS-R membrane is manufactured from a compound of distilled bitumen elastoplastomeric and polymers. After mixing, the characteristics of the polymers are dominant and are evenly dispersed throughout the matrix. abedex® FS-R membrane has excellent stability at both high and low temperatures and possesses good longevity.
The upper face of the membrane is treated with a sand finish, which prevents problems when unrolling the product. The lower face is covered with a sacrificial polyethylene film and the roll is then embossed. The embossing assists in the rapid burn off of the polyethylene film in the torching operation and allows good vapour diffusion.
Uses
- abedex® FS-R membrane can be used as a single layer waterproofing system or as part of a multi-layer built up waterproofing system
Application
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
- The substrate is to be clean, dry and free of any dust, grease, oils or loose debris. The substrate is to be of a smooth and even condition being free of protrusions or voids
- Coves or fillets are to be installed at all internal angles
- Screed to falls of 1:80
PRIMING
- Apply bituprime primer on substrates to receive membrane
- Allow to flash off or dry
APPLICATION/BONDING
- Avoid rough handling, especially at low temperatures below 5 °C. Work must be stopped at temperatures below -2 °C
- Our standard application of the membrane requires that the product be fully bonded by heat fusion to the primed substrate by heat fusion
- If a two layer membrane system is to be fitted the upper membrane must be laid with staggered side and end laps
- We recommend side laps to be minimum of 75 mm and end laps to be a minimum of 100 mm
- A round nosed trowel and gas torch to be used when installing the membrane ensure adequate bonding of the laps
- Protection coating or overlay to be determined by a professional with a.b.e.® technical assistance
