Product Description

BITUTHENE® 6000 EIM, whilst designed as a waterproofing membrane for concrete structures, possesses excellent electrical insulation properties. BITUTHENE is composed of a tough, cross-laminated polyethylene film, backed by a self-adhesive rubberised asphalt compound, all of which components provide high resistance to the passage of direct or alternating current.

Features

Cross-laminated film — provides dimensional stability, high tear strength and puncture resistance.
Cold applied — no heating, hot mopping or torches.
Flexible — retains flexibility to accommodate ground movement, structural movements.
Controlled thickness — factory controlled uniform thickness.
Chemically-resistant.
Simple, reliable, low labour cost installation.

BITUTHENE 6000 EIM is composed of 1.4mm of rubberised asphalt compound and 0.2mm, 4 ply cross-laminated polyethylene providing superior puncture and damage resistance. It is important to ensure that the membrane resists damage during installation, and during subsequent construction activities, to provide a continuous barrier to the passage of current. The self-adhesive compound allows easy and safe cold application over large areas, without the need for torching or hot mopping of asphaltic compounds. This is particularly important when work is being carried out in confined spaces or underground, on, for example Mass Transit Rail Station Platforms.

Double layer of BITUTHENE 6000 EIM enables electrical resistivity of up to 6000 x 10¹¹ ohm-cm.

Installation

Concrete surfaces shall be dry, free of loose debris and sharp protrusions and hollows. An application of WP-3000 water-based primer is recommended, at the rate of 12 to 15m² / litre. A water-based primer is recommended, for safety reasons, when working in enclosed spaces underground. The primer is allowed to dry completely before application of the membrane.

For complete instructions on the application of BITUTHENE membranes, please refer to our general data sheets and contractor guide, available from your local GCP representative.
