Specification:
The waterproofing membrane shall be a 1.5 mm thick self adhesive sheet
membrane comprising a polymer modified bitumen layer, bonded on to an
outer surface of polyethylene film.
The waterproofing membrane shall have an adhesion to primed concrete of 3.0 N/mm or greater when tested in accordance with ASTM D1000, a puncture resistance in excess of 230 N when tested in accordance with ASTM E154, and shall withstand a hydrostatic pressure of not less than 400 kPa. that 30 to 50 mm mortar or Plastijoint fillets are formed in the angle between horizontal and vertical faces, and at all internal corners. External angles should be chamfered to remove all sharp edges.
The membrane should be protected immediately after application in accordance with BS 8102:1990.
