Igropol

vespon — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 09:34:47 +0000

IGROPOL represents a technological solution in the field of polymer bitumen special membranes, available for today’s highly demanding construction market. During the development and manufacturing process, Sappi has considered the beneficial characteristics required by the end user to apply such a special product.

IGROPOL is a prefabricated waterproofing membrane, based on distilled bitumen modified by plastomeric polymers manufactured for special applications. The APP compound is reinforced with embossed 60 microns aluminium foil combined with a glass fibre mat. The special plastomeric compound gives the highest flexibility characteristics at low temperatures.

USE AND APPLICATION

Igropol can be used as vapour barrier where relative humidity is very high.

The problem of water vapour transmission, coupled with a proper waterproofing of the buildings, is extremely important. The barrier is particularly suitable under insulation layers in order to preserve their duration as almost all insulating materials might be permeated by vapour easily. In fact the vapour that accumulates in the coldest area of the roofing condenses inside the insulation layer which loses its insulating properties. Igropol represents an extra layer which is resistant to vapour diffusion and must be installed below the thermal insulation.

Igropol has the lower side covered with a special polyethylene anti-adhesive film to be torched during application. The substrate must be dry, clean and smooth. The membrane is applied by torching it with a light propane gas flame. Application is very easy due to the very flexible APP compound.

STORAGE

In storage rolls must be placed vertically not to be stacked more than two high.

They should be kept in a covered area and protected from adverse weather and U.V. radiation. Whenever the material is stored outdoors on pallets and in conditions of elevated environmental temperatures, it is necessary to make openings in the shrinkable polyethylene protective covering so as to enable the circulation of air among the rolls and to prevent damage from overheating due to the “green house” effect. The handling of the rolls during loading and unloading operations must be undertaken with care so as not to compromise future use of the material.

APPLICATION

1. A deck surface should be prepared accurately (all the incrustation and roughness removed).

2. Bituminous primer ViaBit should be coated.

3. The rolls should be aligned, with lap joints of at least 8,5cm.

4. They should be melted with an appropriate propane torch.

5. The end laps should be heated and refinished with a heated trowel.

6. If the bituminous membrane is not protected with paving, a layer of ViaAlu or ViaCril should be
coated over it.

Oxidised Bitumen

vespon — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 12:42:12 +0000

Oxidised bitumen is used as an adhesive compound for built-up roof waterproofing systems on flat and pitched roofs to bond insulation and different layers of membrane on flat and pitched roofs. Melting using a conventional bitumen boiler and applied using mops or squeegees it is available in 40 or 25 kg block and grades, 95 / 25, 105 / 35, 115 / 25.

Phase Fibreglass

vespon — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 11:26:42 +0000

Phase identify a family of auto-thermoadhesive polymer bitumen membranes. The particular compound of the Phase has been studied to soften and stick on the final support after the heating. It is sufficient to treat uniformly the external surface with the flame of a normal propane torch to activate and take to the softening the modified bitumen on the underside. The advantages offered by this kind of membrane are of absolut importance in all those circumstances where the flame is something that cannot be used on the support ( heat sensitive insulation materials, wood and other flammable materials ).

FIELDS OF APPLICATIONS

Vapour barrier: The application of the thermal insulation can be done in one solution, using the adhesive opportunity by the softening of the external compound.
Application on thermo-sensitive insulation: It is possible to apply in one solution, a first layer on the insulation material and another top layer. ( its flame softening will guarantee the adhesion of the Phase due to the transmission of the heat to the first layer necessary for the activation of the thermo-adhesive mass directly in contact with the insulation material.
Undertiles waterproofing: Phase in the slated version optimise and guarantees security to those applications, above all in presence of wooden structures.
Other applications: Waterproofing recover of existing bituminous layers, base layer for a solution of shigles.

Phase is coupled externally to a thermo-fusible film in polyethylene that on the edge, is substituted with a removable strip in polyprophylene siliconized. The lower surface of the membrane is coupled with a removable film in polyprophylene siliconized.

The particular manufacturing technology endows the products with self-compensating characteristics which guarantee a high stability to thermal shocks. With the presence of the superficial metal foil, the membranes reduces maintenance operations to the minimum after their application and can be employed as finishing layer on roofs with a high aesthetic value.

In storage rolls must be placed vertically not to be stacked more than two high. They should be kept in a covered area and protected from adverse weather and U.V. Radiation. Whenever the material is stored outdoors on pallets and in conditions of elevated environmental temperatures, it is necessary to make openings in the shrinkable polyethylene protective covering so as to enable the circulation of air among the rolls and to prevent damage from overheating due to the “green house” effect. The handling of the rolls during loading and unloading operations must be undertaken with care so as not to compromise future use of the material. The supports must be level, dry, stable and clean and free of non-adherent debris that may damage the membrane by the way of puncture. For correct elimination and run-off of rain-water towards drainage collection points it is indispensable to guarantee a slope of at least 2% on the part of the support.
