MARKCHEM SUPER SHILED
DESCRIPTION
MARKCHEM SUPER SHIELD membranes aremade by saturating and coating a robust reinforcement of spun bonded in the range of 140-200 g/m2 non-woven polyester with a homogenous thermoplastic blend of APP (Atactic Polypropylene), distilled bitumen and stabilisers. The mixture is carefully produced under controlled conditions to ensure its stability at high temperatures and its flexibility at lower temperatures. MARKCHEM SUPER SHIELD membranes are impermeable to water, easy to apply and maintain, with the option of a decorative finish for exposed use.
- sewerage canals, sub grade structures and any concrete or cemented flat surface that needs waterproofing
They are used on low slope concrete roofs, balconies, multi storied car parks, for lining sewerage canals, sub grade structures and any concrete or cemented flat surface that needs waterproofing
INSTALLATION
- SURFACE PREPARATION: Surfaces onto which the membrane is to be applied must be sound, clean and dry. Dust, loose material and protrusions must be removed and cracks, holes etc. shall be made good
FEATURES / ADVANTAGES
- Excellent cold weather resistance
- Good elongation and recovery
- Rot Proof
- High breaking strength and tear resistance
- Very good puncture resistance
- Highly resistant to substrate movement
- Flexible membrane that easily absorbs the movements of the roof
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
- In the construction of single layer waterproofing system of flat roofs and pitched roofs and in infrastructure applications
- As a loose laid membrane over slip-sheet with side and end laps torched or hot air welded
- In regions where deformations are expected due to thermal stresses, where heavy uplifting is anticipated and is used in underground reservoirs, tunnels and engineering constructions
- Ideal for new and re-roofing projects, waterproofing on steel decks and wood support decks
- PRIMING: Apply one coat of MEMBRANE PRIMER solvent-based bituminous primer to all surfaces at 5- 6 m2/lit and allow to dry. Primed\ surfaces must be covered within the same day. If left exposed for longer periods, clean and re prime before applying the membrane.
- MEMBRANE APPLICATIONS : Position the rolls carefully with the correct orientation before the torching operation begin. Heat the lower surface of the rolls with a propane gas torch and unroll as the bitumen begins to melt. Maintain minimum 100 mm side laps and 150 mm end laps between rolls, staggering the joints where possible. All seams must be heat sealed from the top to ensure watertight laps.
- PROTECTION : Once laid, it is recommended to protect the membrane from long-term exposure, construction abuse and backfill, preferably within 24 hours. On vertical areas Expansion Board are recommended; on horizontal surfaces a minimum 25 mm thick sand cement screed may be used
