DESCRIPTION

NOVAR-CH is a plastomeric modified bitumen waterproofing membrane (APP), industrially manufactured by impregnation of the reinforcement with the waterproofing compound based on distilled bitumen modified with polyolefin polymers and integrated with a special anti-root additive, which gives to the compound superior technical characteristics. The composite reinforcement, made of nonwoven spunbond polyester in combination with fiberglass, conveys high mechanical characteristics, excellent dimensional stability, isotropic behavior and elastic performance.

Shaping of sheets, straightness, dimensional and surface uniformity are accomplished by hot calendaring of the mass at hot melt fluid state.

The upper surface is coated with anti-adhesive amorphous sand. The lower surface is coated with a thermo-fusible polyolefin film.

FIELD OF APPLICATION

NOVAR-CH is particularly suitable as top layer or as under layer anti-root in multi-layer waterproofing systems, with compatible membranes, where require anti-root resistance.

Roof gardens, terraces, foundations, are valid examples of the design application of this product. It can be applied onto every substrate (concrete, masonry, membrane, etc.) and under heavy protection. The excellent mechanical characteristics and high level thermo-dynamic stability make it suitable for any climate conditions and all the situations where a barrier against water is required.

METHOD OF INSTALLATION

The excellent thermoplastic properties of the waterproofing compound allow the application with torch- on system or hot air generator. In particular situations, it could be applied with appropriate sealants or mechanical fastenings.

The application of the membrane must be carried in good weather conditions and after the substrate has been adequately cleaned and prepared.

PACKING AND STORAGE

The product is packed as standing rolls on wooden pallets wrapped with thermo-shrinking protective hoods. Rolls must be stored in the upright position, without stacking the pallets to avoid deformations which can compromise the correct application of the membrane. The product must be stored indoor, protected from heat and frost.

INTENDED USE OR USES

Flexible sheets for waterproofing. Reinforced bitumen sheets for roof waterproofing.

Flexible sheets for waterproofing. Bitumen damp proof sheets including bitumen basement tanking sheets.
