BBIITTUUSSTTIICCKK XXLLSS is a solar reflective self adhesive waterproofing membrane manufactured out of a tropicalgrade of polymer modified bitumen. The bitumen compound is laminated onto a white Solar Reflective,cross laminated HDPE film. The membrane is protected on the self adhesive side with a silicone coatedrelease film. BBIITTUUSSTTIICCKK XXLLSS conforms to the requirements of BS 8102.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONSThe application temperature should be between4C to 45C. Application procedures may varyslightly depending upon site conditions. The gen-eral recommended guidelines for the application ofthe self adhesive waterproofing system is as follows:

Surface PreparationThe surface shall be cleaned thoroughly of all con-taminants like dust, traces of curing compound, oiland grease. All surface imperfections, protrusions,structurally unsound and friable concrete must beremoved and repaired with a suitable PPOOLLYYCCRREETTEE*concrete repair mortar.

PrimingApply PPOOLLYYPPRRIIMMEE SSBB* (Solvent based primer) @ 4-6m/lt. as per ASTM D 41 to a clean smooth and drysurface by brush, roller or spray. Allow the primerto dry prior to the application of the membrane. Asthe viscosity of the primer is low, it easily penetratesinto the concrete pores which promotes the adhe-sion between the membrane and the concrete sur-face. In addition to that the primer also acts as abinder for the dust which gets accumulated on theconcrete surface even after cleaning.

AlignmentStart the installation of all membrane plies from thelow point or drains, so the flow of water is over orparallel to the plies, but never against the laps. Alloverlaps at the membrane seams shall be installedso as to have "up" slope laps over "down" slopelaps. Begin membrane application by unrollingthe roll of BBIITTUUSSTTIICCKK XXLLSS membrane and aligning theside laps. Re-roll the roll halfway and stand on theunrolled portion to prevent shifting.

ApplicationPeel off the release film from the self adhesive sideand start unrolling the membrane and press it tothe surface. Smoothen the membrane from thecenter to the edges in order to drive out entrappedair with a wooden press. Furthermore, an ironroller shall be used for rolling on top of the appliedmembrane to ensure a proper and strong adhesionof the bitumen compound with base surface. Sideoverlaps shall be a minimum of 50mm on theselvedge and end overlaps 100mm. Due to itswhite reflective film, the applied membrane can beleft exposed for a maximum period of 7 days, af-ter which it has to protected with a tough, weather,warp and rot proof asphaltic protection board(BBIITTUUBBOOAARRDD)* to prevent any damage from backfill-ing and mechanical damage. Alternatively, on hor-izontal areas the membrane can also be protectedby laying a cement sand screed (50mm).BBIITTUUBBOOAARRDD can be fixed with a double sided adhe-sive bitumen tape (BBIITTUUTTAAPPEE TTSS)*.

HANDLINGBBIITTUUSSTTIICCKK XXLLSS membranes are packed in loose cor-rugated boxes to avoid any damage during tran-sit or during storage at sites. Care should be takenwhen storing the membranes at sites and shouldnot be kept within close proximity of any sharp orprotruding edges to avoid puncturing or damag-ing the membrane.

STORAGE & SHELF LIFEBBIITTUUSSTTIICCKK XXLLSS membranes must be stored in ashaded area on wooden pallets neatly covered bya thick fabric and tied securely in a manner that willminimize exposure to sunlight & UV. The membraneshall be protected from all sources of heat. The shelflife is 12 months if stored as per recommendations.Excessive exposure to sunlight, UV and other sourcesof heat will result in considerable deterioration of theproduct and reduce its shelf life.

DISPOSALBBIITTUUSSTTIICCKK XXLLSS is nonhazardous, non-flammableand therefore can be disposed off in any regulardisposal area. BBIITTUUSSTTIICCKK XXLLSS should be disposed offonly after wrapping with paper, plastic or cloth asthe bitumen compound has a tendency to softenunder heat and pressure, which would make fur-ther handling very difficult.

HEALTH & SAFETYBBIITTUUSSTTIICCKK XXLLSS contains a tacky bitumen compoundand during application can adhere to human skin.

Bitumen stains can be removed by using aclothdipped in a solvent. In case the affected areais a sensitive one, seek medical assistance imme-diately.
