Biplas FG 4MM WATERPROOFING

APP modified bituminous membrane - Fiberglass reinforced

GENERAL
Biplas FG 4mm is an APP type modified bituminous
membrane of 4mm thick with 50g/m2 fiberglass
reinforcement and with PE film on top.

SPECIAL FEATURES
• Provides a positive barrier to water and vapor.
• Has excellent resistance to atmospheric agents.
• High flexibility at low temperatures.
• Maintains shape stability at high temperatures.
• Its high performance capabilities enable it to withstand
thermal shocks, making it ideal for use in exposed
systems.
• Resistance to water-borne chemical attack.
• Accommodates structural movement.

APPLICATION TOOLS & EQUIPMENT


You will need a propane gas torch, a gas cylinder, a knife for
cutting and trimming and a trowel with a rounded end.

METHOD OF APPLICATION
The application of Biplas FG waterproofing membrane is both
easy and quick. Where it is to be laid directly in a one-layer
system on concrete, tiles or an existing roofing system, a
coat of dry prime WB or dry prime SB at the rate
of 200-300 g/m² should first be applied. Allow this coating to
dry thoroughly. In areas of high humidity we recommend it
should be left overnight.
