Henkel Polybit Bituboard 1m X 2m X 6mm

Bituboard is non-biodegradable, weatherproof, warp-resistant, and rot-proof. It exhibits excellent resistance to chemicals and improved puncture resistance, making it suitable for various applications in construction.

The standard thickness options for Bituboard include 3.2mm, 4mm, and 6mm. The dimensions for the 6mm board are 0.90m x 2m.

Bituboard absorbs impact from aggregate shock and protects waterproofing membranes from penetration by sharp materials during backfill processes. This helps maintain the integrity of the waterproofing system over time.

Bituboard should be applied when ambient temperatures are between 5°C and 55°C. It is advisable to avoid application during extreme weather conditions such as rain or sandstorms.

Bituboard should be stored in a dry, shaded area away from sunlight and heat sources. It should not be stacked on top of other pallets, and its shelf life is approximately 12 months when stored properly.

Yes, Bituboard is compatible with most waterproofing systems, particularly those based on bitumen sheet membranes and coatings as indicated in BS 8102 standards.

During application, Bituboard may leave bitumen stains on the skin or hands. It is recommended to wear protective gloves and clothing to prevent staining.

The Henkel Polybit Bituboard is a multi-layer asphaltic protection board designed for use as a permanent protection for waterproofing and damp-proofing systems. It features a thickness of 6mm, providing robust protection against physical damage and moisture.

Key features include water and fire resistance, high compressive and tensile strength, and eco-friendly materials that are free from harmful chemicals. It also offers excellent chemical resistance, impact absorption, and high dimensional stability against UV radiation and moisture.

The Bituboard can be installed using adhesive application or mechanical fixing. It is essential to ensure that the ambient temperature is between 5°C and 55°C during installation, avoiding extreme weather conditions.

This protection board is versatile and can be used in various applications, including underlayment for flooring, wall protection, and as a moisture barrier in roofing, terraces, and basements.

Yes, despite its durability, the Bituboard is lightweight, making it easy to cut, shape, and install. This feature significantly reduces setup time and labour costs during construction or renovation projects.

The Bituboard should be stored in a dry, shaded area away from sunlight and heat sources. It is recommended to keep it covered until application to maintain its quality, with a shelf life of 12 months under proper storage conditions.

Yes, when handling the Bituboard, it is advised to use cranes or forklifts for loading or unloading pallets to prevent damage. If boards are unloaded individually, they should be stacked on a flat surface or back on pallets.
