Henkel Polybit Damp Proof HD 30cm X 3mm X 10m

Polyshield HD is primarily used as a damp-proof membrane in construction, applied during the erection of brickwork, blockwork, or masonry walls. It is suitable for both horizontal and vertical damp-proof course applications, ensuring robust protection against water vapour ingress.

The membrane has a thickness of 1.5 mm and a mass per unit area ranging from 1.5 to 1.8 kg/m². It features high puncture and tear resistance, making it durable under various conditions, and can accommodate substantial movements without compromising its integrity.

Installation involves laying the membrane on an even bed of mortar, ensuring it extends through the full wall thickness. Overlaps should be at least 100 mm, and all joints must be sealed to maintain the effectiveness of the damp-proof barrier, following relevant building regulations and codes.

When stored correctly in a shaded area and protected from sunlight and extreme temperatures, Polyshield HD has a shelf life of 12 months. Improper storage can significantly reduce its effectiveness and longevity.

Care should be taken to avoid bitumen stains on skin and hands, which can be removed with light solvents. Additionally, caution is advised when using cutting tools to prevent injury during the application process.

Polyshield HD has a low volatile organic compound (VOC) content of less than 50 g/l, indicating a lower environmental impact compared to other products. However, users should still follow local regulations regarding the handling and disposal of construction materials.

Yes, Polyshield HD is designed to withstand various operating conditions, including extreme temperatures. Its special chemical modification allows for flexibility at low temperatures, ensuring effective performance even in harsh environments.

Polyshield HD is a damp proof membrane designed to prevent moisture or water from penetrating structures, acting as a barrier between the exterior and interior or ground and building.

It is available in various widths, including 100mm, 150mm, 200mm, 250mm, and 300mm.

It is introduced at the construction stage and laid horizontally on an even bed of mortar. Overlapping must be done to the same width as the damp proof course or a minimum of 100mm, ensuring proper sealing.

No primer is required for applying Polyshield HD. It can be directly applied using cement/sand mortar.

Yes, it is fully compatible with Bitustick, enabling the creation of a complete moisture-proof system.

The product is multi-layered, elastomeric, durable, economical, and heavy-duty. It is also easy to use.

Installation should adhere to relevant building codes and regulations, particularly when laying, jointing, and forming cavity trays.
