Mineral surfaced bituminous waterproofing membrane

The Bituplus G 4140 is a type of mineral surfaced bituminous waterproofing membrane. It is commonly used in construction and roofing applications to provide a durable and waterproof barrier.

Here are some key features and characteristics of the Bituplus G 4140:

1. Material: The Bituplus G 4140 is made of a bituminous compound, which is a blend of bitumen and polymers. Bitumen is a viscous, black, and sticky material that is commonly used in waterproofing applications.

1. Mineral Surfacing: The membrane is surfaced with mineral granules, which serve multiple purposes. The mineral surfacing enhances the membrane’s durability, provides protection against UV radiation, and improves its resistance to fire.

1. Waterproofing: The primary function of the Bituplus G 4140 membrane is to provide a waterproof barrier. It is designed to prevent the ingress of water into the underlying structure, protecting it from moisture damage.

1. Flexibility: The membrane has good flexibility, allowing it to adapt to the movement and settlement of the building or structure. This flexibility helps to prevent cracks and leaks that can occur due to structural shifts.

1. Installation: The Bituplus G 4140 membrane is typically installed by torching or heat-welding the membrane onto the substrate. This process creates a strong bond between the membrane and the surface, ensuring effective waterproofing.

1. Durability: The mineral surfacing and polymer-modified bitumen composition make the Bituplus G 4140 membrane durable and resistant to weathering, UV radiation, and mechanical damage. It can withstand the elements and provide long-term protection.

1. Applications: The Bituplus G 4140 membrane is commonly used in various waterproofing applications, including flat roofs, terraces, balconies, foundations, and basements.

It’s essential to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and specifications during installation to ensure proper performance and longevity of the Bituplus G 4140 membrane.
