Remove the release film of the membrane, BITUSTICK XL by peeling back not more
than 30cms at a time.
Start to unroll the membrane keeping the adhesive side to face down on the primed
surface.
Press down the membrane, working from the center to the outer edges to expel all trap
air, ensuring good adhesion to the primed substrate that membrane is being applied to.
Membranes are produced with a selvage to facilitate forming lap joints, while ensuring
continuity of the membrane.
Once the first roll has been applied to the substrate, place the next roll alongside same
overlapping the selvage, rolling out and aligning properly.
Roll back the membrane without changing the give orientation. Then peel back the
selvage release strip from the first roll no more than a meter at a time.
Peel back the release film on the second roll using the same method above.
End laps should be formed using a minimum end lap of 15cms. Press end laps firmly
down or rolled if possible.

Technical Data Sheet Copy of POLYPRIME SB
POLYPRIME SB
TDS_Polyprime-SB_GCC_1209
POLYPRIME SB is a quick drying solvent based low viscosity bitumen primer. It is used as a primer coat on
masonry and concrete substrates to improve the adhesion of bitumen based membranes and coatings.
POLYPRIME SB is low in viscosity, which allows it to penetrate into the concrete pores and improve the adhesion between the membrane and the concrete surface. In addition to that, the primer also acts as a
binder for the dust particles which gets accumulated on the concrete surface even after cleaning.
CHARACTERISTICS
Improves the adhesion between bitumen based
sheet membranes and coatings.
Cold applied, does not require heating.
Binder for dust particles.
As a curing compound on freshly cast concrete.
Excellent barrier against chloride and sulphate
ion ingress and carbon dioxide diffusion.
Anti corrosive.
Conforms to the following standards:
ASTM D 41 - Asphalt primer for roofing, damp
proofing and waterproofing
BS 3416, Type A Class C - Bitumen based
coatings for cold application, suitable for use in
contact with potable water.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
POLYPRIME SB is used as a primer and sealer coat
prior to the application of bitumen based waterproofing membranes and coatings. This can also
be used as a curing compound on freshly cast concrete.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
The application temperature should be between
4C to 45C. Application procedures may vary
slightly depending upon site conditions. The general recommended guidelines for the application
of the primer is as follows:
Surface preparation
The surface shall be cleaned thoroughly of all
contaminants like dust, traces of curing compound,
oil and grease. All surface imperfections, nail head
protrusions, structurally unsound and friable concrete shall be removed and repaired with a suitable POLYCRETE* concrete repair mortar. The surface
must be dry before priming with POLYPRIME SB.
Application
Mix the contents of the pail or drum for a few minutes to remove any sediments. Apply the primer
@4-6 m/lt. to a clean smooth and dry surface by
brush, roller or airless spray. Allow the primer to dry
prior to the application of the membrane. For
highly porous surfaces application of a second
coat is recommended.
COVERAGE
The coverage is 4-6 m/lt./coat. However, the
coverage will depend on the porosity of the substrate. In order to ascertain the exact coverage, a
trial application is carried out at site.

Technical Data Sheet Copy of BITUSTICK XL
BITUSTICK XL
TDS_Bitustick-XL_GCC_1209
BITUSTICK XL is a self adhesive waterproofing membrane based on a tropical grade of polymer modified
bitumen. The bitumen compound is laminated onto an impervious, non-perforated, cross laminated HDPE
film. The membrane is protected on the self adhesive side with a silicone coated release film. BITUSTICK
XL conforms to the requirements of BS 8102.
CHARACTERISTICS
Specially formulated for tropical climate grade.
Provides protection against water and vapor.
Self adhesive. Requires just peeling off the silicone film and sticking to the surface.
Excellent adhesion to vertical and horizontal
surfaces.
Excellent resistance to chlorides, sulphates, alkalis and acids.
Good tear and puncture resistance.
Excellent tensile strength.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
BITUSTICK XL is used as waterproofing and damp
proofing membrane intended for concrete protection. It may be used for horizontal and vertical application for tanking below ground structures, subways and retaining walls.

Surface preparation
The surface shall be cleaned thoroughly of all

Priming
Apply POLYPRIME SB* (Solvent based primer) @ 46 m/lt. as per ASTM D 41 to a clean smooth and
dry surface by brush, roller or spray. Allow the
primer to dry prior to the application of the membrane. As the viscosity of the primer is low, it easily
penetrates into the concrete pores which promotes
the adhesion between the membrane and the concrete surface. In addition to that the primer also acts

HANDLING
BITUSTICK XL membranes are packed in loose corrugated boxes to avoid any damage during transit or during storage at sites. Care should be taken
when storing the membranes at sites and should
not be kept within close proximity of any sharp or

Technical Data Sheet Copy of BITUBOARD
%,78%2$5'
TDS_Bituboard_GCC_0910
BITUBOARD is a multi layer, asphaltic protection board. It is manufactured by thermally bonding polymer
modified bitumen with selected additives which is then sandwiched between a layer of saturated fibreglass on one side and anti-stick polyethylene liner on the other.
CHARACTERISTICS
BITUBOARD
BITUSTICK XL
Non bio-degradable
Weather, warp and rot proof
Tough and durable
Excellent resistance to chemicals
Improved puncture resistance
Compatible with most waterproofing systems
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
BITUBOARD has been designed for use as a permanent protection to most waterproofing and damp
proofing systems, especially the bitumen based
sheet membrane and coating systems indicated in
BS 8102. BITUBOARD will absorb the impact of aggregate shock, normal site foot traffic and protect
the waterproofing membrane from penetration by
the sharp edges of reinforced steel and aggregate
during the backfill process and late settlement.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
The application of BITUBOARD should be carried
out when the ambient temperature is between 4C
and 45C and should avoided in case of extreme
weather conditions such as sand storms, rain, etc.
BITUBOARD can be fixed on top of the waterproofing
membrane by using a double sided adhesive tape
(BITUTAPE TS)* or even by torching (for fixing over
torch applied membranes). Once the protection
board is fixed in place, supports/props have to be
used to keep the boards in place till the adhesive
is strong enough to hold the board. Subsequent
boards shall be laid continuously by butt fitting the
edges. For irregular profiles, the board shall be cut
to fit all intersections and protrusions.The butt joints
can be sealed with 50mm HDPE bitumen adhesive
strip to prevent any backfill material entering and
causing damage to the underlying waterproofing
membrane.
Primer
HANDLING
BITUBOARD is shrink-wrapped and loaded on pallets
for easy handling. The pallets should be loaded or
offloaded with the help of a crane or forklift to prevent damage to the protection boards. If the
boards are unloaded individually, it is to be ensured that they are stacked back on a pallet or on
a flat surface.
