NILOPLAST

NiloPlast are plastomeric waterproofing membranes manufactured in advanced continuous calendaring process by saturating and coating a synthetic carrier with a waterproofing compound made of a special grade of bitumen, which is modified with APP polymers. While the APP polymers enhance the thermal, mechanical, and aging properties of the membranes compound, the mechanical characteristics of NiloPlast are established by the non-woven continuous filament spun-bond Polyester or Glassfiber mat which acts as the reinforcement that provides the membrane with its particular tensile strength, tear resistance, puncture resistance and elongation properties. The upper surface of NiloPlast is covered with an anti-adhesive finish material while the lower surface is laminated with a thermo-fusible polyethylene film.

APPLICATION: NiloPlast is usually applied by using a propane torch or a hot air generator as well as by mechanical fastening. It can also be applied using special adhesives in cold or hot applications. The substrate surface must be clean, dry, smooth, and free from any irregularities. According to the surface conditions, a coat of BituNil primer maybe required prior to the application of the membrane. NiloPlast can be applied to the substrate fully bonded, semi bonded or loose laid, and the method of adhesion to the substrate shall be decided according to the waterproofing system design. Side laps should be from 8-10 cm, while end laps should be from 12-15 cm. For more info on application refer to BituNil application guide.

STORAGE & HANDLING: NiloPlast rolls should be kept in an upright position in a flat, properly ventilated and sheltered storage area.
