3.5mm Combined Reinforced APP Bitumen Membrane
Cold flexibility to -5?C
Excellent elongation
Prefabricated membrane
ARDEX WPM 180 (Shelterbit Fibrepol 180) is an A.P.P. (Atactic Polypropylene Plastomeric) type modified bitumen membrane consisting of a specially formulated bituminous compound of distilled asphalt modified with selected high grade visco-elastic polymers and reinforced with a combined reinforcement (polyester and fibreglass).
ARDEX WPM 180 is coated with either a sanded or talc top surface finish while the bottom surface is embossed and protected by a heat sensitive polythene film. This type of finish for the lower surface has been chosen for two specific purposes.
1. To act as a temperature gauge during application. When the film melts it shows that the compound is at the correct temperature.
2. The embossing is to allow the gases to rapidly escape when heated to its correct installation temperature avoiding possible problems of bubbling and blistering.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ARDEX WPM 180 (Shelterbit Fibrepol 180) is an A.P.P.
(Atactic Polypropylene Plastomeric) type modified
bitumen membrane consisting of a specially formulated
bituminous compound of distilled asphalt modified with
selected high grade visco-elastic polymers and reinforced
with a combined reinforcement (polyester and fibreglass).
ARDEX WPM 180 is coated with either a sanded or talc
top surface finish while the bottom surface is embossed
and protected by a heat sensitive polythene film. This
type of finish for the lower surface has been chosen for
two specific purposes.
1. To act as a temperature gauge during application.
When the film melts it shows that the compound is
at the correct temperature.
2. The embossing is to allow the gases to rapidly escape
when heated to its correct installation temperature
avoiding possible problems of bubbling and blistering.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
A.P.P. modified compound
Excellent cold flexibility to -5?C
Excellent elongation
Heat welded laps provide homogenous joint
Prefabricated membrane
Good elastic memory
Combined reinforcement carrier
High mechanical characteristics
High puncture resistance
Good elongation
Will not decay
USES
ARDEX WPM 180 is used as a single layer or multi-layer
tanking membrane in horizontal or vertical applications
also for waterproofing balconies terraces and roofs.
ARDEX WPM 180 membrane is a sandwich membrane
and must be protected from UV radiation.
INSTALLATION
The application of ARDEX WPM 180 should be carried
out by an accredited applicator.
Installation shall be strictly in accordance with the
manufacturers recommendations.
Acceptable substrates to which ARDEX WPM 180 is
to be installed must be properly prepared prior to
membrane installation.
All surfaces must be dry clean smooth free of sharp
edges loose or foreign materials oil grease and other
materials which may damage the membrane.
Prior to the application of ARDEX WPM 180 base
substrate surfaces should be primed with ARDEX WPM
240 (Shelterbit Primer). Coverage of primer will depend
on the porosity of the substrate.
ARDEX WPM 180 is normally fully bonded to the
prepared substrate with side laps of 75mm and end laps
of 100mm. Overlaps shall be sealed by torch.
ARDEX WPM 180 may be used in various combinations
to produce a variety of specifications tailored to suit the
individual waterproofing need.
The exact specification will depend on functional and
economic requirements. Advice should be sought for
suitable specification from ARDEX Australia Pty Ltd.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ARDEX WPM 180 is hazardous; non-dangerous goods.
However during installation exercise caution when working
with open flame. Examine all surfaces to which the flame
has been applied for smouldering or burning conditions.
Do not use open flame on or near highly combustible
materials. Follow all local fire codes.
STORAGE
All rolls of ARDEX WPM 180 should be stored in
a covered area protected against sunlight and UV
radiation. Rolls should be stored in a vertical position
on a smooth floor so as not to damage the edges.
PACKAGING
Roll size: 1m x 10m
Roll weight: Approximately 42kg
