Tekhnoelast EPP is used to create a roofing sheet of buildings and structures, waterproofing protection of foundations, basements, as well as other structures that are subject to constant pressure and deformation. It is very durable and flexible.
Tekhnoelast EPP: characteristics
This product is an SBS-modified roofing multifunctional waterproofing material. Its application provides the maximum level of reliability. Technoelast EPP is mounted by deposition. It is a lining material, therefore, the proper arrangement of the roof or waterproofing implies the mandatory application of a top layer. The material is very practical in installation and operation.
Waterproofing
Technoelast EPP does not deform under loads and pressure. The material is simply stretched, maintaining the integrity of the structure. The canvas does not rot and is resistant to temperature extremes. It is intended for waterproofing the following types of objects:
- pools;
- underground garages;
- boiler rooms;
- industrial and load roofs;
- underground vaults;
- foundations.
This material is perfectly combined with ECP technoelast (product for creating the outer layer).
Composition
Technoelast is a bitumen material consisting of a polyester base, a polymer-based cementitious layer and a special protective film. This canvas can be considered duplicated. A composition of bitumen, butadiene styrene thermoplastic elastomer and a filler is applied on its base from two sides. The latter also has two-sided protection (polymer film). The basis of the canvas is white polyester, which consists of individual fibers. Thanks to it, Technoelast EPP is characterized by high strength, resistance to high humidity and precipitation. Compared to fiberglass, which stretches only within 2% of its size, polyester is very plastic. Therefore, it is more suitable for operation in conditions of deformation and severe loads. Technoelast EPP is a biostable material. Bottom and top it is covered with a plastic film, which protects the fabric from sticking during transportation or storage in rolls.
Mounting
EPP technoelast laying is carried out using a gas burner using the deposition method. All work should be carried out, adhering to the sequence of actions. First you need to prepare the foundation. It is necessary to remove all debris, repair the pits and cracks with a special cement-sand based repair compound or mastic. Then it is necessary to prime the surface with a bitumen-gasoline solution (1: 3) or with a primer. It must be completely dry. After that, you can start trying on. Rolls are unfolded and laid out on the base in order to estimate the required volume for laying. If necessary, you can make material cuts with a roofing knife. Then it is rolled up again. For surfacing, technoelast and base are uniformly and simultaneously heated. The roll is gradually rolled out and the web is pressed to the surface. It is lapped (80-100 mm).
Features of waterproofing
Technoelast EPP is a very high-quality and modern material. It has excellent technical specifications and is relatively cheap. Of course, its price is slightly higher than that of conventional analogues, but this material is very economical, which as a result leads to greater benefits. In addition, this waterproofing roofing sheet is much easier and more convenient to lay. And it serves for a very long time, which allows you to recoup its cost.
Tekhnoelast EPP-Thermo
This material is delivered in rolls. It is an SBS-modified roofing and waterproofing sheet of high reliability. The material is used to create roofing carpets, equip waterproofing foundations and other capital structures with high reliability requirements. It can be used in all climatic zones. Unlike the standard-type web, technoelast-thermo has an increased heat resistance, which significantly increases its service life. When heated, bitumen compounds do not evaporate into the atmosphere. This material is very durable and flexible. Its application provides the highest reliability and durability of the waterproofing roofing layer.
