A pre-fabricated waterproofing membrane

Description

ABAK FIBERBOND is a pre-fabricated waterproofing membrane specifically designed to offer exceptional pliability, tensile strength, workability, and resistance to various elements. Its unique multilayered construction features a glass fibre core that is coated on both sides with catalytically air-blown asphalt bitumen. The glass fibre core provides excellent dimensional stability and enhances the membrane’s tensile strength.

ABAK FIBERBOND combines the reliable waterproofing qualities of bitumen with the ease and efficiency of torch-on application. When installed correctly, ABAK FIBERBOND forms a flexible, impervious, and waterproof barrier capable of accommodating normal structural movement without compromising its integrity.

Usage

ABAK FIBERBOND membranes are suitable for a wide range of waterproofing applications, including roofs, reservoirs, basements, tunnels, and car parks.

Application

ABAK FIBERBOND can be installed using the torch welding method, loose-laid, or fully bonded to the substrate. In the case of loose-laid installation, only laps need to be bonded together. Peripheries and protrusions should be sealed according to the provided specifications.

Advantages

  • Excellent cost-performance ratio
  • Resistant to fatigue and tear
  • Exceptional bondability and seam integrity
  • Impact and puncture resistant
  • Reduces costs with single-layer installation

General Data

Nominal Weight: Available in 3kg, 4kg, or 5kg per square meter
Nominal Thickness: Available in 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm
Nominal Roll Size: 1 meter x 10 meters
Reinforcement: Nonwoven glassmat, 50-60 grams per square meter

Coverage- Rate

(Note: Rate may vary depending on site requirements)

Flat areas: 1.15 square meters per layer, considering 10 cm side laps and 15 cm end laps.
Base flashing: 100×35 cm with 15 cm end laps, covering approximately 0.40 square meters per linear meter.
Average wastage: 3% – 5%

Torchin Guidelines

To ensure proper installation, the underside of the membrane should be torched just enough to superficially melt the bitumen. Excessive heating can potentially damage the reinforcement. Overlaps should be reheated from the top and securely sealed with a trowel to maintain seam integrity
