      How to Use

      SURFACE PREPARATION & PRIMING

      The surface where the membrane will be laid is to
      be made clean and dry. All surface imperfections
      and protrusions are to be removed and repaired.
      Structurally unsound and friable concrete must be
      removed and repaired with a suitable repair
      mortar.
      Apply Polyprime SB @ 4-6 m²/lt. as per ASTM D
      41 to a clean smooth and dry surface by brush,
      roller or spray. Refer primer data sheet for more
      details. Allow the primer to dry.

      ALIGNMENT & TORCHING

      Unroll and align BITUPLUS AR 4000 rolls and re-roll
      correctly before torching. Overlap should be
      minimum of 100 mm.
      Use gas burner to heat substrate and underside of
      BITUPLUS AR 4000 Embossing on the lower face of
      the membrane allows a fast and safe laying. When
      embossing disappears after torching the
      membrane is ready to stick. Roll forward and press
      firmly against the substrate to bond.
      Caution: Do not over torch as this will expose the
      reinforcement in the membrane and cause
      damage to it.

      UP STAND

      All angles and abutments should be sealed with
      extra care to ensure full bondage. Seal the edges
      well into the grooves and protect with Polyseal PS PG
      or any other mastic sealant
