BITUTHENE® 3000/3000 HC
High performance waterproofing membrane for sub-structures and flat deck applications
Product Description
BITUTHENE® 3000/3000 HC is a high performance, cold-applied, flexible, preformed waterproof membrane combining a special high performance, cross-laminated, HDPE carrier film with a unique self-adhesive rubber bitumen compound.
Product Advantages
- Waterproof — high hydrostatic head resistance
- High density cross-laminated polyethylene film
- Provides dimensional stability
- Provides puncture resistance
- Single layer — simple, reliable, low labour cost with the benefit of site programmed installation. Water and moisture proof - provides protection for Basement Grade 1, 2 and 3 as per BS 8102:2009 and IS 1647 1:2017.
- Gas Resistant — methane, carbon dioxide and radon gas protection in excess of the standard membrane requirements in BRE Reports 211 (radon) and 212 (methane and carbon dioxide)
- Cold-applied
- No flame hazard
- No heating required
- Self-adhesive rubberised asphalt
- Continuity ensured at overlaps
- Unique rubber/bitumen formulation allows healing of small punctures
- Factory controlled thickness — no variation by site practices
- Chemically-resistant — provides effective external protection against aggressive environments and ozone attack
- Flexible — accommodates minor settlement and shrinkage movement
- Tanking security — combined flexible membrane and waterstop system for security
Applications
- Basement
- Sub-structures
- Flat decks
- Roof assemblies
- Elevated or grade level podiums

Following the application and inspection, care should be taken to prevent damage by following trades. As soon as practicable after the application, BITUTHENE® 3000/3000 HC should be protected from exposure to the weather and physical damage using Bituthene protection boards, insulation or HYDRODUCT® drainage composites laid dry.
Any punctured or damaged areas should be cleaned and patched using BITUTHENE® 3000/3000 HC with minimum 50mm laps all around.
Following the application, care should be taken to prevent damage by following trades by using Bituthene protection boards spot bonded with Pak Adhesive or a 25mm screed as horizontal protection. Vertical faces to be protected against damage from backfilling and reinforcement by using Bituthene protection boards spot bonded with Pak Adhesive.
The junction between the slab and parapet shall have a fillet of Bituthene Liquid Membrane or other acceptable methods placed firmly into position before using 300mm wide reinforcing corner strips of BITUTHENE® 3000/3000 HC placed centrally over the axis of the change of direction.
Always apply Bituthene membrane directly to primed or conditioned structural substrates. Insulation, if used, must be applied over the membrane. Do not apply Bituthene membranes over lightweight insulating concrete.
