Storage:
= BITUMODE membranes should be stored vertically in well covered and ventilated place not subject to direct sunlight
[APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
“BITUMODE membranes are installed by propane torch welding method, loose lad or fuly borded tothe substrate depending on system
Fequiremenis
\Witle unioading from truck the rolls shal by no means allowed to fal or be thrown down from the truck
‘To avoid applying the membrane to comers with 90 "C angle, sand cement cant stip 5x9 cm should be executed at horizontal - vertical
intersections
+ Surface 10 be waterproofed should be clean, dry, free from dust and smooth, in case of iregular surface a sand coment screed is
recommended
+ Before laying BITUMODE membranes, surface should be primed with cold applied bituminous primer (NIROL.~S)
‘Membrane 's unrolled and placed in aligned positon
+ Each rll should overlap the next by 10cm side taps and 16cm staggered end laps
+ Then, membrane should be fevolled about half ofits length without changing ils orientation
* Using a propane gas torch the membrane is un-olled again slowly while applying the fare to the entire exposed lowe face (For fully
