Bituproof Protector
BTM Bituproof Protector is an SBS-modified (elastomeric bitumen) waterproofing membrane reinforced with a special polyester felt and featuring a self-adhesive backing layer. It is designed for use beneath raft foundations (foundation slabs) as part of foundation waterproofing systems.
The membrane adheres to reinforced concrete through a combination of mechanical bonding and the heat generated during concrete hydration. With its high elasticity and superior performance characteristics, it can be applied using a torch flame and provides durable, long-term waterproofing protection.
