Description
Paraflex ARD/S and ARD/HS are modified bitumen SBS polymer waterproofing membranes intended for all waterproofing applications including; Flat Roofs, Terraces, Podiums, Car Parks and Bridge Decks, Tunnels, Foundations and Underground Structures.
The Paraflex range of waterproofing membranes, is FM approved and may be used in new build and refurbishment applications and is suitable for application in low temperature conditions. Paraflex remains flexible at low temperatures and exhibits high resistance to thermal stress.
Paraflex membranes are manufactured with a slate granule coating to the upper surface of the membrane in various colours, offering UV protection and slip resistance. The membrane compound is reinforced with a synthetic non-woven continuous filament polyester fabric, enabling plasticity, elastic behaviour and superior resistance to mechanical damage. The lower face is coated with Termotene® fusible film which aids unrolling and facilitates torch bonding to various substrates.
The Paraflex SBS bitumen compound’s special formulation ensures high mechanical performance, cold flexibility at temperatures down to –25°C and excellent fatigue strength. Paraflex membranes contain no asbestos, tar or other dangerous substances.
Whilst Paraflex membranes can be included in compliant BROOF (t4) systems, always check with MOY Technical Services for the latest information on testing carried out.
British Board of Agrément (BBA) certified, Irish Agrément (NSAI) certified, CE marked. FM approved.
