TECTENE BV

TECTENE BV EP is a vapour barrier which has the upper face already spread with adhesive. It needs only to be activated with the heat of a flame to make it immediately effective. Compared with normal bitumen, the adhesive remains effective for longer, even at temperatures close to zero, leaving the operator time to apply the polystyrene panel without, however, causing it to melt, but then, once cooling has taken place, the adhesive has already set and grips the panel tenaciously. TECTENE BV EP is a waterproofing membrane in polymer distilled bitumen, based on distilled bitumen selected for industrial use with a high content of elastomeric and plastomeric polymers, which create a “phase inversion” bond whose continuous phase is formed of the polymer in which the bitumen is dispersed, with the characteristics being determined by its polymeric nature rather
