Testudo 30

Torch applied 5 mm thick high performance reinforced elastoplastomeric polymer – bitumen bridge deck waterproofing membrane.

Testudo 30 is manufactured from distilled bitumen, selected for industrial use, with a high content of elastomeric and plastomeric polymer additives to obtain a phase inversion compound. The performance of the compound is therefore incremented along with the durability and the resistance to high and low temperatures while the already optimum adhesive and impermeable qualities of the bitumen remain unchanged. Testudo 30 is reinforced with a high weight (300 gm), isotropic, thermally fixed, rot-proof, non-woven single strand spunbond polyester fabric.

This ensures a very strong membrane with notable ultimate elongation and an optimal resistance to puncture and piercing. The top face of Testudo 30 is coated with a uniformly distributed, fine, serigraphed talc, a patented treatment. This enables quick unrolling and installation of the membrane with reliable and fast welding of the joints.

The underside of the membrane is coated with Flamina and embossing. The Flamina is a plastic film that melts when torched. The embossing maintains the pre-tension and optimal retraction of the film and allows the torch a greater surface area for faster and more reliable installation.

USES

Testudo 30 membrane is characterised by a high resistance to puncture and is therefore particularly suitable for single layer waterproofing systems where high mechanical resistance is required, such as:

• Bridge decks
• Road ways
• Viaducts
• Carparks
• Foundations
• Earthquake-proof foundations
• Subways
• Tunnels

ADVANTAGES

• Uniform thickness – eliminating likelihood of uneven application possible with liquid applied membranes
• 300gram non-woven single strand spunbond polyester fabric reinforcement
• Excellent stability at both high and low temperatures
• Has excellent durability and flexibility
• Testudo 30 conforms to the Italian Motorways Company’s specification
