GGM 400 Gas Membrane - Loose Laid Sheet Membrane
Verified by manufacturer 2 months ago
Loose laid sheet membrane system designed to protect buildings against the ingress of methane, radon, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon vapours and water vapour.
Application
- Sites with medium to high level gas concentrations.
- Sites with low to medium level hydrocarbon vapour contamination.
- Ground bearing concrete slabs.
- Suspended concrete slabs.
Description
GGM 400 Gas Membrane is a high performance, reinforced polyethylene loose laid membrane incorporating a gas resistant aluminium foil.
GGM 400 is designed to protect buildings against the ingress of methane, radon, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon vapours and water vapour. The multi-layered laminate structure gives good strength, flexibility and installation properties. The upper surface of the membrane is coloured green.
Features and benefits:
- Fully compatible with Preprufe and Bituthene membrane systems to form an integrated waterproof and gas resistant protection system.
- Prevents the transmission of methane, radon and carbon dioxide gases.
- Resistant to hydrocarbon vapours.
- Fully bonded lap system.
- Robust – resistant to on-site damage.
- Good puncture resistance.
- High tear and tensile strength.
- Flexible – can accommodate normal building movements.
- Weldable.
