Sikaplan®-1651 Loose VOC Gas Barrier
Verified by manufacturer 2 months ago
A loose laid, multi-layer, polyethylene membrane for ground level waterproofing and gas protection. It has exceptionally high resistance to ground gas and VOCs.
Application
Suitable for use as ground gas, hydrocarbon protection and waterproofing at ground level or below ground installations.
Description
Sikaplan®-1651 Loose VOC Gas Barrier is specifically designed, manufactured, tested and certified to perform as a methane, carbon dioxide, radon, ground gas, VOC, air and moisture and hydrocarbon protection system. It is typically used for the gas and waterproofing of ground-level structures where harmful ground gases are anticipated.
Features and benefits:
- Quick and easy installation.
- A fully welded system.
- High resistance to ground gases.
- Exceptional chemical resistance.
- Manufactured to meet the most up-to-date British Standards and guidance.
- Long term durability (performance guarantees for the lifetime of the building).
Approvals/ standards:
- Conforms to the requirements of EN13967:2012.
- NHBC Standards Compliant.
- CIRIA C748 Compliant (VOC barrier).
- BS 8485:2015 + A1:2019 Compliant (methane and carbon dioxide barrier).
- BBA Certified – Certificate No: 20/5738.
