Application

Suitable for use as a ground gas hydrocarbon protection and waterproofing at ground level or below ground installations.

Description

Sikaplan®-1652 Bonded VOC Gas Barrier is a pre-applied fully bonded waterproofing membrane incorporating Sikaplan®-1651 Loose VOC Gas Barrier membrane and a heavy duty virgin polypropylene geotextile. The geotextile is laminated to the membrane to provide a dual function; protecting the membrane from damage and providing an integrated 'bond' to poured concrete, ensuring a fully bonded waterproofing barrier which has exceptionally high resistance to ground gas and VOCs. It is used for the gas/ waterproofing/ tanking of underground 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 guaranteed for the lifetime of the building).


Approvals/ standards:

  • Conforms to the requirements of EN13967:2012
  • NHBC Standards Compliant.
  • BS 8485:2015 + A1:2019 Compliant (Methane and Carbon Dioxide Barrier).
  • CIRIA C748 Compliant (VOC barrier).
  • BS 8102:2022 Compliant (Type A Waterproofing Barrier).
  • BBA Certified - Certificate No: 19/5681.
