    This document provides information on Proofex GPX, a cold-applied cross-laminated bituminous waterproofing membrane. It is a 1.6mm thick self-adhesive sheet membrane composed of a polymer-modified bitumen layer reinforced with polyester film. It adheres well to primed concrete and produces a continuous waterproof barrier. The membrane is cold-applied in rolls and has advantages such as fast application, uniform thickness, and good adhesion. It is reinforced with a cross-laminated film for superior performance in waterproofing building and civil engineering structures.

    Proofex GPX*

    Cold applied cross laminated bituminous


    waterproofing membrane
    Uses

    To provide a continuously bonded waterproof membrane for


    building and civil engineering structures.
    Advantages

    n 1.6mm thick (Nominal).


    n Cold applied.
    n Fast application.
    n Uniform thickness of polymer bitumen membrane.
    n Good adhesion to primed concrete substrates.
    n Produces a continuous waterproof membrane system.
    n Cross laminated film for superior performance

    Description

    Proofex GPX is a cold applied self-adhesive sheet membrane


    comprising of a polymer modified bitumen layer internally
    reinforced with polyester, bonded on to an outer surface of
    polyethylene film.
    The polymer bitumen adhesive layer is protected on the
    underside by a silicone release paper which is removed just
    prior to the application of Proofex GPX to the tack coat primed
    substrate. A peel-off selvedge strip is provided enabling a
    bitumen to bitumen bond at edge laps.

    Instructions for use

    Surface preparation

    The applied membrane is then immediately protected from


    UV light and from mechanical damage during subsequent
    back filling by the application of Protection Board, or a sand/
    cement screed.

    Concrete surfaces should be float finished and free from cavities


    and projecting nibs. All surfaces shall be dry and free from frost,
    surface laitence and contamination.

    Specification

    Proofex Tack Coat 6HT must be applied to the substrate and allowed
    to dry until it is tack free, prior to the application of the membrane.
    All surfaces must be re-primed if left for more than 24 hours prior to
    the application of Proofex GPX.

    The waterproofing membrane shall be a 1.6mm thick self


    adhesive sheet membrane comprising of a polymer modified
    bitumen layer internally reinforced with polyester, bonded on
    to an outer surface of polyethylene film. The polymer modified
    bitumen shall have an elongation in excess of 2000% when
    tested in accordance with ASTM D412.
    Technical support

    Proofex GPX

    Properties

    Fosroc offers a comprehensive technical support service to


    specifiers, end users and contractors. It is also able to offer
    on-site technical assistance, an AutoCAD facility and
    dedicated specification assistance in locations all over the
    world.

    Priming

    Application
    Smooth transition should be made at wall/floor slab junctions using
    a sand/cement mortar and internal and external corners at walls and
    upstands pre-protected with Proofex Corner Pieces prior to the
    application of the membrane.
    The membrane should be applied to the substrate having first
    removed the siliconised release paper, pressing the polyethylene
    film firmly ensuring that the adhesive bitumen compound bonds
    continuously to the substrate with no air pockets.

    Allow at least a 75mm edge and a 150mm end lap. Before


    forming edge laps, remove the peel-off selvedge strip from
    the previously laid sheet to form a clean, dry bitumen bond.
    All laps should be rolled firmly to achieve a good seal. End
    laps should be staggered.
    On vertical or inclined surfaces, the membrane shall be laid
    from the lowest level upwards.

    Storage

    All products have a shelf life of 12 months if stored in a cool,


    dry store, away from sources of heat, in the original unopened
    packing. It should be stored horizontally, not more than one
    pallet high.
    Precautions

    The membrane should be protected immediately after application


    in accordance with BS 8102:1990 by using Protection Board*,
    or as appropriate with a sand/cement screed.

    Health and safety

    Limitations

    If Proofex Tack Coat 6HT is swallowed, do not induce vomiting


    - drink a glass of water. If contact with eyes occurs, flood with
    copious amounts of clean water for at least 15 minutes and
    seek medical advice. If on the skin, remove any contaminated
    clothing and wash skin thoroughly.

    Application temperature range: 5C - 50C.


    For application below 15C it may be necessary to slightly
    warm the back of the membrane to achieve an immediate
    bond. In cold conditions the membrane should be stored at
    temperatures above 20C prior to application to facilitate ease
    of application and immediate bond to the substrate.

    For further information, please consult Material Safety Data


    Sheets for the above products.
