NEXGEN GREENSHIELD PE Membrane is a high performance, heat weldable, single side fleece backed Polyethylene (HDPE) sheet, manufactured & supplied in specific thickness, designed for waterproofing basements & podiums of new buildings. The membrane is designed for adhesion to RCC for easy application below rafts & reinforcements.
Based on advanced polymer chemistry, the membrane has excellent resistance to chemical acids, bases, alkalis, salts and other corrosive materials, while providing a barrier to water seepage from below ground. The sheet remains flexible over years, maintaining its integrity and continuing to provide protection.
High mechanical properties of the membrane ensure superior puncture resistance, breaking & tearing strength, while enabling excellent heat weld for fusion along the edges.
Features & Benefits
- Supplied in pre-manufactured standard thickness. No need to worry of thickness variation at site, unlike liquid applied systems.
- Outstanding puncture resistance, high breaking and tearing strength, with very high peel strength of seam joints and heat welds
- Chlorine free, plasticizer free, phthalate free. Environmentally friendly and safe for humans
- Exceptional resistance to heat, UV, Ozone, bacteria, chemical, acid corrosion
- Resistance to root penetration, suitable for green roofs
- Continuous serviceability from -30oC to 100oC – without cracking, tearing or brittleness failure
