The system an overview
Rhepanol fk advantages
One, two, three, sealed! Application is incredibly easy and safe: Roll out Rhepanol fk, clean the seam area, pull off the protective strip and press down the edge sealed! The same goes for all preformed details, which are also equipped with the unique selfsealing edge system.
The roofing membrane with a strong character Tried and tested long-term reliability, over 50 years of experience with polyisobutylene The oldest synthetic roofing membrane made in Germany With a unique self-sealing edge for reliable and fast sealing of seams Fleece backing with extremely high tensile strength Made of polyisobutylene (PIB), therefore compatible with bitumen One roofing membrane for all application methods The only roofing membrane to be applied with the Gripfix system Resistant to UV-radiation Flexible at temperatures as low as 60 C Free of plasticizers Application without open flame No need for surface protection Comprehensive warranty on materials Ideal for refurbishment
Industrially pre-fabricated self-sealing edge for reliable and fast sealing of seams.
The self-sealing edge system The pre-fabricated self-sealing edge system is different from conventional adhesive bonding. Sealing of the seams is carried out by firmly joining homogenous materials. Immediately after the self-sealing edge has been pressed to the connecting membrane the seam is already waterproof. Owing to the integrated selfsealing edge, seams can be sealed without open flame, hot air, solvent welding or additional adhesives, making application more efficient and almost independent of weather conditions.
... roll out It only takes three steps: Rhepanol fk with self-sealing edge system.
... clean the seam, pull off the protective strip
... roll on the edge ... sealed!

Safety and functional efficiency, supporting construction
The mechanical fastening of Rhepanol fk with Gripfix system ensures secure, fast and effective laying.
Rhepanol fk is compatible with bitumen and can be applied without additional separation layers directly on to old bituminous sheets. The integrated synthetic fleece protects the membrane against movement originating from the substrate. Application instructions Supporting construction The supporting deck structure has to meet the requirements with regard to load-bearing capacity, deflection, anchorage and drainage. Substrates for application must be free of open cracks, concrete, rough and sharp projections. Joints have to be formed according to constructional requirements, as their width or movement may impede the functional efficiency of the roof seal. Clean, dry and even roof surfaces. If Rhepanol fk is directly laid on concrete decks/screed allow the concrete/screed to set for at least 28 days. The effect of air escaping from the building at the roof perimeter and at roof penetrations must be prevented. Therefore these areas have to be made airtight. In the case of profiled steel decking, seal around all openings and perimeters. For compatibility reasons, timber board cladding, chipboards and similar may be treated only with salt-based wood preservatives. Oil or solvent based impregnation agents must not be used. National standards and regulations must be observed.
Safety and functional efficiency With mechanical fastening the roof sealing is separated from the lower layers and components across the complete area. Movements of these layers and components can therefore not pass on stresses to the sealing, which is significant for the prevention of damage, especially on lightweight roofs. The roofing membrane Rhepanol fk is rolled onto mechanically fastened Gripfix strips, providing optimal wind load distribution and securing the membrane permanently to the roof. The membrane seams run perpendicular to the Gripfix strips and thus are not affected by wind uplift forces. The integrated highly tear-resistant synthetic fleece of Rhepanol fk allows diffusion of any retained moisture.
12
Vapour control layer, thermal insulation layer
Vapour control layer In the case of non-ventilated roofs, we recommend the following vapour control layers: For non air-conditioned rooms (e.g. living rooms and offices or similar rooms without suspended ceiling): vapour barrier fk (ethylene). In the case of lightweight concrete supporting decks with correctly calculated thermal insulation, you may leave out a vapour control layer, if the room temperature stays below 20 C and the relative air humidity inside the room will not exceed 65 %. In case of doubt, we recommend a calculation of the building physics in order to identify the diffusion characteristics of the roof build-up. With lightweight steel deckings, we also recommend in principle the installation of a separate vapour control layer, which should be formed as an air barrier according to the provisions of the Thermal Insulation Regulation. The vapour barrier fk is applied with a seam overlap of 10 cm, with the seams being sealed with connection or seam tape. The vapour barrier must be taken up and flashed at connections and cappings; at roof penetrations it must be flashed. For rooms with high air condition loads: In case of air-conditioned rooms and rooms with high air condition loads, as well as high pressure rooms, there should be no mechanical fastening through the vapour barrier. In these cases please consult our experts to identify the right layer build-up and application method. National standards and regulations must be observed.
Thermal insulation layer When designing the thermal insulation layer on steel profile supporting decks, attention must be given to load bearing capacity. As materials for thermal insulation layers we recommend: For roof slopes up to 20: large-sized insulation boards made of quality assured rigid polyurethene or rigid polystyrene foam with rebated edge, size 1.20 x 1.20 m or 1.20 x 1.00 m. On top of the insulation boards, for fire protection reasons, the application of a fire protection layer a specially coated woven glass cloth will be necessary. Compressed mineral fibre insulation may also be used. Folding insulation boards or rigid polystyrene foam boards with backing. For fire protection reasons, bituminous sheets with an integrated glass fleece or fabric 60 g/m2 may be necessary as a lining. Use linings with a PE foil or fleece facing. Large-sized non-flammable mineral fibre boards. Because of better suitability for mechanical fastening we recommend boards with a greater resistance to point loads (min. 500 N at 5 mm deformation) and a higher compression strength (compressive strain at 10 % compression set min. 0.06 N/mm2). Small-sized insulation boards can be used, provided they can be properly fastened. National standards and regulations must be observed.
13
Themal insulation layer, Rhepanol fk, mechanically fastened with Gripfix system
Insulation boards or board sections that are not sufficiently fixed with Gripfix must be secured in a stable position with additional fasteners (at least 2 fasteners/m2) prior to applying the roofing membrane. Insulation materials that are not dimensionally stable and which buckle or bulge must not be installed. Generally insulation boards must be laid brick-bond pattern.
Rhepanol fk, mechanically fastened with Gripfix system The Gripfix strips are placed according to the wind uplift calculation and mechanically fastened. The Gripfix strip spacing is variable depending on the wind load requirements. The roofing membrane Rhepanol fk is then loosely laid with a seam overlap of 5 perpendicular to the Gripfix strips. The grip is achieved by thoroughly rolling the roofing membrane Rhepanol fk to the Gripfix strip. The membrane width is always 1.05 m. Depending on the substrate a variety of different fasteners may be used.

1) Not for tower-style detached buildings. Not for exposed positions. 2) Since the Gripfix strip spacing is continuously adjustable, only examples can be given.
Rhepanol fk can be mechanically fastened on roofs with any slope. At slopes exceeding 20, application should be agreed with our experts. On profiled steel deckings and timber board cladding the Gripfix strips must be arranged perpendicularly to the corrugations or boards to achieve the most regular wind load distribution possible into the supporting deck. At all flashings and cappings, roof lights etc. the build-up must be specially secured by circumferential rows of fasteners or Gripfix strips (min. 4 fasteners/m). Note:
I I
With the Gripfix system you must use only the specially marked Rhepanol fk roofing membranes. The max. wind force (including safety factor 1.5) per m Gripfix strip is 1.5 kN.
The design load is max. 0.5 kN/fastener. Instructions of the fastener manufacturer must be observed. At building heights over 20 m and in special cases (e.g. airplane hangars, buildings near the coast, extreme exposure) each characteristic of the project location and special conditions must be taken into account. On request, computer-based project specific calculations of the necessary amount of fasteners and Gripfix strip spacing are carried out, which may result in lesser amounts of fasteners than indicated in the table, provided the building has a favourable geometry.
Max. spacing of Gripfix strips see table above. Fastening spacing on the Gripfix strip min. 15 cm, max. 60 cm. Fastener spacing on the same corrugation at profiled steel deckings must not be less than 20 cm. Use only fasteners with washers of max. 5 cm width.

Flashings and cappings
All flashings and cappings are carried out with Rhepanol fk flashing strips. If the connecting membrane is bonded, then at flashing heights over 20 cm a full-size adhesive bond is necessary. Valley areas are left unbonded at a width of 20 cm to allow movement compensation. If the connecting membrane is mechanically fastened with Gripfix strips the following spacing must be observed (s. also sketch): Distance of the first Gripfix strip from the internal corner of the parapet max. 10 cm Spacing between the Gripfix strips or distance between Gripfix strip and upper capping max. 50 cm. With wall flashings, the upper edge of the Rhepanol fk roofing membrane is pressed to the substrate with rigid wall connection profiles such as Classic and additionally secured with sealant A or S. The two-part FDT roof edge trims ensure flexible, yet windproof capping of the roof perimeter. Forming of flashings and cappings is identical for all application methods. You will find details on this topic in the drawings Technical details.

Additional requirements for roof refurbishment:

I
In the case of uneven substrates, protection layers are necessary. Rigid polystyrene foam insulation boards or sheets can be recommended. The strength of the supporting deck is crucial for the anchoring of the fastening elements. If there is doubt about the strength, e.g. of old pumice stone or lightweight concrete panels, pullout tests will be necessary to define the amount of fasteners depending on the object.

Safety and functional efficiency, supporting construction, vapour control layer
Safety and functional efficiency Because of loose laying, the roof covering is separated from the other layers of the build-up across the complete area. Movements and cracks in the supporting construction are not transferred into the roof covering. The ballast ensures the membrane remains secure against wind uplift forces. Rhepanol fk is compatible with bitumen and can be applied without additional separation layers directly on old bituminous sheets.
The roof slope should not exceed 3 to prevent the ballast slipping off. An intrusion of air underneath the roof covering at the roof perimeter and at roof penetrations must be prevented. Therefore these areas have to be made windtight. For compatibility reasons, timber board cladding, chipboards and similar may be treated only with salt-based wood preservatives. Oil or solvent based impregnation agents must not be used. National standards and regulations must be observed.
The integrated, highly tear-resistant synthetic fleece of Rhepanol fk allows diffusion, ensuring reliable vapour pressure compensation. Furthermore the fleece backing provides protection against stresses originating from the substrate. Application instructions Supporting construction
I
Vapour control layer In the case of non-ventilated roofs, we recommend the following vapour control layers:
I
For non air-conditioned rooms (e.g. living rooms and offices or similar rooms without suspended ceiling): vapour barrier fk (polyethylene) with x s = 120 m.
The supporting deck structure has to meet the requirements with regard to load-bearing capacity, deflection, anchorage and drainage. Clean, dry and even roof surfaces. If Rhepanol fk is directly laid on concrete decks/screed allow the concrete/screed to set for at least 28 days. Substrates for application must be free of open cracks, rough concrete, sharp edges and stones. Joints have to be formed according to constructional requirements, as their width or movement may impede the functional efficiency of the roof sealing.
I I
In the case of lightweight concrete supporting decks with correctly calculated thermal insulation, you may leave out a vapour control layer, if the room temperature stays below 20 C and the relative air humidity inside the room will not exceed 65 %. The vapour barrier fk can be laid with different overlap: either 10 cm if sealing the seams with connection or seam tape, or 20 cm loose overlap (without seam connection in the area). Preconditions: seamless solid deck and dimensionally stable insulation material, larger than 40, e.g. polystyrene, standard room air conditions.
31
Thermal insulation layer, Rhepanol fk, loosely laid, ballast
For rooms with high air condition loads (e.g. swimming pools, air-conditioned rooms): aluminium compound foils, vapour control membrane with metal tape reinforcement, e.g. AL + V 60 S 4. National standards and regulations must be observed.
Ballast Immediately apply ballast on loosely laid roofing membranes to secure its position against wind uplift. Suitable materials are:
I
Thermal insulation layer You must bear in mind tread-fastness when designing the thermal insulation layer on steel profile supporting decks. Quality assured rigid polystyrene foam boards with rebated edge and a length of max. 1.25 m are especially suitable materials for thermal insulation layers. With roof areas for walking on, insulation materials with higher compression strength, e.g. rigid polystyrene foam, must be used in accordance with the expected loads. Insulation materials that are not dimensionally stable and which buckle or bulge must not be installed. The insulation elements must be laid with pressed joints in bond. National standards and regulations must be observed. Rhepanol fk, loosely laid Rhepanol fk roofing membrane is loosely laid with a seam overlap of 5 cm. The membrane seams are quickly sealed with the prefabricated self-sealing edge almost independent from weather conditions. At all flashings and cappings, built-in details etc. you will need linear perimeter fixing with at least 4 fastening elements/m.
I
bulk gravel layers, min. 5 cm thick, washed natural uncrushed stones, fraction 16/32. paving slabs in a fine gravel bed on a protection layer.
If appropriate gravel is not available or the gravel is applied pneumatically, then, as under paving slabs, you will need an additional protection layer (e.g. synthetic fleece or protection sheet TS fk). Under screed you will have to apply the protection sheet TS fk. PE layers and coarse rubber protective sheets must have an underlying synthetic fleece layer. Examples for ballast Height of eaves above ground 08m Inner area Perimeter area Corner area
min. 5 cm bulk gravel min. 5 cm bulk gravel
over 8 20 m
For ballast, the provisions of national wind load standards must be observed. At building heights over 20 m and for roofs with high wind exposure (e.g. tower-style, detached buildings, airplane hangars and buildings near the coast) it is necessary to define appropriate object-related measures for membrane position stability.
32
Flashings and cappings, roof refurbishment, layer build-ups
Flashings and cappings All flashings and cappings are carried out with Rhepanol fk flashing strips. With flashing heights of over 20 cm, full-size adhesive bonding of the covering at the upstand is necessary. Valley areas are left unbonded at a width of 20 cm to allow movement compensation. The upper edge of the Rhepanol fk roofing membrane is pressed to the substrate with rigid wall connection profiles such as Classic and additionally secured with sealant A or S. The two-part FDT roof edge trims ensure flexible, yet windproof capping of the roof perimeter. The forming of flashings and cappings is identical for all application methods. You will find details on this topic in the drawings Technical details. Additional requirements for roof refurbishment:
I
Examples of layer build-ups Ventilated roof (cold roof)
Timber board cladding/derived timber products Rhepanol fk Bulk gravel, fraction 16/32
Thoroughly sweep the roof area. Remove any blisters, projections and coarse roughness. On rough substrates (such as pressed gravel), a protection layer is necessary. We recommend polystyrene insulation boards, which provide additional insulation at the same time. Temporary storage of gravel must not exceed the maximum load of the supporting deck. Soiled gravel must be cleaned (e.g. by sieving). Otherwise, appropriate protection layers such as synthetic fleece 300 g/m2 must be applied.

Safety and functional efficiency, supporting structure, vapour control layer
Safety and functional efficiency Bonding Rhepanol fk in stripes ensures maximum possible mobility of the roofing membrane. The integrated, highly tear-resistant synthetic fleece of Rhepanol fk allows diffusion, thus ensuring reliable vapour pressure compensation and secure bonding to the substrate. Rhepanol fk is compatible with bitumen and can be bonded without additional separation layers, directly to old bituminous sheets. The integrated synthetic fleece protects the membrane against stresses originating from the substrate. Application instructions
I The
necessity for pre-coating to provide reliable adhesion and dust bonding depends on the substrate conditions. Lightweight concrete panels must always be pre-coated, except when using Rhepanol adhesive 90.
It is not necessary to pre-coat coated profiled steel deckings, except when welding on bituminous sheets (only as bonding agent). National standards and regulations must be observed.
Vapour control layer Supporting construction

I
The supporting deck structure has to meet the technical requirements, especially for loadbearing capacity, deflection, anchorage and drainage. Substrates for application must be free of open cracks, rough concrete and sharp projections. Joints have to be formed according to constructional requirements, as their width or movement may impede the functional efficiency of the roof sealing.
As vapour control layers, in the case of nonventilated roofs, we recommend:

I
For non air-conditioned rooms (e.g. living rooms and offices or similar rooms without suspended ceiling): Vapour control membrane. In the case of lightweight concrete supporting decks with correctly calculated thermal insulation, you may leave out a vapour control layer, if the room temperature stays below 20 C und the relative air humidity inside the room will not exceed 65 %. For rooms with high air condition loads (e.g. swimming pools, air-conditioned rooms): Vapour control membrane with metal tape, glass fleece or woven glass cloth reinforcement.
I I
An intrusion of air underneath the roof covering at the roof perimeter and at roof penetrations must be prevented. Therefore these areas have to be made windtight. Clean, dry and even roof surfaces. If Rhepanol fk is directly laid on concrete decks/screed allow the concrete/screed to set for at least 28 days.

As a lining, use bituminous sheets without PE backing. Generally insulation boards must be laid brickbond pattern. Insulation materials that are not dimensionally stable and which buckle or bulge, or insulation elements with insufficient lining stability must not be installed. Bonding of the thermal insulation layer is preferably done with adhesive U, a one-component polyurethane adhesive. For roof slopes exceeding 7, additional supporting measures are necessary to prevent the materials slipping off while the adhesive is curing. For further information on the adhesive and its application see data sheet adhesive U.

1) If the base is of mineral fibre insulation materials the adhesive/adhesive consumption is to be defined depending on the object. 2) Not for tower-style detached buildings. Not for exposed positions.
Adhesive consumption depends on the place and height of the building and on the bonding substrate. With building heights over 20 m and in the case of roofs with high wind exposure (e.g. tower-style, detached buildings, airplane hangars and buildings near the coast), it is necessary to define the amount of adhesive needed or appropriate object-related measures for membrane position stability. For roof slopes exceeding 15, additional mechanical fastening may be necessary to prevent the roofing membrane slipping off while the adhesive is curing. At slopes exceeding 20, application should be agreed with our experts. For information on the adhesive, its application and processing see data sheet Rhepanol-Adhesive 90 (page 63).

Linear perimeter fixing, flashings and cappings, roof refurbishment
Linear perimeter fixing A linear perimeter fixing at flashings and cappings is necessary with supporting decks made of galvanized profiled steel.
I
Flashings and cappings All flashings and cappings are carried out with Rhepanol fk flashing strips. With flashing heights of over 20 cm, full-size adhesive bonding of the covering at the upstand is necessary. Valley areas are left unbonded at a width of 20 cm to allow movement compensation. The upper edge of the Rhepanol fk roofing membrane is pressed to the substrate with rigid wall connection profiles such as Classic and additionally secured with sealant A or S. The two-part FDT roof edge trims ensure flexible, yet windproof capping of the roof perimeter. Forming of flashings and cappings is identical for all application methods. For drawing example see Technical details.
In general, with bonded roof build-ups with mineral fibre insulation materials, independent from the supporting deck.
The perimeter fixing of the roof build-up, including the roofing membrane, is achieved in each instance with at least 4 fixings/m in line.
Additional requirements for roof refurbishment:

I
Before overlaying with Rhepanol fk the adhesion between the old roofing layers, as well as to the supporting deck must be completely secure. Otherwise mechanical fastening will be necessary. old roofs bonded with cold bituminous adhesive a mechanical fastening of the old roof is obligatory due to the plastic dimensional dynamics of the cold bituminous adhesive. The substrate must be suitable for bonding, free from chippings and thoroughly cleaned.

I
The curing time of the adhesive depends on the temperature as well as on the ambient humidity and the air humidity. Normally a sufficient initial hardness is reached within 1 to 3 hours. A slight moistening reduces the curing time. I In case of bonding vapour-proof materials, the curing time may be extended. However, even in very unfavourable conditions, the adhesive will be completely hardened within several days. I With high summer temperatures (approx. 25 C and above) and low air humidity, it is recommended slightly moistening the substrate after applying the adhesive to ensure a sufficient degree of moisture for foaming.
