THERMAL INSULATION

ACOUSTIC INSULATION

WATERPROOF

Thermobase is thermal insulation in rolls made of strips of insulating material, hot bonded to a polymer-bitumen waterproof membrane. The insulation is produced in four versions: Self-extinguishing extruded polystyrene foam Self-extinguishing sintered polystyrene foam Rock wool with oriented fibres Continuously laminated self-extinguishing polyurethane foam The waterproof membrane which covers the insulation may be: Reinforced with glass mat Reinforced with non-woven polyester fabric, stabilised with fibreglass, without shrinkage THERMOBASE TEGOLA is produced specifically for undertile insulation. In this case the four types of insulation are bonded to a polyesterreinforced waterproof membrane coated with slate chippings.

Thermobase is manufactured on a production line which has three cutting units for insulating panels. The thin strips of insulation are continuously bonded to the waterproof layer. Perfect lay-out of the strips and the thickness of the material are constantly controlled. Thermobase is suitable for insulating and waterproofing roofs of buildings. It combines waterproofing and insulation in a single product. However, it may also be successfully used for insulating wall inter-spaces and underground premises where an efficient vapour barrier is required. In this case the waterproof layer, facing the interior, acts as a vapour barrier. Thermobase solves the problems of both installers and planners: Flexible: it follows all shapes of laying surfaces. Differently shaped roofs can be accurately covered without leaving poorly adhered bridge zones. Stable: the insulation is cut into thin strips. Its thermal expansion and contraction is uniformly distributed and is less compared to the panel type. Consequently, the waterproof layer is less fatigue stressed. Quick to lay: it is in rolls, two layers can be laid in a single quick operation.

Immediately waterproof: just flame-bond the overlapping edges to obtain an immediately waterproof layer which protects the insulation from unexpected heavy showers. For panels, without edges, flame-bond the sealing strips over the element coupling lines for the same waterproofing effect. Thermobase is compatible with polymerbitumen waterproofing coatings and with multilayer bitumen coatings. The on-site bonding of subsequent layers is made easy thanks to the very thick polymerbitumen membrane with high adhesive power. Therefore, the waterproofing layer can be left visible over Thermobase. The wind wont detach it, the gravel ballasting layer is no longer necessary and light structures not designed to bear excessive loads can easily be waterproofed.

Thermobase tegola is the version designed to solve the problems of under-tile waterproofing and thermal insulation. It can be produced with all four types of insulation: oriented rock wool, polystyrene foam, extruded polystyrene and polyurethane foam. The top waterproof membrane consists of a polymer-bitumen sheet reinforced with nonwoven polyester fabric stabilised with fibreglass. The visible face of the membrane is treated with slate mineral chippings hot bonded at a temperature of 180C, with the exception of an 8 cm slate-free lateral strip - the latter allows sealing of the overlapping edge, usually included on one side of the heat insulation. If the product has no edge, two 8 cm side strips of the membrane are left slate-free to facilitate sealing the connecting strip in these cases too. The mineral coating serves as an anti-slip surface and provides solid anchorage

for cement mortar when tiles are laid directly on the insulation. Once a seamless joint is obtained with the edge or with the flame-sealed connecting strips, you immediately obtain a waterproof, resistant surface. This surface will protect the work against sudden rain and enables the tile layer to be laid very quickly.

Thermobase tegola guarantees efficient heat insulation and reliable waterproofing protection even in the case of shifted or broken tiles. For the laying systems, please consult our specific technical documentation (see technical specifications no. 7).

METHOD OF USE
In addition to the traditional bonding and mechanical securing systems used in the waterproofing sector, THERMOBASE can be flame secured on the following innovative Index membranes: PROMINENT TECTENE BV STRIP Use PROMINENT for laying heat resistant THERMOBASES such as THERMOBASE PUR and THERMOBASE FR , use TECTENE BV STRIP for THERMOBASE PSE and THERMOBASE PSE/EX. Flame bonding on the special Index membranes enables easier laying even on pitched roofs, with considerable savings in transport costs and laying time. You no longer have to wait for the bitumen to melt in the boiler and theres no need to transport either oxidised bitumen or the boiler. By using a roll of the special new multi-purpose vapour barriers - PROMINENT and TECTENE BV STRIP - you simultaneously obtain both vapour tightness and bonding of the heat insulation.

THERMOBASE TEGOLA PSE

80 120
THERMOBASE TEGOLA PSE is the version self-protected with mineral slate, designed for under-tile laying.

DESCRIPTION
THERMOBASE PSE its made of self-extinguishing sintered polystyrene foam with a value for type 80 of 0.0369 W/m K, and for type 120 of 0.0362 W/m K. It is cut into 50 mm wide strips, which are hot bonded to a polymerbitumen waterproofing membrane, reinforced with glass mat or with non-woven polyester fabric stabilised with fibreglass. The upper surface is already covered with a polymer-bitumen membrane and the torch may be used without burning the insulation. When used under the visible part of the coating, THERMOBASE PSE should be mechanically fixed to the support. In the case of surfaces protected by heavy materials, the product can be bonded to an oxidised bitumen coating left to cool sufficiently. After securing the insulation on the laying surface and accurately lining up the elements, the overlapping edges should be flame bonded. For panels without an edge, the sealing strips are flame bonded onto the element coupling lines.

Subsequently the second waterproofing layer is flame bonded onto the surface astride the sealing strips. THERMOBASE PSE is resistant to compression. It is based high density polystyrene foam, type 120 can be used under terraces which will be walked on. The type 80 type should be used under visible surfaces. It absorbs very little water and, where damp is present, its dimensional variations are insignificant. THERMOBASE PSE is safe because it is made with self-extinguishing polystyrene. It is economical because it is already covered with a membrane. Polystyrene Resistance to foam can be used foot traffic on roofs, saving on insulation and laying Stability costs.

THERMOBASE TEGOLA FR
FR100
GOLA FR is the version self-protected with mineral slate, designed for under-tile laying.

DESCRIPTION
THERMOBASE FR is made of oriented rock wool
fibres. Rock wool is chemically inert, it is fire-resistant and offers complete thermal stability when subjected to sudden temperature changes. In THERMOBASE, the fibres are arranged vertically and therefore offer compression resistance 3-4 times higher than that of normal panels of the same density where the fibres are horizontal. The polymer-bitumen membrane applied on the upper face of THERMOBASE consists of an inversion phase compound containing distilled bitumen and elastoplastomeric polymers. The polymer acts as the continuous phase even if it is the minority ingredient compared to the bitumen and the bitumen acts as the dispersed phase. The membrane is reinforced with glass mat strengthened with non-woven polyester fabric stabilised with fibreglass THERMOBASE FR absorbs the roughness of the laying surface, and due to its special shape, it easily adapts to both concave and convex surfaces. THERMOBASE FR is

used under visible surfaces and should be bonded to the substrate with a coating of hot oxidised bitumen or by mechanical fixing. The latter method is preferable on timber roofs and fretted metal decks. The joints are sealed by flame bonding the overlapping edges, or in the case of panels without any edges, the sealing strips are flame bonded onto the joints of the elements. The next layer is flame bonded on THERMOBASE, unrolling the roll astride the sealing lines. THERMOBASE FR offers an effective fire barrier which will protect the roof against fire and is, therefore, suitable for roofs where the membrane Resistance to is left as a visible covfoot traffic ering, particularly on wooden roofs.

The ISOPREF PSE elements cut down laying time and enable delivery of the building works to be industrially planned. This is because most of the insulation and waterproofing work can be carried out at the manufacturers plant. This reduces on-site operations to the last stages of applying the waterproof layer.
