5 Cross laminated - providesdimensional stability, high tearstrength, puncture and impactresistance. Single layer - simple, reliable, lowlabour cost with benefit of siteprogrammed installation. Cold applied - no heating, self-adhesive overlaps ensure continuity. Chemically resistant - provideseffective external protection againstaggressive soils and ground water. Flexible - accommodates minorsettlement and shrinkage movement. Controlled thickness - factory-madesheet ensures constant, non-variablesite application. Tanking security - combined flexiblemembrane and waterstop system 3000 is an advanced, coldapplied, flexible preformed waterproofmembrane combining a special highperformance cross laminated, HDPE carrier film with a self-adhesive rubberbitumen compound. The advancedcarrier film is manufactured by crosslaminating and chemically bonding thelayers together, to produce a film withgreatly improved physical characteristicscompared with traditional low densitypolyethylene films.
