BETAGUM P – BETAGUM P MINERAL -15°C

THE PRODUCT
BETAGUM P is an elastomeric type membrane, obtained from distilled bitumen
modified with elastomeric (SBS). 
BETAGUM P is reinforced with a “non woven” polyester composite fabric, stabilized
with a fiberglass mat. Mineral versions differ only by having a surface finish of slate
chips.
USES 
BETAGUM P waterproofing membrane and cap sheet for use in applications on various roof types, whether they are
insulated or not, especially those subjected to high levels of stress such as tensile structures or metal profile decks.
Ideal also for use in cold climate 
BETAGUM P MINERAL waterproofing membrane and finish/top sheet for use in multi-layer applications on various
roof types, whether they are insulated or not especially those which are subject to high levels of stress such as tensile
structures or metal profile decks, and for use in cold climates.
FINISHES
Upper surface
BETAGUM P membrane is available with sand, to ensure that the rolls unwind correctly. BETAGUM P MINERAL
membranes are covered by natural grey slate chips. A 8 cm wide strip is left free mineral chips to form overlap joint.
This area, as in underside of the membrane, is protected by the application of polyethylene torch off heat sensitive
film.
Lower surface
BETAGUM P has a polyethylene heat sensitive torch off film which prevents the rolls sticking together, allowing the
gases to escape, besides giving a nice looking finish to the rolls.
PACKAGING
The rolls are generally 1 m wide and 10 m long. The upper tape indicates the product brand name and the lower tape
the weight or thickness of the product. The rolls are supplied on wooden pallets and are held in place by a protective
heat shrunk polythene covering. Each pallet has two Quality Control Tickets which enable an easy identification of
the product and the retrieval of its technical characteristics when needed.
TOOL REQUIREMENTS 
For the correct installation of BETAGUM P type membranes, all that is required is a propane gas roofing torch with a
gas bottle, reduction valve and at least 10 m of approved type hose, a round nosed trowel or spatula, a utility knife,
and a pair of gloves.
INSTALLATION
The surface where the membrane has to be installed must be smooth , clean , dry and treated, if required, with primer
coating (for example if the material has to be fully bonded) , to enhance the adhesion of the membrane to the
substrate . The membrane rolls will be unrolled and laid out on the dry primer coating, then aligned before being
rolled up again. The membrane is then slowly unrolled while the lower surface is heated using the propane gas
roofing torch until the polyethylene torch off heat sensitive film melts and the bituminous compound starts melting .
Side laps must be at least 80 mm and head laps 150 mm. After performing the overlap, the joint (while still hot) must
be pressed, using a round nosed trowel, to ensure its good seal, and to level the molten bituminous compound that
seeps from a correctly executed joint. The hot surface of the membrane should not be scraped using the trowel to
avoid the exposure of the reinforcement.
