Advantages

• Excellent adhesion—special adhesive

compound engineered to work with high

tack System 4000 Surface Conditioner

• Cold applied—simple application to

substrates, especially at low temperatures

• Reduced inventory and handling costs—

System 4000 Surface Conditioner is

included with each roll of membrane

• Wide application temperature range—

excellent bond to self and substrate from

25°F (-4°C) and above

• Overlap security—minimizes margin for

error under site conditions

• Cross laminated, high density polyethylene

carrier film—provides high tear strength,

puncture and impact resistance

Description

Bituthene

System 4000 is a

⁄16 in. (1.5 mm)

flexible, pre-formed waterproof membrane

which combines a high performance, cross

laminated, HDPE carrier film with a unique,

super tacky, self-adhesive rubberized asphalt

compound.

System 4000 Surface Conditioner is a unique,

water-based, latex surface treatment which

imparts an aggressive, high tack finish to the

treated substrate. It is specifically formulated

to bind site dust and concrete efflorescence,

thereby providing a suitable surface for the

Bituthene System 4000 Waterproofing

Membrane.

Conveniently packaged in each roll of

membrane, System 4000 Surface Conditioner

promotes good initial adhesion and, more

importantly, excellent permanent adhesion of

the Bituthene System 4000 Waterproofing

Membrane. The VOC (Volatile Organic

Compound) content of this product is 91 g/L.

Grace Above Grade Waterproofing BITUTHENE SYSTEM 4000 ® Self-adhesive HDPE waterproofing membrane with super tacky compound for use with patented, water-based System 4000 Surface Conditioner Description Bituthene® System 4000 is a 1⁄16 in. (1.5 mm) flexible, pre-formed waterproof membrane which combines a high performance, cross laminated, HDPE carrier film with a unique, super tacky, self-adhesive rubberized asphalt compound.

• Flexible—accommodates minor structural movements and will bridge shrinkage cracks • UL approval Class A Fire Rating—see approvals section inside for details • Ripcord®—this Split Release on Demand feature allows the splitting of the membrane into two (2) pieces for ease of installation in detailed areas Use Bituthene is ideal for waterproofing concrete decks where in-service temperatures will not exceed 130°F (54°C). It can be applied to split slab construction such as in plaza areas and parking decks.

System 4000 Surface Conditioner Sprayer The Bituthene System 4000 Surface Conditioner Sprayer is a professional grade, polyethylene, pump-type, compressed air sprayer with a brass fan tip nozzle. It has a 2 gal (7.6 L) capacity. The nozzle orifice and spray pattern have been specifically engineered for the optimum application of Bituthene System 4000 Surface Conditioner. Hold nozzle 18 in. (450 mm) from substrate and squeeze handle to spray. Spray in a sweeping motion until substrate is uniformly covered.
PAGE 4
Expansion Joints in Concrete Construction Bituthene membrane is not an expansion joint filler or sealant, but may be used as an expansion joint cover only in limited, special situations, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. To adequately waterproof an expansion joint requires the use of materials specifically designed to do that job. Bituthene waterproofing systems can, in most cases, be tied into expansion joint waterproofing and/or covering systems to provide full waterproofing protection on a project.

carpet to allow the membrane to fully contact the primed substrate. Seal all T-joints and membrane terminations with Bituthene Liquid Membrane at the end of the day. Protrusions and Drains Apply membrane to within 1 in. (25 mm) of the base of the protrusion. Apply Bituthene Liquid Membrane 0.1 in. (2.5 mm) thick around protrusion. Bituthene Liquid Membrane should extend over the membrane a minimum of 21⁄2 in. (65 mm) and up the penetration to just below the finished height of the wearing course.
