Bituthene 5000, also known as Heavy Duty Bituthene, is a waterproofing material incorporating high strength, heat-resistant mesh embedded in a layer of self-adhesive rubberised asphalt. It is supplied in rolls interwound with special release paper which protects the adhesive surface until ready for use and allows easy handling during installation.

Biituthene 5000 is supplied in rolls 1.00m wide, 20.0m long and in min. membrane thickness of 1.6mm and 2.0mm. The rubberised asphalt is covered with release paper that is removed during installation. The membrane is self-adhesive and cold applied. No special adhesive or equipment is necessary to form laps. Bituthene 5000 is an excellent waterproofing membrane for plazas, bridges, vehicular traffic structures, or parking decks to be overlaid with an asphalt concrete wearing course. It is adaptable for either new construction or repair applications.

Bituthene 5000 strips are recommended for the restoration of concrete pavements with asphalt concrete overlays to prevent premature deterioration of asphalt paving over the transverse and longitudinal joints caused by reflection cracking and sub-base erosion.

Bituthene 5000 membrane will remain flexible to perform over the extreme range of service temperatures expected on plazas, bridges, and parking decks. Its toughness and flexibility allow it to cycle over small cracks, even during critical winter months. The membrane is highly resistant to water and deicing salt solutions. Electrical resistance measurements on structures have been exceptionally high to indicate the effectiveness of Bituthene 5000 in preventing water migration into decks.
