Description: Sika® Geotextile-500, weighing 500 g/m^2, serves as a leveling and protective layer made from Polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This geotextile is engineered for high performance and durability in underground and tunnel environments.
Key Features:
- High Durability: Exceptional resistance to aging.
- Strength and Elasticity: Superior tensile strength and elongation capabilities.
- Environmental Resistance: Impervious to all naturally aggressive mediums found in groundwater and soil.
- Chemical Compatibility: Well-suited for contact with soft water, which is aggressive to concrete.
- Thermal Flexibility: Maintains high flexibility even in cold temperatures.
- Installation Versatility: Can be applied on both damp and wet substrates.
Usage: Ideal for use as a surface leveling and protective layer beneath sheet waterproofing membranes in basements, tunnels, and other subterranean structures.
Advantages:
- Consistently resistant to environmental aging factors.
- Designed to withstand considerable mechanical stresses and strain.
- Remains effective in various aggressive environmental conditions.
- Ensures high performance in low-temperature conditions.
- Simple application process even on non-dry surfaces.
