Dr. Fixit Torchshield AG 3050 is a high-performance, torch-applied, modified bitumen waterproofing membrane. It is designed for use in a variety of roofing and waterproofing applications, providing excellent resistance to weathering and long-term durability.

Uses and Applications:

1. Roof Waterproofing:

   • Suitable for both new and existing flat and sloped roofs.
   • Ideal for use on residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

2. Terrace Waterproofing:

   • Provides effective waterproofing for terraces, balconies, and podiums.

3. Basement Waterproofing:

   • Can be used for external waterproofing of basements and other below-ground structures.

4. Foundation Waterproofing:

   • Ensures long-term protection of foundations from water ingress.

5. Tunnel and Bridge Deck Waterproofing:

   • Suitable for waterproofing tunnels, bridge decks, and other infrastructure projects.

6. Wet Area Waterproofing:

   • Can be used in wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and water tanks to prevent leakage and seepage.

Application Procedure:

1. Surface Preparation:

   • Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, oil, and loose particles.
   • Repair any cracks, holes, or damaged areas with appropriate repair materials.
   • Prime the surface with a suitable primer to improve adhesion.

2. Membrane Application:

   • Unroll the membrane and align it on the substrate.
   • Use a propane gas torch to heat the underside of the membrane until the bitumen begins to melt.
   • Press the heated membrane firmly onto the substrate to achieve a strong bond.
   • Overlap adjacent sheets by at least 100 mm (4 inches) on the sides and 150 mm (6 inches) at the ends.
   • Use the torch to heat and seal the overlaps, ensuring a watertight joint.

3. Finishing:

   • Ensure that all edges, corners, and penetrations are properly sealed.
   • Inspect the membrane for any defects or unbonded areas and repair as necessary.

4. Protection and Curing:

   • Allow the membrane to cool and fully bond to the substrate.
   • Protect the applied membrane from damage during subsequent construction activities.

BENEFITS

• Self-finished membrane provides joint less monolithic surface & provides an excellent watertight solution. 
• High tensile strength, tear & puncture resistance properties make it highly flexible & durable.
• It is an impermeable membrane with less water absorption proper ties, hence protects the structure from weathering.

COVERAGE

• Range of 2, 3 & 4 mm membranes in Polyester or fibre glass base in 1 mtr x 10 mtr roll sizes.
