.1.6 INTERPRETATION
Definitions
General: For the purposes of this worksection the definitions given in AS 4654.1 and AS 4654.2 and
the following apply:
- Bitumen: A viscous material from the distillation of crude oil comprising complex hydrocarbons,
which is soluble in carbon disulphide, softens when it is heated, is waterproof and has good powers
of adhesion. It is produced as a refined by-product of oil.
. SBS bitumen: Bitumen modified with Styrene Butadiene Styrene, a thermoplastic rubber that
undergoes a phase inversion at elevated temperature and converts to an elastomeric material.
The membrane is reinforced with fibreglass or non-woven polyester (NWP).
- Bond breakers: A system preventing a membrane bonding to the substrate, bedding or lining.
- Double detail joint: A joint formed by turning up and bonding the horizontal membrane to a vertical
substrate and adding an overflashing of membrane material bonded to the vertical substrate and
folded over and bonded to the horizontal membrane. In certain situations the double detail can be
achieved by bonding an angle profile of membrane material to the junction prior to laying the
membrane
- Elastomer: A polymer having elastic properties similar to rubber.
- Membranes: Impervious barriers to liquid water.
