What is this? Bicrot XPP: characteristics, weight of a roll

If you decided to use a bicrot, if you want to work, what it is, you should know. Bikrost KHPP is a roll roofing material based on bitumen, designed to conduct waterproofing works, it has a reinforcement base in the form of glass fiber, and bituminous binder, which is applied from both sides. This binder contains special technological additives, which are designed to improve the performance of materials, as well as extend their life. On all sides, the bicrot XPP has a protective coating, which is a fusion film based on polymers.

If you are interested in the CBR's bicrot, what it is, you must know before buying. Use this material in all climatic zones. It is produced in the walls of the plant of the corporation "Technonikol".

Material Features

At the heart of the bicrot is the fiberglass, which is a non-rotting material. Among other things, fiberglass is not torn and has little value if compared with other analogs. Bikrost HPP is of high quality, and it is based on a large amount of bitumen, as well as an increased volume of binder, which is located on the fusible side. Increasingly, home-based masters are wondering about what is used for the bicrotting of the HBP, what it is, it is also important to find out. The special manufacturing technology and the composition of the material provide it with excellent performance characteristics, which makes it possible to use this waterproofing even in difficult climatic conditions. "Technonikol" uses the most technologically advanced equipment, as well as the latest trends, in manufacturing the microprocessor, which makes it possible to obtain excellent material that has an excellent price-performance ratio if compared with competitors.

Life of the material

Bikrost KHPP can serve 10 years, this period is guaranteed by the manufacturer, during this time you do not have to replace the waterproofing of the roof.

Features of use

Before you buy a bicrot pack, what it is, you need to know. It is used in the role of the lower layer of the fusion roof, the system is equipped with a vapor barrier, which is laid in two layers, among other things, the vapor barrier can be laid in one layer. Bikrost is used as the bottom layer, while the top layer is Bipol EKP.

Technical characteristics of the material

Steam insulation bikrost HPP has excellent quality characteristics. The temperature at which the astringent component becomes fragile is at -15 degrees. Flexibility on a bar with a radius of 25 millimeters is achieved at a mark of 0 degrees. Heat resistance of the material is able to demonstrate at elevations of up to +80 degrees. The tensile strength at stretching is 294 N. The protective coating of the material is a film that is used both from below and from above.

The bicrot XPP, the characteristics of which are described in the article, has a thickness which is equal to 2, 6 mm. The water absorption of this waterproofing material is 1 percent by weight, which is true if the material is exposed to moisture for 24 hours. Bikrost has absolute water resistance. Before buying it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the parameters of the roll, so, the width and length are equal to 1 and 15 meters, respectively. The useful area of the roll is 14 m ² . The weight of a bicrotate gearbox, or rather the weight of one roll, is 45 kilograms. Using a bicrot pack, you will need to apply mastic, an aerator, a primer, a funnel, a burner.

Stacking technology

Bikrost XPP, the weight of which you need to know before purchase, is a weldable material, which should be laid in a gas-flame way by using a propane torch. If a single layer coating of the substrate is used, the surface must first be treated with a primer, represented by a bitumen primer.

Packing and dimensions

When you buy on a pallet you will be delivered 23 rolls, which is 230 square meters, the weight of one such pallet filled with material will be 1035 kg. Rolls are delivered on pallets made of wood, the size of one roll is 1, 12 x 1, 20 meters. The material will be installed vertically and protected with a heat shrink package. To eliminate deformation during transportation and storage rolls are supplied with heart-shaped bushings made of cardboard. On each pallet of materials you will find a label with some parameters, among which: manufacturing plant, batch number, shift number, material grade, number of square meters, production date, and material name. Bikrost is made according to TU 5774-042-00288739-99 and corresponds to SNiP 23-01.

Scope of use

Bikrost is used to make the bottom layer of the roof, which should be flat. Among other things, this material is used for waterproofing works in the foundation area, used for waterproofing the floor, as well as basements. It is used for steam insulation of the garage roof, for screeding, for swimming pools, bathrooms, as well as pipe insulation.

Additional material features

The material can be used as a backing carpet, but it can not be used as a top coat for a roof, this is because the material does not have a protective top layer. It can be compared with a roofing felt. Despite the fact that the life span of the material is very small, this minus is compensated by its insignificant cost, we can say that the material belongs to the economy class products, very similar to this material on the characteristics of the HKP bicror. The only difference is that the top layer has a powder in the form of a crumb. Due to this, it can be used as a roofing material on roofs, however, the surface should not be subjected to heavy loads.
