DEFENCE Vapour Permeable Protection Membranes
Description

The Rothoblaas DEFENCE ADHESIVE range includes self-adhesive protective membranes designed for various construction applications. These membranes are engineered to provide robust protection for building elements, particularly timber, during transport and construction.

The range is designed to remain breathable, offering waterproof protection while allowing moisture to dry out. The transparent formulation leaves the underlying structure visual for inspection. The self adhesive protection layers enhance the durability and longevity of construction elements by providing effective waterproofing and protection against environmental factors.

These membranes are easy to install, repositionable, and environmentally friendly, making them a reliable choice for protecting construction materials.

  • DEFENCE ADHESIVE 200— protects without interfering with operations by allowing both the markings of the powder tracer on the panel and the mounting holes to be easily seen. 
  • DEFENCE ADHESIVE REMOVABLE — special removable glue allows for quick and easy removal of the membrane at the end of construction.
  • DEFENCE ADHESIVE SPEEDY — no release liner means less waste to dispose of.
  • DEFENCE ADHESIVE TRASPIR EVO — thanks to the patented glue, the membrane remains perfectly breathable even when fully bonded, allowing any wet elements to dry out.
Key Features
  • Self-Adhesive: Easy and quick installation with a self-adhesive surface that allows repositioning if needed.
  • Waterproof: Provides robust waterproofing to protect timber and other building elements during transport and construction.
  • Abrasion-Resistant: The membrane is resistant to abrasion and trampling, ensuring durability on-site.
  • Breathable: The DEFENCE ADHESIVE TRASPIR EVO variant features a breathable monolithic membrane that allows moisture to dry out while providing maximum water protection.
  • Flexible: Highly flexible and can seal complex surfaces, making it suitable for various applications.
  • Environmental Safety: Does not contain VOCs, making it safe for indoor use and environmentally friendly.
  • Temporary Protection: Guarantees protection for up to 12 weeks, ideal for temporary use during construction phases.
Scope of Use

These self-adhesive protective membranes are ideal for use in various construction scenarios where temporary protection is required.

Scope of Use:

  • Timber Construction Elements: The membranes are specifically designed to protect timber elements from moisture, abrasion, and environmental damage during transport and on-site construction.
  • Prefabrication: Suitable for prefabricated panels, ensuring protection during handling and assembly.
  • Complex Surfaces: Highly flexible and capable of sealing complex surfaces, making them versatile for different construction needs.

Intended Use:

  • Temporary Protection: Provides up to 12 weeks of protection, making it ideal for temporary use during various phases of construction.
  • Waterproofing: Ensures that timber and other building elements remain dry and protected from water damage.
  • Breathability: The DEFENCE ADHESIVE TRASPIR EVO variant allows moisture to escape while providing maximum water protection, ensuring the longevity of the protected elements.

Applications:

  • On-Site Construction: Protects building elements from environmental factors and physical damage during the construction process.
  • Transport: Safeguards timber and other materials during transportation to the construction site.
  • Prefabricated Panels: Enhances the durability and protection of prefabricated panels during handling and installation.
Limitations on Use

The Rothoblaas DEFENCE ADHESIVE range has some limitations and specific conditions where it should not be used:

  • Long-Term Exposure: The membranes are designed for temporary protection (up to 12 weeks). They should not be used for long-term or permanent protection.
  • High-Temperature Environments: The adhesive properties may degrade in extreme temperatures. Avoid using the membranes in environments with temperatures exceeding the recommended range.
  • Aggressive Chemicals: Prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals or solvents can degrade the material, reducing its effectiveness.
  • Incorrect Surfaces: The membranes are designed for specific surfaces, primarily timber. Using them on incompatible surfaces may result in inadequate adhesion and protection.
  • It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Other Performance Attributes
  • Non-Slip Surface: The membrane has a non-slip surface, enhancing safety during installation and handling.
  • Repositionable: If a mistake is made during installation, the membrane can be easily repositioned and reapplied within the first few minutes.
  • Visibility: Once applied, the membrane allows markings and mounting holes on the panel to remain visible, facilitating easier installation and alignment.
  • Waste Reduction: The DEFENCE ADHESIVE SPEEDY variant lacks a release liner, reducing waste and making the installation process more efficient.

Warranty & Maintenance

The Rothoblaas DEFENCE ADHESIVE range offers a warranty that ensures the product’s performance and durability. The specific terms and duration of the warranty can vary, so it’s recommended to consult the product documentation or contact Rothoblaas directly for detailed warranty information.

Maintenance Requirements:

  • Regular Inspections: Periodically check the membranes for any signs of wear or damage, especially in high-traffic areas.
  • Cleaning: Keep the membranes clean from dust and debris to maintain their effectiveness.
  • Avoid Chemical Exposure: Ensure the membranes are not exposed to aggressive chemicals or solvents that could degrade the material.
