GEMINI PONTI is a range of extremely sturdy bituminous waterproofing membranescharacterized by extremely high thread resistance. Thanks to their outstanding mechanical properties and temperature resistance GEMINI PONTI membranes are ideally suited for installation in areas of high traffic and are certified according to stringent EN 14695:2010 regulation.
GEMINI PONTI membranes employ a distilled bitumen compound modified with selected elasto-plastomeric polymers and atactic polypropylene; The excellent quality is highlighted by two indicators: low temperature flexibility (-10° C) and flow resistance at high temperature (120° C). These parameters positively affect resistance to thermal ageing and increase the service life of the waterproofing system. Membranes with high resistance to thermal ageing and excellent flow resistance at high temperatures are applicable in any climatic zone, but are particularly suited to Countries with warm climates. Excellent cold flexibility enables easy adaptation of the membrane during installation, an important feature in areas characterized by harsh climates. This compound allows the membrane to be walked on during application.
The reinforcement used in GEMINI PONTI membranes consists of a non-woven polyester fibre and medium-weight fabric, stabilized with glass and rot-proof. The membranes, with excellent dimensional stability, ensure high performance and avoid waterproof surface shrinkage, even in case of roofing subjected to high thermal stresses. This reinforcement type has excellent mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, elongation at break and tear strength that characterize membranes with significant ability to absorb high stresses due to structural movements, to be laid with mechanical fasteners even in areas exposed to strong winds, to withstand foot traffic and static weights.
