Sikaplan®-1652 Bonded VOC Gas Barrier

A pre-applied, multi-layer, polyethylene membrane for below ground waterproofing and gas protection

Sikaplan®-1652 Bonded VOC Gas Barrier is a pre-applied fully bonded waterproofing membrane incorporating Sikaplan®-1651 Loose VOC Gas Barrier membrane and a heavy duty virgin polypropylene geotextile.  The geotextile is laminated to the membrane to provide a dual function; protecting the membrane from damage and providing an integrated 'bond' to poured concrete, ensuring a fully bonded waterproofing barrier which has exceptionally high resistance to ground gas and VOCs.  Sikaplan®-1652 Bonded VOC Gas Barrier is used for the Gas/Waterproofing/Tanking of underground structures where harmful ground gases are anticipated.

  • Quick and easy installation
  • A fully welded system
  • High resistance to ground gases
  • Exceptional chemical resistance
  • Manufactured to meet the most up-to-date British Standards and guidance
  • Long-term durability (performance guaranteed for the lifetime of the building)
