Abstract
This paper sets out to evaluate a specifc type of single-ply PVC and its unique properties. Developed in 1959 by a West German chemical company for a West German bitumen felt producer, which required the following properties for a PVC membrane: bitumen resistant; stable against UV radiation; homogenically weldable; high tensile strength; high elasticity; resistance to oils and other chemicals; permeable to water-vapor; low shrinkage tendancy; roof resistance. The product is now successfully used in many countries throughout the world. In varying climatic conditions, both in waterproofing of roofs, new and old, and major Civil Engineering structures.
