Planning for fire safety is a necessary step in tunnel construction. Drainage boards and membranes used in tunnels are often made of polyethylene, a material that is prone to fire and smoke. A flame retardant will prevent dangerous fires and smoke from accumulating and spreading in a tunnel.
DELTA®-MS B1
The Problem
The Solution
DELTA®-MS B1 is a dimpled membrane specifically designed for tunnel ceiling and wall application. It meets the stringent requirements of the DIN 4102 B-1 non-combustible standard, and is therefore ideally suited to drainage applications in tunnel construction projects with specific fire hazard regulations.
Product Details
Product Benefits
- Dimpled membrane
- Composed of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and flame retardants
- Acts as an effective drainage layer for seepage water emerging from the rock substrate
- A dimple pattern membrane creates an air gap at the foundation wall that allows any water getting past the dimpled plastic sheet to fall freely to the footer drain
- Impermeable to water and water vapor
- Impervious to acids and other agents
- Tough, resilient and durable – has an expected service life of more than 50 years
