Corden EPS Universal Gas Barrier

Radon, carbon dioxide and methane barrier

for NHBC Amber 1 situations

Corden EPS Universal Gas Barrier Product Specification

Physical Description Test Value/Units
CORDEN EPS Universal Gas Barrier is a monolithic Method
hybrid virgin polymer manufactured using the blown Weight 356g/m2
extrusion method. Thickness 375mu
The membrane contains no recycled material, as a Colour Varying
result it is consistent and doesn’t include any bio- Roll Size 4m x 20m
degradable content thus providing excellent results Technical Performance
for gas permeation. Tensile strength MD 21.5MPa
The membrane is also suitable for use as a damp CD 29.4MPa
proof membrane. Elongation at max load MD/CD > 800%
CORDEN EPS Universal Gas Barrier prevents the
transmission of harmful gases and due to the nature
Dart impact strength 1.012kg
of its construction; the membrane overcomes
Tear Resistance MD 248N/mm
problems associated with membranes manufactured
CD 303N/mm
from post-consumer recycled waste.
Radon permeability 4 x 10 -12 m2/s
Corden EPS Universal Gas Barrier is suitable as a CO2 Transmittance 26.53cc/m2/hr
radon, carbon dioxide and methane barrier for NHBC Methane transmittance 0.16g/m2/day
