VOC & Hydrocarbon Membranes
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and Hydrocarbons are dangerous to human health and can have long-term health effects. JUTA UK have embarked on extensive testing to arrive at best in class gas protection membranes, which fully conforms to the latest standards.
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and hydrocarbons are carbon-containing substances that evaporate into gases upon release into the air. If VOCs combine with nitrogen oxides and sunlight, they’ll form ground-level ozone, which can cause respiratory problems such as asthma and decreased lung function.
Why Do You Need to Install VOCs and Hydrocarbon Membranes?
VOCs and hydrocarbons are dangerous to human health and can have long-term health effects such as damage to the liver, kidneys and central nervous system.
VOCs and hydrocarbons are colourless but sharp smelling gases that are found in various products like cleaners and hairspray, as well as fuel burning processes like smoking and wood burning.
What Are VOCs & Hydrocarbon Membranes?
VOCs and hydrocarbon membranes are a chemically resistant barrier that repels a wide range of pollutants. High-quality membranes are puncture proof and provide additional damp proofing protection.
After extensive testing, we’ve arrived at the best in class VOCs & hydrocarbon membranes, which all conform to the latest standards.
We developed our VOC membranes and hydrocarbon membranes in response to a change in government guidance regarding ground gases and an increasing awareness of the detrimental effects to human health from hazardous chemicals residing in the ground below developments.
For developers of Brownfield and contaminated sites, the GP® TITANTECH family of products – TITANFLEX, TITANTANK and TITANBOND – represent a major step forward in safeguarding projects against gaseous and chemical contamination. The GP® TITANTECH range has quickly established itself in the market.
