What is Cosmofin?

COSMOFIN (previously known as Delifol) is a high-polymer, soft PVC membrane system manufactured in Germany. The sheet edges are closed - without capilliaries. The membrane is 1.5 mm thick and the standard colour is light grey.

COSMOFIN membrane is manufactured by extrusion, not by the calandar method. This production method is critical to reducing short and long term shrinkage.

Attributes
• Hot Air Weldable
• Thermoplastically Deformable
• Solvent Weldable
• Safe Against Plant Roots
• Low Shrinkage
• Free of Toxins or Heavy Metals
• Can be strip bonded
• Recyclable
• Safe in Permanently Wet Areas
• Acid / Alkali Resistant
• Micro-organism Resistant
• UV Stable

Where Can It Be Laid?
• Exposed to the Australian region weather
• Ballasted
• Fully-bonded
• Loose Laid

All laying methods incorporate COSMOFIN STEEL  for positive fixation and efficient flashings.

System Components

COSMOFIN FG
The standard reinforced Cosmofin membrane, 1.5 mm thick, light grey, with the side edges sealed beyond the reinforcement. The rolls are 1.1 metres wide x 20 metres long. COSMOFIN FG is reinforced with polyester fibre - set diagonally so that the membrane retains structural elasticity.

COSMOFIN GGV : GGV is Cosmofin FG backed with polyester fleece. Can be laid over bitumen. Can be used together with Terokal 325 to give a bonded membrane to most surfaces.

COSMOFIN F
Unreinforced membrane, 1.5 mm thick. This is used for detailing and closer strips. The rolls are 1100 mm wide x 20 metres long.

THF (tetrahydrafurane)
Welding solvent

COSMOFIN LIQUID
Used to seal laps where reinforcement ends are exposed. It is supplied in 1 litre tins.

COSMOFINSTEEL PROFILES
Standard profiles (see Installation) are available from stock, used for mechanically fixed terminations and fixing at the bases of upstands. Other profiles are available to special order.

BONDING ADHESIVE
Use Terokal 325 with GGV or Terokal 914 with FG.

TEROSTAT FIXBAND :120mm wide self- adhesive tape used to seal Cosmofin to wall where render to be applied over.

TEROKAL ALUFIXBAND :120mm wide self-adhesive tape used to seal Cosmofin to the wall. Should only used in balcony or garden bed or small terrace situations. To be used in conjunction with Terokal 914 adhesive.

TEROKAL 325 :The adhesive to bond Cosmofin GGV to almost any substrate.
