What is Wolfin?
The Wolfin membrane itself is a Polyester-PVC
compound with no leachable plasticiser. The overall
system (membrane, steel profiles, liquid and cast-in
details) is made in Germany.
The membrane is always used in conjunction with
the profile system and the design philosophy is
completely self-sufficient waterproofing.
In addition to the basic Wolfin - Wolfin IB -
there are other Wolfin variants that have the Wolfin
IB as a basic component.
The other membrane variants expand the system's
useability in more specialised applications. All
types have excellent UV and variable temperature
behaviour and the technical details are similar
to Wolfin IB.

Wolfin complies with AS1530.3 as to heat and
fire tests.
• Wolfin IB: 1.5 mm: Standard general purpose membrane - useful
for new and retrofit roofing and liquid containment
applications - allows most existing failed materials
to stay. Colours are light grey or black.
2 mm: The same as above, but stronger for more
onerous duty, such as girder tops on transom-top
rail bridges or heavy-duty expansion joints. Colour
- black.
• Wolfinsteel: This is 24 gge galvanised steel
with an 0.8 mm thick layer of Wolfin factory bonded
to one side. This is used for terminations (and
intermediate fixings where required, such as high
walls or long spans) and can be cut and bent to
any desired size or shape.
All such details are encapsulated, as are all
fixings and are predominantly designed to act in
shear. They are also useful for fully integrated
cappings and overflashings, and can be decorated
(painted) if desired with any good quality acrylic
coating. Standard colours are light grey or black.
• 316L Wolfinsteel: This is the same as the Wolfinsteel
above but the steel used is Low-Carbon Stainless
Steel. This variant of the Wolfinsteel is used where
there are particularly severe corrosion issues. Black only.
• Wolfin AF 6: An extruded section made of Wolfin
IB, which is cast into concrete to form an efficient
reglet termination, or intermediate strong point.
• Wolfin M (reinforced, high tensile, low elasticity) is Wolfin IB with a polyester reinforcement embedded
into the middle of the sheet - useful where very high (1600 Nmm2)
tensile behaviour is sought and elasticity is less
critical. Note, when stressed to reinforcement failure
the normal behaviour is a local breakage of the
mesh, with no break of the parent membrane - the
membrane reverts to its normal elastic state (300%+),
reducing consequential risk.
• Wolfin GWSK (reinforced, self-adhesive) is Wolfin M with a powerful, butyl-modified bitumen adhesive backing. It is the preferred membrane for horizontal works in domestic, commercial and civil construction including bridge decks and under asphalt.
• Wolfin Corners: Preformed Internal and External
corners for a tighter neater look. The Wolfin membrane
welds direct to the corners.
• Terostat-Alu-Fixband: 120 mm wide self-adhesive tape used to seal Wolfin to non-porous surfaces such as glass and steel. It is not designed to hold the body of the membrane in place, but rather to seal off the edge termination to the non-porous material.
• Terokal 914: Primer for Terostat-Alu-Fixband when applied to porous surfaces. It is also used as a primer / sealer over monomeric PVC membranes prior to the application of Terostat-Alu-Fixband |
