G-TEX TUTOR

Product catalog summary
Overview
G-TEX TUTOR is a versatile geomembrane used for waterproofing, sound absorption, and vapor diffusion control. It is suitable for various substrates and can be applied before installing materials like ceramic tiles, natural stone, and wood. The product complies with European Standard EN 13596 for waterproofing membranes.
Description
The geomembrane features a multilayer polymeric structure with nonwoven fabric for enhanced bonding and tensile strength, a flexible polyolefin layer for elasticity, and a polyester fiber mix for sound insulation. It is resistant to mechanical stress, temperature changes, and chemical exposure.
Fields of Application
G-TEX TUTOR is part of the GEODRY system, providing durable waterproofing and sound insulation for new constructions or renovations on surfaces like terraces and roofs.
Substrates
Suitable substrates include cement screeds, concrete, plaster, metal, and various flooring materials. Substrates must meet standards for curing, integrity, and moisture content.
Substrate Preparation
Substrates should be clean, dry, and free of contaminants. Specific treatments are recommended for different substrate types to ensure proper bonding.
Application Procedure
1. Position and seal drains and vents.
2. Mix and apply AQUABOND EXTRAFLEX adhesive.
3. Treat joints with G-TEX INFINITY strips.
4. Cut and lay G-TEX TUTOR sheets.
5. Apply adhesive and press geomembrane to remove air bubbles.
6. Seal joints with AQUAFIX POLYS adhesive.
7. Use G-TEX STRIP for floor-wall connections.
8. Lay ceramic covering with AQUABOND EXTRAFLEX adhesive.
Recommendations
Ensure substrates are cured and moisture-free. Store the product in a sheltered position and protect it from UV exposure.
Packaging
Available in rolls of 30 m² (20 m long x 1.50 m wide).
Technical Data
Operating temperature ranges from -40 °C to +80 °C. The product meets various performance standards, including water tightness, tensile strength, and impact resistance.
Specifications
The G-TEX TUTOR geomembrane is a multifunctional material with waterproof, sound-absorbing, and vapor diffusion control properties. It meets Standard EN 13956 and must be free of visible defects as per Standard EN 1850-2. The substrate must be clean, solid, dry, and properly sloped for drainage.
Procedures
The geomembrane is bonded using a mineral Gel-Sol-Gel adhesive, classified as C2TE S1 according to Standard EN 12004, such as AQUABOND EXTRAFLEX. Overlapping joints are sealed with elastic waterproof tape, G-TEX STRIP H 12, using a moisture-curing adhesive like AQUAFIX POLYS. After waterproofing, the surface should be covered with ceramic or protected with a specific waterproofing gel if no covering is applied.
Chemical Resistance
The document includes a table detailing the chemical resistance of synthetic membranes to various substances, specifying concentration limits for resistance to inorganic acids, organic acids, inorganic bases, and salt solutions.
Noise Reduction
The geomembrane provides noise reduction capabilities, with ceramic floors reducing noise by 13 dB and wood floors by 17 dB, according to EN ISO 717-2.
Recommendations
Users are advised to assess the product's suitability for their application and perform preliminary tests. For further details or special uses, contact the GEODRY Technical Department.

G-TEX TUTOR-1

GEOMEMBRANE IN FPO, MULTI-FUNCTION, WATERPROOF, SOUND-ABSORBING, WITH VAPOUR DIFFUSION CONTROL, ANTI-FRACTURE, DECOUPLING, CRACK-BRIDGING ABILITY AND DIMENSIONAL STABILITY BETWEEN -40 °C AND +80 °C FOR WATERPROOF BARRIERS ON SUBSTRATES OF ANY TYPE AND SIZE BEFORE LAYING CERAMIC, PORCELAIN STONEWARE TILES, NATURAL STONE, RECONSTRUCTED STONE, WOOD, RESILIENT, PROTECTIVE AND DECORATIVE MATERIALS. Technical Data Sheet – Rev. 10/2018 DESCRIPTION G-TEX TUTOR is a multilayer polymeric geomembrane with exclusive technology consisting of:  NWF: Nonwoven Fabric (alkali resistant polyester fibres) which guarantees high bonding with specific GEODRY adhesives and high tensile strength;  FPO: Flexyble PolyOlefin + EVA (Etilene Vinil Acetato), double layer with permanent elasticity and variable shape compensating and absorbing the dimensional variations of the substrates;  Polyester fibre mix subjected to a specific co-extrusion treatment that gives the product the ability to dampen the effects of sound waves for effective acoustic insulation of inter-subflooring. G-TEX TUTOR is waterproof with high vapour diffusion control on the substrate, anti-fracture, separating, elastic, flexible, with high crack-bridging capacity and high resistance to mechanical stress, variations in temperature, bacterial aggression, proliferation of mould and moss, resistant to hydrocarbons and alkalis, and anti-root. G-TEX TUTOR has been designed to meet the main construction needs:  waterproofing on any size sub-base;  control of substrate vapour diffusion;  compensation for the thermal and physical-mechanical stresses to which it is subjected, without altering its characteristics;  counteracting of the propagation of surface cracks in the substrate by limiting them without deteriorating;  guaranteed substrate waterproofing continuity, decoupling the various layers, preventing the transmission of motion and vibrations to the upper layers;  allowing, thanks to its multilayer structure, the implementation of sound-absorbing systems with reduced walking noise up to 17 dB, without the need to provide self-supporting intermediate screeds. Compliant with European Standard EN 13596 (“Flexible membranes for waterproofing - Membranes of plastic and rubber material for waterproofing roofing”). FIELDS OF APPLICATION G-TEX TUTOR, used in the GEODRY system, allows for the implementation of guaranteed high durability waterproofing systems, decoupling between the various layers and low thickness sound insulation. Designed to guarantee long lasting powered by CO

water tightness and decoupling between the various layers, G-TEX TUTOR is used for new construction or for restoring deteriorated waterproofing, including overlapping existing floors, on cracked surfaces or on surfaces with excessive residual moisture. With a thickness of just 2.00 mm, G-TEX TUTOR can be used on terraces, large roofs, and horizontal and vertical surfaces, both inside and outside. Its multilayer structure, which guarantees high bonding with specific GEODRY adhesives, makes it especially suitable as a substrate for laying a wide range of materials such as ceramic, porcelain stoneware,...
