The 4000 is a more heavy duty system and also requires a primer.

TBH your post is difficult to answer without knowing the context in which the product has been specified.

many thanks for that i had read the tech spec but it makes as much sense a chocolate tea pot.
we are building a workshop which is partly sunken. i.e. one wall is below ground level and will butting up to a brick filled gabion basket retaining wall i have attached a picture of where it will be going as well as a copy of the drawing this may make more sense below

Why do you have gabion retaining wall when your detail shows a mass blockwork one?

The block work shown on the plans is to be built in front of the Gabions the reason for this is the gab ions are supporting over 2000 tonnes of soil behind them. As per the Plan we will build a 3 course thick wall. The first will be block work which have the membrane attached to it. We will then build a double skinned wall for the the work shop and back fill between the Gabon and the first wall with gravel for drainage. Hope this is clear Jon.
That looks a very interesting project! I'm a bit of a gabion fan too..
As for the bituthene, seeing as how it's protected on both sides by blockwork, surely it can't get damaged and will be certainly "fit for purpose" IMO

Yes if sandwiched between masonry and manufacturers instructions are followed then it'll be fine.
