What is modified bitumen:

Bitumen is a form of waterproofing and road building material that has been utilised in some form since ancient times. We have developed bituminous solutions for over 20 years-designed to protect flat and pitched roofs, domed structures, terraces and court yards from rainfall.

By adding other materials to the bitumen, manufacturers can create a longer-lasting, more durable product-giving it either plastic or rubber properties. Modifiying bitumen gives it the ability to withstand a wide temperature range, and superior weather proofing.

SBS-modified bitumen consists of bitumen with a synthetic rubber modification, adding styrene-butadiene-styrene(SBS).This does not melt in the same way as APP, instead offering a sticky melt which increases the hotter it gets. This lack of liquid flow means it takes less heat to install and allows a faster installation compared to APP. SBS systems can also be installed with cold adhesive on projects where open flames are not permitted.

Because of the rubber used in its construction, SBS-bitumen is more flexible when compared to the plastic used in APP. This flexibility means it has recovery properties, making it capable of withstanding stresses created by wind, temperature fluctuation and expansion and contraction. As well as faster installation times, SBS bitumen is not affected by oxidisation or aging.

Where to use SBS waterproofing membrane:

Bitumen, also known as asphalt, is a sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. Thanks to its waterproofing qualities, it is widely used in construction. Bituminous membranes are perfect for waterproofing roofs, basements, below-ground structures, bridges and other structures.

Benefits of SBS membrane:

1.Superior protection

2.Excellent tensile strength and dimensional stability

3.Lower maintenance

4.Exceptional granule retention

5.Extended warranty covreage

6.Cold temperature flexibility

SBS waterproofing membrane storage and consideration:

When storing and transporting, products of different specifications should be stacked seperately.

Avoid sun and rain, pay attention to ventilation. the storage temperature should not be higher than 45degree celsius, the height of the coil should not exceed 3 layers, and the vertical storage should be stacked in a single layer. The piercing and cutting operations should not be done after application.
