APP Modified Bitumen Membrane

Overview

APP Modified Bitumen Membranes are high-performance torch-on waterproofing plastomeric multi-purpose membranes designed for durability in cold climates. These versatile membranes, known as Atactic Polypropylene Membranes, are manufactured from bitumen and come in rolls measuring 10 meters by 1 meter, covering an area of 8.7 m². When properly applied, APP membranes prove to be efficient and long-lasting waterproofing materials used in various construction applications.

Applications

1. Concrete Flat Roofs: APP membranes are commonly used on concrete flat roofs and roofs with low pitches. They provide reliable waterproofing for these surfaces.
2. Concrete Gutters: These membranes are suitable for waterproofing concrete gutters, ensuring they remain leak-free.
3. Basements: APP membranes are used to waterproof basements, preventing moisture ingress.
4. Retaining Walls: They are also employed on retaining walls to keep them dry and free from water damage.

FAQ

Q: What is an APP modified bituminous membrane?

A: An APP modified bituminous membrane is a multi-layer waterproofing membrane made of APP modified bitumen.

Q: How are APP membranes applied?

A: APP membranes are applied using a torch-on application method. Flame contact melts the surface of the membrane, which is then pressed onto the substrate with overlaps from adjoining membranes.
