Modified Bitumen Membrane Production Line
Modified Bitumen Waterproofing Membrane (Bitumen Membrane) is widely used in industrial and civil buildings, such as roof, basement, toilet, bridge, park, swimming pool, tunnel for waterproof and moistureproof. Bitumen is a hydrocarbon and is created naturally from crude oil. It is a useful carbon store and does not generate greenhouse gases. The membrane is therefore a sustainable way of storing carbon on the Earth's surface.
Composition of Bitumen Membrane
Bitumen - Mixed with a filler (limestone or sand) component such as sand. Polymers are added to the bitumen such as APP (atactic polypropylene) a plastic additive that gives rigidity and tear resistance, or SBS (styrene butadiene styrene) a rubber additive that gives more elastic benefits.
Base Material (Reinforcement) - Polyester, fiberglass, etc.
These products are bought in roll format and are pulled through the bitumen mixes on huge rollers.
Advantages of Bitumen Membrane
1.As well as protecting buildings, bituminous roofing products can be in harmony with their environmental surroundings as different mineral finishes can be applied to the top surfaces.
2.The product is not flowing at high temperature and no crack at low temperature, and it has an extremely long life span.
3.The fumes given off during installation are not harmful to human health and there is low noise pollution during application.
4.Bituminous membrane protects insulation and can reflect harmful sun rays.
5.Bitumen is not water soluble, non-biodegradable, not classified as carcinogenic and does not release harmful toxins.
