SBS ELASTOMERIC BITUMEN ROOF WATERPROOFING MEMBRANES

PRACTICAL ADVANTAGES
Long life due to the exceptional retention
of the original properties of the SBS elastomeric bitumen.
High fracture-resistance due to the
elasticity of the SBS elastomeric
bitumen binder.
Excellent dimensional stability due to
the glass reinforcements.
High resistance to puncturing for the
Paradiene membranes that include
non-woven polyester reinforcement.
Wide colour range for the cap sheets
Paradiene 30.1 A/G, AS/GS and
Paradiene 40.1 AS/GS.

Principal use:
Waterproofing on roofs of all slopes, on all roof decks concrete, wood and steel - complying with relevant Codes
of Practice or Avis Techniques (Agrement Certificates).
Principal systems:
Two-layer systems under heavy protection or self-finished.

Siplast S.A. certified ISO 9002

PURPOSES

TYPICAL USES

DESCRIPTION

The Paradiene membranes, based on SBS elastomeric bitumen, have different reinforcements according to their purposes and their mechanical resistances:
- VV: glass mat of 50 g/m2 or 90 g/m2.
- R3: composite reinforcement of 130 g/m2 or glass mesh/glass mat of 140 g/m2 or non-woven polyester of 120 g/m2.
- R4: non-woven polyester of 180 g/m2.
Their undersides are either film-faced or sanded. Their upper surfaces are film-faced, sanded or self-finished with
coloured mineral granules (G) or slate flakes (A).
