Types of Bitumen Membranes and Applications for Waterproofing Different types of Bitumen membranes play the main role in any waterproofing insulation system, by creating a barrier to prevent water and moisture ingress into your building’s structure. And To ensure you get the most out of your waterproofing system, you need to know which membrane will work best with your current setup. Through this article, you will learn about different types of Bitumen Membranes from Insutech and its Application.   But First, What are Bitumen Membranes? Bitumen is a sticky semi-solid or solid form of petroleum. It has excellent waterproofing characteristics, widely used for roof insulation, basements, bridges, below-ground structures waterproofing, and more….  Waterproofing Bitumen Membranes are designed with specific properties and raw materials that make them suitable for particular environments and usages.    Types of Waterproofing Membranes :   1- Atactic Polypropylene Bitumen Membranes (APP):   APP (Atactic Polypropylene) is a waterproofing membrane, developed from modified bitumen in addition to polymers. The membranes either have fiberglass, polyester, or composite as reinforcement. This prevents the penetration of water into structures thereby eliminating leakages and moisture insulation.    It is manufactured in a high-tech calendaring process, which involves the saturation and coating of a polyester carrier with an APP polymer-modified bitumen compound. The polymer additives are used to improve the thermal, chemical, and aging properties of the bitumen compound. Meanwhile, mechanical characteristics such as tensile strength, elongation, and tear resistance are boosted by the non-woven polyester carrier, which acts as a reinforcement to the product.   APP Modified Bitumen membranes are used for a wide variety of waterproofing requirements and in applications subject to high mechanical stresses, such as: – Roof Waterproofing Insulation – Sloped & flat roofs Insulation – High Te
