Torch Flex Base

Product Discription

Torch Flex Base is a high strength, polyester reinforced, rubber modified roofing membrane designed to be used in torching applications. The 4mm membrane offers not only high strength, but also a high percentage of quality blended Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) rubber compound. Torch Flex Base incorporates a burn-off backer to indicate when proper heat is obtained during application.

Features & Benefits

• Compound

- The waterproofing compound of Torch Flex Base membranes is made up of a mix of empty residue distilled bitumen modified with SBS thermoplastic rubber based on radial elastomers, synthetic rubber and stabilizing aggregate fillers. The compound is thermally stable, very elastic and very flexible at low temperatures.

• Reinforcement

- The reinforcement used for Torch Flex Base membranes is made up of a non-woven polyester mat stabilized with glass fibres, which gives to the product adequate mechanical and breaking elongation characteristics, as well as very good dimensional stability. Such characteristics allow to use these membranes also on mechanically and thermally stressed surfaces.

• Outside Finishing

- The Torch Flex Base membrane is treated on the upper side with non-stick filler; other finishings such as polymeric film and nonwoven may also be used. The lower side is finished with PE torch-on film; other finishings such as aggregate, polymeric films, nonwoven non-stick polymers may also be used.

Uses

The Torch Flex Base membranes are planned to be used as under and middle layer, under heavy protection, against humidity from soil.
