Torch Flex Vapour Barrier

Product Discription

Torch Flex Vapour Barrier is a nominal 3mm thick Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) metal lined membrane specially formulated to accept the high heat from torch.

Torch Flex Vapour Barrier has a burnable polypropylene backer that melts when the proper torching temperature has been reached. The Torch Flex Vapour Barrier eliminates the use of a kettle and also allows the torch-applied system to accept only one ply underlayment.

Features & Benefits

• High Tech Base Sheet

- The Torch Flex Vapour Barrier has a high percentage of SBS rubber which when fused together with the torch applied membrane gives the system superior puncture and abrasion resistance. It also has high tensile and elongation characteristics.

• Eliminates the Use of the 2 Ply Underlayment

- Because the Torch Flex Vapour Barrier is 3.0 mm thick, one ply will be sufficient as the underlayment for torch applied membrane.

• Superior Strength

- The HPR Torch Base membrane is reinforced with a dual fibreglass scrim. The superior strength provided by this reinforcement resists the movement created by todays modern buildings.

• Advanced Rubber Technology

- The modifier utilised in Torch Flex Vapour Barrier is SBS. When the SBS rubber is properly dispersed throughout the high penetration asphalt, the rubber provides increased thermal shock resistance, UV protection, heat resistance, elongation, and low temperature flexibility. To ensure proper dispersion, a special high shear mixer is used in manufacturing.

Uses

Torch Flex Vapour Barrier is used as the underlayment ply for any of Garlands torch-applied membranes. It is fully compatible with both APP or SBS modified membranes. However, DO NOT USE the Torch Flex Vapour Barrier with hot asphalt or cold adhesives.
