Polymer Modified Bitumen Membrane with Nonwoven Polyester or Glass Reinforcement
Description
ABAK ROOF PG is a pre-fabricated polymer-modified bitumen membrane designed for economy and easy applications. ABAK ROOF PG, “P” is reinforced with a non-woven polyester fabric, whereas ABAK ROOF PG, “G” is reinforced with a glass fibre mat. The reinforcement is impregnated and coated on both sides with polymer-modified bitumen.
Usage
ABAK ROOF PG membrane is ideal for a wide range of waterproofing applications including roofs, basements, tunnels, car parks, and reservoirs.
Advantages
- Total impermeability; Good bondability & seam integrity
- Stability at high temperatures; Good flexibility; Compatible with all normal roofing and building components

Quality Assurance
In addition to undergoing stringent regular tests by BITUMAT’s laboratory, our products are periodically tested by Independent Laboratories to ensure consistent quality.
Application
ABAK ROOF PG is installed by torch welding method, loose-laid, or fully bonded to the substrate. When loose-laid, only laps are bonded together. Peripheries and protrusions are sealed according to specifications.
Installation Tools Required:
Gas torch, Knife, Trowel, Measuring tape, Marking string, Gloves.
Coverage Rate (Approx.):
(Rate may vary as per site requirement)
Flat areas: 1.15 M2 /M2 per layer with 10 cms. side laps and 15 cms. end laps.
Base flashing: 100×35 cms. with 15 cm. end laps, 0.40 M2 / Linear Mtr.
Average wastage: 3 – 5%
Torching Guidelines
The underside of the membrane should be torched just enough to superficially melt the bitumen. Excessive heating may damage the reinforcement. Overlaps should be re-heated from the top and resealed with a trowel to ensure seam integrity.
