Overview

Engineered for the sun. Maximum heat resistance.

APP Bitumen Membrane is a plastomer-modified bitumen waterproofing membrane using atactic polypropylene, engineered specifically for the GCC's intense solar exposure. Its high softening point and superior UV resistance make it the preferred choice for exposed roof applications where summer surface temperatures regularly exceed 70 °C.

Specified by Ofixotech crews on warehouse roofs, industrial facilities, and exposed terraces — fully compatible with mineral-finish topcoats and pavement protection systems.

Key Features

  • APP polymer modification — high softening point (150°C+)
  • Superior UV and weathering resistance
  • Polyester or fiberglass reinforcement options
  • Mineral-finished surface for direct exposure
  • Excellent dimensional stability under thermal load
  • Torch-on application with full substrate bond
