INTRODUCTION FINISHES
BITUMAT APP root resistant waterproofing Polyflame Garden I - 3 mm black finish
reinforced membranes are produced from a Polyflame Garden II - 4 mm granule finish
blend of special polypropylene thermoplastic
polymers, distilled bitumen and selected QUALITY CONTROL
additives. This combination gives the proven In addition to stringent regular tests by

OUTSTANDING FEATURES GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR TORCHING
• Root penetration resistance The underside of the membrane should be
• Good elongation and recovery torched just enough to superficially melt the
• High tensile strength and tear resistance bitumen. Excessive heating may damage the
• Very good puncture resistance reinforcement. Overlaps should be reheated
• Excellent for mechanical anchorage from the top and resealed with a trowel to
• Rot-proof ensure seam integrity
