Polymer bitumen membranes consisting of particular APAO compound which combines high temperature resistance and significant cold flexibility properties with resistance to stress and dimensional stability.
The PHOENIX SUPER membrane compound consists of a distilled modified bitumen mixture with a very high content of Amorphous Poly- Alpha-Olefins (APAO). These particular elasto-thermoplastic polymers consist of a terpolymer of Ethylene, Propylene and 1-Butene, which has a strong compatibility with bitumen; its peculiar qualities are highlighted by three indicators: thermal ageing resistance, cold flexibility (-35° C), better than SBS modified compounds, and flow resistance at the elevated temperature, higher (140° C) than SBS modified compounds. The extraordinary resistance to thermal ageing of this compound is reflected on increased service life of roofing. Phoenix Super membranes can be used in any climatic zone and mainly on high thermal insulation roofing. Excellent cold flexibility enables easy adaptation of the membrane during installation, which is an important feature in areas characterized by harsh climate. This compound, due to its specific formula, also has a remarkable behaviour against UV rays ageing and provides excellent walkability during application, essential properties on “exposed roofing”; where even the appearance must be impeccable. The compound, after thermal ageing behaviour, does not undergo any kind of decay in both cold flexibility and flow resistance at the elevated temperature.
The membrane is certificated by I.T.C. with D.V.T. 0004/2010 and by BBA with Agrément Certificate 99/3586.
Special polyester reinforcement with high resistance to hail impact.
