Product Introduction
Bitumen, a celebrated marvel in the world of construction and commonly known as asphalt, is a dense, black, and highly viscous material derived from petroleum. This extraordinary waterproofing agent is lauded for its unparalleled performance, making it essential in a multitude of construction applications. Bituminous membranes stand out as the ideal choice for all-encompassing waterproofing solutions, serving roofs, basements, and underground structures, as well as bridges and numerous other constructions. Notably, there are two primary application techniques for bitumen membranes.
The first renowned method is the Torch-on technique, followed by the Self-adhesive approach.
Torch-on bituminous membranes are the ultimate solution for any weather condition, offering unrivaled versatility and simplicity. When CHENHUA membranes are applied with expertise, they become a seamless, watertight barrier that bonds intimately to the surface, providing unmatched protection.

Torch Down Bitumen Waterproof Membranes are the premier choice for waterproofing and seepage-proofing, catering to a vast range of building grades. Whether used in exposed or concealed areas, these membranes excel at safeguarding flat and sloped roofs, underground spaces, tunnels, bridges, parking lots, reservoirs, and many more applications.
Application method:
1. Substrate:
Ensure that the substrate is impeccably clean, dry, and devoid of contaminants, ready for flawless application.
Thoroughly remove all dust and any loose or friable materials.
Fully expose and expertly repair any blowholes and voids for a perfect finish.
2. Primer:
Meticulously apply a primer before placing the membrane. Use a dust catcher or blower to clean the substrate, then coat it with a treatment primer. This enhances waterproofing by ensuring effective dust consolidation and superior adhesion.
3. Membrane placement:
*Unroll the torch-on membrane with precision, aligning it accurately before commencing the torching or bonding process.
*Lay each membrane in parallel, ensuring they are staggered by at least 1 meter to prevent coinciding joints, which is crucial for optimal stability.
*Alternate the end-to-end overlaps, avoiding alignment along a single line to enhance structural integrity.
*Always begin at the lowest slope height, giving priority to drains, downpipes, or other critical details.
*During the torching process, simultaneously heat both the membrane and substrate, focusing on the roll and overlapping areas to ensure a secure bond.
*Precisely weld overlaps to guarantee a clean trickle of melted mixture, approximately 1 cm wide, along the overlap line for a polished finish.
4.Employ a roller to firmly compress the membrane surface, ensuring flawless adhesion that endures over time.
Attention:
1. The substrate must be dry and clean. Avoid proceeding with work on rainy or snowy days to achieve the best results.
2. Refrain from working in winds stronger than grade 5 to assure safety and quality.
3. Construction should not proceed if the temperature falls below 5°C.
4. If rain or snow occurs during construction, it is crucial to implement protective measures for the laid membrane to preserve quality.
5. All personnel must don designated safety uniforms, and fire control equipment is mandatory during installation.

Packing and shipping:
1. Store membranes in a dry, well-ventilated environment to maintain their quality.
2. Store different types of membranes separately to avoid mixing and preserve their integrity.
3. Under optimal conditions, the storage duration is one year from the production date, ensuring peak product performance.
4. To ensure the utmost care during transportation, it is imperative that membrane rolls are stored in an upright position. This not only helps in preserving their integrity but also shields them from the harshness of sunlight and rain, thereby ensuring they remain in pristine condition upon delivery.

1) What is the most sought-after size for Torch-on bitumen membranes?
-The 3mm x 1m x 10m dimension, with a choice of a PE or sand granular top, stands out as the preferred size. This combination is celebrated for offering unparalleled versatility and exceptional performance.
-Dimensions offered: a robust 4mm thickness, 1m width, and 10m length. These come with either a protective PE film or a sand granular top finish, ensuring superior performance.
2) What distinguishes SBS from APP in their applications?
-Both SBS and APP are cutting-edge modifiers designed to significantly amplify membrane performance. SBS modifiers are particularly adept at boosting cold resistance, making them indispensable for colder climates. In contrast, APP modifiers excel in enhancing heat resistance, making them ideal for warmer environments. Despite their similar appearance, each modifier is tailored to address distinct environmental challenges effectively.
3) Do you offer OEM services?
-Absolutely! We are thrilled to extend our full range of OEM services, inviting you to collaborate seamlessly with us whenever you're ready.
All you need to do is provide us with your logo, and we will elegantly craft a custom design that aligns with your requirements. Alternatively, if you have a finalized design, we can print it on PE film. Rest assured, your product will be beautifully packaged and delivered promptly to your desired location.
4) Are you a factory or a trading company?
