Product Introduction
Bitumen, a sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum, is renowned for its impeccable waterproofing properties, making it a cornerstone in construction. Bituminous membranes are the ideal choice for waterproofing roofs, basements, below-ground structures, bridges, and more. Two primary methods for the application of bitumen membranes exist.
These methods are Torch-on and Self-adhesive.
Torch-on bituminous membranes shine as an effective, easy, and versatile solution for all seasons. Upon application, CHENHUA's bituminous membranes transform into a seamless, watertight barrier that bonds securely to the surface, ensuring long-lasting protection.

Torch Down Bitumen Waterproof Membranes find application across various building waterproofing and seepage-proofing projects. They excel in both exposed and unexposed settings, such as flat roofs, sloped roofs, underground spaces, tunnels, bridges, parking lots, reservoirs, and more.
Application method:
1. Substrate:
Ensure the substrate is impeccably clean, dry, and free of contaminants, prepared to perfection.
Remove all dust and loose, friable material entirely.
Completely expose and repair any blow holes and voids.
2. Primer:
Prior to laying the membrane, apply the painting primer, use a dust catcher or blower to clear the substrate, then coat thoroughly with a treatment primer to consolidate dust and achieve optimal adhesion.
3. Membrane placement:
*Carefully unroll the torch-on membrane and align it precisely before commencing torching or bonding.
*Lay each membrane parallel and staggered by at least 1 meter to prevent joint overlap.
*End-to-end overlaps must be alternated and never aligned along a single line.
*Begin from the lowest height of the slope, ensuring drains, downpipes, and other details are accounted for.
*During torching, simultaneously heat the membrane and substrate, focusing on the roll and overlapping areas.
*Weld the overlaps with meticulous care until a thin trickle of melted composite, approximately 1 cm wide, emerges along the overlap line.
4.Employ a roller to apply firm pressure on the membrane surface, ensuring a robust, secure bond.
Attention:
1. The substrate must remain dry and clean. Avoid working in rainy or snowy conditions.
2. Refrain from working under heavy wind conditions (above 5 grade).
3. Construction is unsuitable in temperatures below 5°C.
4. Should rain or snow occur during the construction process, it's essential to implement protective measures for the laid membrane.
5. All workers must wear specialized uniforms for safety during installation. Fire control equipment is necessary.

Packing and shipping:
1. Store membranes in dry and well-ventilated conditions to maintain quality.
2. Different membrane types should be stacked separately to avoid cross-contamination.
3. Under normal conditions, membranes can be stored for up to one year from the production date.
4. During transportation, membrane rolls should be kept vertical and protected from sunlight and rainwater.

1) What are the popular sizes for Torch-on bitumen membrane?
- 3mm x 1m x 10m with PE or sand granular top
- 4mm x 1m x 10m with PE or sand granular top
2) What's the difference between SBS and APP?
-SBS and APP serve as crucial modifiers that enhance the performance of waterproof membranes. SBS (Styrene Butadiene Styrene) is specifically engineered to boost the cold resistance of the membrane, making it ideal for use in frigid environments. On the other hand, APP (Atactic Polypropylene) is tailored to enhance hot resistance, perfect for warmer climates. While their appearances may be similar, the distinct properties of SBS and APP ensure that each modifier is suitable for different temperature conditions.
3) Is OEM available?
-Yes. We warmly welcome OEM services at any time, ensuring your unique requirements are met with precision.
Please send us your logo, and our talented design team will create a bespoke design for you. Alternatively, you can supply your completed design directly. We will then proceed to print it on PE film and meticulously pack your products, ensuring they are ready for delivery with your personal branding touch.
4) Are you a factory?
-Yes, indeed! Shandong Chenhua Waterproof Co., Ltd. is a distinguished factory specializing in a diverse range of waterproof materials since 1994. Our esteemed facility is nestled in the renowned China Waterproof Town-Taitou. Our products are meticulously crafted to cater to the versatile waterproofing needs of both unexposed and exposed substrates.
5) What is the delivery time?
-Typically, an order is completed within 10 days after order confirmation. However, delivery times may vary depending on specific requirements and the quantity ordered, ensuring a tailored service for every client.
