Product Introduction
Bitumen, a marvel of the construction realm often referred to as asphalt, is celebrated for its dense, black, and exquisitely viscous texture derived from petroleum. This exceptional waterproofing material is lauded for its unparalleled performance, rendering it indispensable across the construction industry. Bituminous membranes stand as the quintessential solution for all-encompassing waterproofing needs, extending their protective embrace to roofs, basements, and subterranean structures, and stretching their prowess to bridges and a multitude of other edifices. Primarily, there are two distinguished methods to apply these extraordinary bitumen membranes.
The first method is the esteemed Torch-on technique, while the second is the innovative Self-adhesive approach.
Torch-on bituminous membranes are the ideal choice for any climatic condition, offering unmatched versatility and ease. When CHENHUA membranes are applied with expertise, they metamorphose into a seamless, watertight shield that becomes one with the surface, providing unrivaled protection.

Torch Down Bitumen Waterproof Membranes are the premier selection for waterproofing and seepage-proofing across an extensive range of building categories. Whether for visible or concealed areas, these membranes excel in safeguarding flat roofs, sloped roofs, underground cavities, tunnels, bridges, parking garages, reservoirs, and much more.
Application method:
1. Substrate:
Ensure the substrate is impeccably clean, dry, and devoid of contaminants, setting the stage for flawless application.
All dust, alongside loose and friable particles, must be meticulously eliminated.
Blowholes and voids should be exposed completely and expertly remedied thereafter.
2. Primer:
Before membrane placement, meticulously apply the primer. Cleanse the substrate using a dust catcher or blower, then coat it with a primer treatment to enhance waterproofing, ensuring effective dust consolidation and superior adhesion.
3. Membrane placement:
*Unroll the torch-on membrane with exactitude, aligning it accurately before initiating the torching or bonding process.
*Lay each membrane in parallel, ensuring a staggering by at least 1 meter to prevent coinciding joints and optimize stability.
*Alternating the end-to-end overlaps is essential, avoiding alignment along a singular line for heightened structural integrity.
*Always begin at the lowest slope height, prioritizing drains, downpipes, or other pivotal details.
*During the torching process, heat both the membrane and substrate concurrently, concentrating on the roll and overlapping areas for a steadfast bond.
*Precisely weld overlaps to guarantee a tidy trickle of melted mixture, approximately 1 cm wide, along the overlap line for a flawless finish.
4.Utilize a roller to firmly compress the membrane surface, ensuring adhesion that endures the test of time.
Attention:
1. The substrate must be dry and spotless. Avoid any work on rainy or snowy days to achieve prime results.
2. Avoid operations in winds exceeding grade 5 to maintain both safety and quality.
3. Construction should be halted if temperatures fall below 5°C.
4. If precipitation occurs during construction, protective measures for the laid membrane are essential to uphold quality.
5. All personnel must don designated safety uniforms, with fire control equipment being a mandatory fixture during installation.

Packing and shipping:
1. Store membranes in a dry, well-aired environment to maintain their integrity.
2. Different membrane types should be stored separately to prevent any intermixing.
3. Under optimal storage conditions, the preservation period is one year from the production date.
4. During transportation, it is imperative to ensure that membrane rolls are stored vertically. Protect them from sunlight and rain to maintain their quality and performance.

1) What is the most popular size for the Torch-on bitumen membrane?
-The preferred size is 3mm x 1m x 10m, featuring a PE or sand granular top. This versatile option provides exceptional performance for varied applications.
-The dimensions are 4mm thickness x 1m width x 10m length, with available finishes of PE film or sand granular top, delivering robust durability and reliable protection.
2) What is the essential distinction between SBS and APP modifiers?
-SBS and APP are state-of-the-art modifiers that notably enhance membrane capabilities. SBS modifiers are renowned for significantly improving cold resistance, making them ideal for frigid environments. In contrast, APP modifiers are acclaimed for boosting heat resistance, adapting membranes to withstand hot climates. Though visually similar, these modifiers address unique environmental challenges, ensuring optimal performance.
3) Is OEM service available?
-Absolutely! We are thrilled to provide comprehensive OEM services, welcoming you to partner with us whenever it suits you.
Simply provide us with your logo, and we will create a custom design specifically for you. Alternatively, you can submit your final design, which we will print on PE film. Rest assured, your product will be elegantly packaged and promptly delivered to your specified location.
