APP and SBS Modified Bitumen Membrane (Torch Applied)

This product is produced in different types based on Fiberglass or Polyester as per the customers' requirements and in full compliance to the Egyptian Standards ES 4125/2003 & ES 4126/2003, UEA-TC, UNI, ASTM, and ISO standards.

a) APP MODIFIED BITUMEN MEMBRANE (TORCH APPLIED)

We produce two types of modified bitumen membrane, with different reinforcement :

1- N series: membrane with non-woven polyester reinforcement 3 and 4 mm thickness.

It is a high performance waterproofing membrane designed for easy torch application, made out of distilled bitumen modified with polymers and reinforced with a non-woven polyester mat which adds excellent puncture and tearing resistance to the membrane, and multi-directional elongation.

It is suitable for waterproofing as a layer or layers for foundations, bridge decks, roofs, wet areas, hydraulic works, metal floors, flower boxes and for many other purposes where high strength is required.

2- G series: membrane with glass-fiber reinforcements 3 and 4 mm thickness.

It is a high performance waterproofing membrane designed for easy torch application or it is secured using mechanical means. It is made out of distilled bitumen modified with polymers and reinforced glass-fiber used for complementary plies in built-up waterproofing systems. It is used together with other materials and/or products as leveling layer, a separation layer, or to accommodate movement in built-up waterproofing systems.

b) SBS MODIFIED BITUMEN MEMBRANE (TORCH APPLIED)

Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) Modified Bitumen Membrane reinforced with non-woven polyester torch applied.

It is a very high performance waterproofing membrane which has excellent response to thermal shock and excellent resistance to fatigue and has flexibility at low temperature (-20°C).

But compared with APP membrane, SBS membrane are more sensitive to high temperatures, require more care in application and, since they present poor resistance to ultraviolet radiation, heavy protection to membrane must be used.

1- N series: membrane with non-woven polyester reinforcement 3 and 4 mm thickness.

c) MEMBRANES SELF-PROTECTED WITH COLORED MINERAL GRANULES

It is a high performance waterproofing membrane designed for easy torch, excellent resistance to UV rays. It is used for non-trafficable flat roofs having a slope up to 5%.

BITUMINOUS EMULSIONS AND SOLUTIONS :

INSUPRIMER:

Cold applied primer, formulated with highly pliable, flexible asphalt, and selected petroleum solvents and additives. It is used for concrete, smooth asphalt, roofs, brick and metal surfaces. Also it protects timber against fungi, termite and carbonization.
It is generally used before application of bituminous products. 

BITUCOAT:

Cold liquid applied bituminous waterproofing emulsion. It forms an elastic and durable waterproofing film that resists the attack of weather, salt, water, many acids and alkalis.
It is a general purpose waterproofing coating suitable for application to existing roofs underground concrete and metals roofs. It is a protective coating for concrete surfaces subject to attack from soil and salty water and withstands moderate concentration of acids and alkalis.
Used for concrete, brick, tile, wood and polystyrene foam, foundation, below-grade walls, roofs and pipes. It is suitable for waterproofing systems in general (for civil and industrial buildings of all kinds).

INSUTEX:

Cold applied adhesive bituminous compound formulated from ductile high quality asphalt, selected solvent and special additives .
It is good adhesive for vinyl tiles, vinyl Sheet, Polystyrene foam and roofing felt .

INSUMAT produces any bituminous membrane with self-protection colored slate flakes and any bituminous solvent base solution, paint, coating and mastics as per the customers' requirements.

INSUMAT has an expert installation team for all kinds of roofing, damp-roofing, sound and thermal insulation.

The annual production surpasses 10 million m² for both Oxidized Bitumen Membrane and Modified Bitumen Membrane.

Quality Control Program

Insumat adopts an efficient Quality Control Program to assure the top quality of all its products; an expert team consisting of quality control engineers is available to conduct all required material tests and inspections using the latest laboratory facilities and equipment.

Quality Control Program Activities:

1. Inspection of all locally or internationally supplied materials is conducted to ensure full compliance to quality standards.
   
   
2. Preventive activities are to be taken prior and during manufacturing steps to avoid later failures.
   
   
3. Inspection tests of thickness, weight, reinforcement position, width and length of products are to be conducted periodically during manufacturing to ensure full compliance to quality standards.
   
   
4. Prior to delivery, performance tests of the final products are to be conducted using in-house lab facilities to ensure their compliance to required quality standards.

Finally, additional tests of the final products can be conducted at independent laboratories as ESO or HBRC upon request.

Certification and Accreditation

Insumat has been recognized and approved locally and internationally for its top quality products by accredited certification bodies, such as EOS (Egypt) and Imper (Italy)
