APP Modified Bituminous Waterproofing Membrane - APP modified non-woven spun bond Polyesterrot-proof fabric reinforced bituminous membrane for superior waterproofing

An APP modified bituminous waterproofing membrane is a bitumen sheet modified with atactic polypropylene and reinforced with fabric. The modification improves heat resistance and flexibility, while the reinforcement adds tensile and tear strength. Rolls are laid over the surface to form a continuous barrier, making it a widely used bituminous waterproofing membrane in the GCC.

Bituminous waterproofing membrane is commonly used on terraces, balconies, basements, swimming pools and water retaining structures. It also suits pile heads, concrete foundations and footings, bridges and tunnels. Because it covers large areas in continuous sheets, it is a standard choice for roof waterproofing in the UAE.

Yes. It offers good temperature resistance to both cold and warm temperatures, which matters in UAE and GCC climates. The spun bond polyester reinforcement is rot-proof and gives dimensional stability, and the membrane resists ageing when applied as part of a proper system. Its flexibility absorbs structural movement caused by heat.

Yes, terraces and balconies are among its main applications. The membrane is laid as a continuous layer across the slab, with laps sealed to stop water entry. Its high tensile and tear strength helps it survive foot traffic and site work during the finishing stages of terrace waterproofing.

Yes. Swimming pools and water retaining structures are listed applications. The membrane forms a continuous barrier that holds up under constant water pressure, supported by good puncture resistance and fatigue resistance. For drinking water tanks, a certified potable water coating such as SmartCare Polyurea PW is the correct option instead.

Yes, basement waterproofing is a common use. It is applied to basements, pile heads, concrete foundations and footings, where it resists ground water. Its dimensional stability and tear strength help it stay intact during backfilling. Bridges and tunnels are protected with the same type of system.

An APP modified bitumen membrane is a factory made reinforced sheet with a controlled thickness, unlike liquid systems that are brushed or sprayed on site. Sheets give consistent thickness and high tensile strength, but the laps must be sealed correctly. Liquid coatings cure seamless, which suits complex shapes and detailing.

SmartCare BituShield Membrane is an APP modified, non-woven spun bond polyester rot-proof fabric reinforced bituminous membrane offering excellent tensile strength, tear strength, puncture resistance, fatigue resistance and dimensional stability. Use it on swimming pools, water retaining structures, basements, terraces, balconies, pile heads, concrete foundations, footings, bridges and tunnels.
