Sheet Membranes for Gardening from Durotech

DURO TORCH GARDEN -APP Compound (High Strength Polyester)

Duro Torch Garden is a bituminous plastomeric torch - on waterproofing sheet membrane. It is manufactured from a compound based on a selected distilled bitumen modified with atactic polypropylene (APP), anti-root additives and reinforced with a high strength non-woven polyester fabric.

The combination of a high performance polymer bitumen and high strength polyester reinforcement provides a durable solution ensuring good flexibility at low temperatures and excellent heat resistance.

Guaranteed Quality
The Duro Torch range is manufactured under ISO 9001 Total Quality guidelines.

Uses
Duro Torch Garden exhibits both excellent dimensional and mechanical stability, making it particularly suitable for waterproofing civil, industrial and residential building projects. Limited land resources and expensive energy costs have contributed to creating the need for green roofs. Green roofs provide excellent insulation, reduce noise transmission and improve air quality.

Application
The underside of Duro Torch Garden is finished with a thermo-fusible film. This melts upon torching ensuring a clean application. Surfaces to be waterproofed should be dry, clean and free from protrusions. All surfaces should be primed with Duroproof™ Bitumen Primer.

The product is torched on with minimal use of a propane gas flame, making it easy and quick to apply. Apply the heat to the underside of the membrane and melt down part of the bituminous undercoating. Form overlaps along the side of 8-10cm and 12-15cm laps at end.

Additional Information
Keep the product away from solvents and organic liquids as they may damage the product. When laying the membrane, the surface must be free from any items which may puncture the membrane. Do not apply in rain or below 5°C.Store in an upright position. When unloading avoid impact damage.
