BITUMAT POLYFLAME is a superior, high performance, pre-fabricated, modified bitumen membrane, consisting of proprietary waterproofing compound, re-inforced with spunbonded non-woven polyester mat.
The BITUMAT proprietary waterproofing compound is formulated with select bitumen modified with Attactic Polypropylene (APP) forgreater elasticity, flexibility, and further enhanced with a blend of Thermoplastic Polymer (TP) and Elastoplastic Copolymer (EPC) for high heat resistance, greater elongation and low temperature flexibility. The compound is then stabilized with opaque Mineral Stabilizers (MS) for impact resistance, Ultra Violet (UV) resistance and durability.
The superior waterproofing compound is reinforced with a robust, isotropic, spun-bonded, non-woven polyester mat for increased strength, toughness and dimensional stability
The proprietary compound, the unique reinforcement, combined with famous BITUMAT process technology and rigid quality assurance procedures, yield the most reliable and dependable waterproofing membrane.
BITUMAT POLYFLAME is a universal, all purpose membrane, excellent in a single layer or multilayer roofing systems, underground waterproofing, multi-story car parks, pond lining, irrigation canals lining, swimming pools or any structure that requires high performance waterproofing.
BITUMAT POLYFLAME is available in three basic finishes:
Black smooth finish with polyethylene surfaces for covered applications.
Granule surfacing for exposed applications.
Fine sanded upper surface for coated systems.
In addition to stringent regular tests by BITUMAT laboratory, our products are tested periodically by Independent Laboratories.
BITUMAT POLYFLAME complies with the requirements and tolerance levels of the listed standards. Some of which modified to better suit the various climatic conditions around the world.
American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM D 6222 Type II..
European Union of Technical Agreement (UEAtc) MOAT 27 1983 and MOAT 30 1984.

German Standard DIN 52133.
The underside of the membrane should be torched just enough to superficially melt the bitumen. Excessive heating may damage the re-inforcement. Overlaps should be re-heated from the top and re-sealed with a trowel to ensure seam integrity. For details of installation methods and flashing requirements, consult the relevant BITUMAT Systems Design and Installation Manual.
(Rate may vary as per site requirement)
Flat areas: 1.15 M2/M2 per layer with 10 cms. side laps and 15 cms. end laps. Base flashing: 100x35 cms. with 15 cm. end laps, 0.40 M2 / Linear Mtr Average wastage: 3 - 5 %BITUMAT POLYFLAME is installed by torch welding method, loose-laid or fully bonded to substrate. When loose-laid, only overlaps are bonded together. Peripheres and protrusions are sealed according to specifications

Bitumat was founded in 1984 but its roots go back to 1975 when the founders became involved in the roofing waterproofing industry as dealer and applicator in Saudi Arabia for a major manufacturer from the U.S.A.
