Applications in Bitumen Roofing


sample content imageThe construction process becomes increasing more complex, each year building contractors liabilities more extensive, a quality roof based on appropriate roofing material, design & safety. A new generation of fire resistant roofing membranes worldwide popular concept based on graphite technology. Expandable graphite gives Hi-Tec roofing systems with the highest resistance to fire, optimal security for man & environment.
When developing new generation of fire retardant modified bituminous roofing membranes, we should resolutely choose hard road to innovation keeping following objectives in mind.

  1. Exclude the use of toxic fire retardants in bituminous coating.
  2. Fully conform to the European standards for spread of flame on roof.
  3. Generate an improvement in secondary burning effect such as smoke density, toxic gases & halogen free execution.
  4. Offers a guarantee that fire resistant characteristics will be maintained during entire life span of the roof.

RESISTANCE TO FLYING EMBERS:- Fire that originate elsewhere (the so-Called flying embers) constitute a real danger, Expandable graphite of grade BR-108 with high quality cap sheet that is part of a fire resistant system, offers a solution to this problem.

VERY LOW SMOKE DENSITY:- In a fire, the smoke generated by fire very often causes more victims than fire itself .The expandable graphite constitutes a very effect incorporated smoke suppressor, it is halogen free & causes no toxic effects resulting from escaping halogen compounds at the time of installation or during fire, Expandable graphite tests very positively with respect to smoke density, CO content & of course emission of said noxious halogen compounds, produces better results than all alternative fire reducing systems.

Features and Benefits:

  • Non Halogenated
  • Comply with stringent specifications & RoHS norms
  • Little or no change in the existing manufacturing process
  • Non toxic and non-hazardous
  • Eliminates toxic gas emissions from burning gas material
  • Anti dripping property, Prevents base material from dripping during base material
  • Easy addition
  • Better & efficient feeding
  • Economical in use
  • No obnoxious fumes (Liable to danger)
