rich bitumen & select polymers blended together. It is used for waterproofing of building roofs of all types,
basements, foundations, swimming pools & water retaining structures because it has excellent heat resistance
& cold temperature flexibility. The polymer-modified bitumen is then coated on to a dimensionally stable non-
woven polyester/ fibreglass carrier to obtain high tensile strength, tear & puncture resistance. The Dr. Fixit
Torchshield membranes are available in both SBS & APP modified versions.
