Mod Bit App Roofing Systems
Material Composition: Mod Bit APP roofing systems consist of a base sheet made of polyester or fiberglass mat, which is then coated or impregnated with a mixture of asphalt and Atactic Polypropylene (APP) polymer modifiers. The asphalt provides waterproofing properties, while the APP modifiers enhance the material’s durability and resistance to UV radiation.
Durability: Mod Bit APP roofing systems offer excellent durability and resistance to weathering. The APP modifiers provide enhanced flexibility, making the roofing material less prone to cracking or splitting under temperature changes. This flexibility allows the roof to accommodate structural movements without compromising its integrity.
Waterproofing: Mod Bit APP roofing systems offer excellent waterproofing capabilities. The combination of asphalt and APP modifiers creates a highly water-resistant barrier, protecting the underlying structure from water infiltration and potential damage.
Energy Efficiency: While Mod Bit APP roofing systems do not possess inherent reflective properties, coatings or surfacing options can be applied to enhance their energy efficiency. Adding a reflective coating or surfacing material can improve the roof’s solar reflectivity, reducing heat absorption and contributing to energy savings.
Maintenance: Mod Bit APP roofing systems require regular inspections and maintenance. It’s important to monitor the roof for any signs of damage, such as punctures, cracks, or blisters. Routine maintenance practices, such as cleaning debris, ensuring proper drainage, and addressing any issues promptly, can help extend the roof’s lifespan.
